Support : Crutches vs Kin



Assalamualaikum and Greetings

Getting On With Walking . . .


When one is hospitalized for any kind of medical observation or treatment one will somehow feel all alone. All of a sudden all form of uncertainty will take shape in one's mind. But . . . whatever it has to be . . . one must abide by the rule for "healing" and follow the measures to be taken for "health recovery" . . . for the sake of one's well-being. This will be the moment when one needs one's kin around . . .






Precisely, when one wants to be able to walk again (in short time) after an 'operation' of the leg . . . crutches are recommended. With the aid of crutches one is supposed to be well supported and should be able to overcome difficulties in one's effort to move around. So much for mere physical recovery.












No doubt one will be well-placed on the road to recovery with good medical attention and treatment while at the hospital. Thus much appreciation must be given to the surgical/medical team that operated on Halim's leg and took care of him at the University of Malaya Specialist Centre throughout the time he was there. The team was ably led by Associate Prof Dr Vivek Ajit Singh. Thank you all.













But what with when one goes through the uncertainty of guessing the time when one could really walk straight again? Nothing beats kin support. Moral and material support from one's own kin in such a situation have more often than not proven most effective. One's recovery would definitely be faster and more complete. The pain and stress naturally lessened. Both the physical and spiritual aspects are effectively taken care of in this manner.





And . . . that was exactly what Halim Zaharyn experienced. He is at present well on the road to recovery after having had his left calf muscle removed in a surgery for tumour about a month ago. He seems ready for work in that office of his (on foreign soil) once again. Thanks to kin care and sincere understanding. It makes a world of a difference!









Hopefully Halim's colleagues over there would at the least kindly consider rendering him that little bit of "family" concern touch.








Crutches are certainly incapable of doing that! (Nor do wheelchairs.) They only lend support . . . without rendering any concern!

Walk on son!
