Still Around

Some of you might have realised, I wasn't around much lately. I was and still having such a hectic time plus the fact that a few things had happened and it had put me in gloominess for the past weeks. If you still remember, I wrote a Haiku for my friend who passed away and sad to say, the passing away of those close to me seemed to take place one after another and happened in the same month of February. After my friend's death, I lost a relative who was also called to rest. After her death, my uncle, my father's eldest brother, also left forever. In the case of my friend and relative, their deaths were due to illnesses but not for my late uncle. It was a terrible blow to everyone of us on knowing his sudden death but the Almighty loves him more than us, thus he was called to meet Him.

Apart from the above reasons, I am facing some problems with my right hand.  The pain has not subsided for 3 weeks already. This morning, I went to see the doctor again and I was told the tendon at my wrist is still swollen. I asked him why it takes such a long time to heal. According to him, it isn't easy to heal too soon, sometimes the pain could get worse. When it's unbearable, he said I should see a specialist for  an injection at the tendon. He told me to rest and not making "funny movements" with my thumb. I feel a sharp pain right up to my upper arm when I move my hand backwards and when I touch my little finger with my thumb. The pain is giving me a hard time because the movements of my right hand have to be restricted.

The other reason why I wasn't even able to update my blog and visit friends' blogs is because for the whole month of February and even right now, I have so much to do. This isn't a complaint. It's part of my job doing lots of paper works and also preparing a 5-year-strategic-plan which are documented in more than 200 pages. It isn't a one person's job but everyone's job by having many meetings to discuss on what should be done.

There you are, my dear friends. I know you accept my explanations. Even if I am not at your blogs but everyone of you is kept close at my heart. I will try my best to be as usual whenever I am able to do so. Thank you to those of you who had emailed me and showed your concern by asking how am I getting on.

Don't worry, I'll still be around. I miss all of you and miss visiting your wonderful blogs. Will be there when I'm able to do so.
