left home for work this morning. before i knew it, there was a heavy downpour. i called home. mum picked up the call, and then the line cut. and i couldn't get back anymore. the line kept playing "the m1 customer you are calling are not available..." i got worried and i tried calling my second sis. no answer. i called my mum, the recorded voice came on again. after trying countless times, i gave up. i smsed my sis to check on my mum as early as possible. thank goodness she got back very quickly.
apparently, when it started pouring, the winds was so strong, the rain splashed into the house as the balcony door was open. and mum tried to get the mop from the kitchen to mop the floor. but in the process of getting the mop, she slipped and fell... by the time my sis got to her, she had picked herself up. and my sis made her rest on the sofa while she cleaned up the rainwater.
i am just glad nothing major happened to mum. thank goodness she fell in the kitchen and not anywhere else cos the floor rug would have cushioned her fall. lesson learned - i better not leave the balcony door opened. and i should arrange for sis to pick mum up as early as possible.
frankly, on one hand, i felt sad for the fact that mum, being so old and is reliant on walking frames and wheelchair to move about, had to be asked to move from my place to sis' place daily. with such issues, she should be resting properly at home and any movements should be minimized. then again, on the other hand, i thought it was actually a good thing to make her move around cos apart from giving her the exercise she needed, such travelling would help to keep her mind active. and this would certainly strengthen her mental capacities. have asked her many a times and she insisted she is ok and felt happy to be moving about (cos after all, she would be bored if she were to stay at home alone).
well, just as long as she is happy...
