Christmas


Compared to last year's Christmas, this year is a little it better, as I haven't expected anybody to be with me. Wing and I had pasta and pizza together before she went for her old friends reunion bbq. Although I was left a lone afterwards, I felt joyful and peaceful on this Christmas eve.


Anyways, this is not the main thing I want to share today. Christmas is season of giving and sharing. Luckily, I was scheduled to do a home assessment with the community physiotherapist. So we went up to this old lady's home and assessed her place. And as physiotherapist, there were several things we could help.

This is the kitchen. This PoPo sits on that stool to cook. Smart!

This is the toilet, the tiny little toilet. Very difficult to turn.

The living room, tiny but sufficient for PoPo.

The is the site of fall most of the time. PoPo could bear her bodyweight and give way when tries to step out from either the kitchen or the toilet.


For some strange reasons, I am kinda interested in working in the community like this. Being a community physiotherapist, we help to assess patients who could not make it to the outpatient department, and those who need to have their homes modified in order to cope with the disabilities/impairments. The "doesn't like to work in the same environment" side of me was jumping around today, a little bit to excited probably.

So yea.......Christmas again. It's not the same here in Hong Kong and I still don't like it.

Peace
