Last day in Kk- 19

Since the last entry I wrote, I was very busy the following days. I couldn't recall what I did but all I remembered was doing all the cooking for my brother every day. My brother has gotten through the 4 days of chemo well, with a slight fever within that period, and now waiting a word from the doctor to be discharge today. My brother doesn't like staying in the hospital and fidgeting to go home as soon as possible. I can understand his feelings because I would not want to stay there myself too. On Friday night, I stayed at the hematology ward throughout the rest of the night to give him accompany. I just sat there just for a few minutes and I felt the boredom already even though I had books with to read. Sleeping in the hospital is not a peaceful environment to be indulged in as nurses and other patients are constantly doing something that pretty much disturb your sleep.

Well, these days doing cooking it is not easy to do 3 meals a day. I practically have one hour or two for personal time and wasn't enough to do my own things. During this time, I have gained a perspective which I have never comprehended before. Taking the role of my mother as the housewife of the family is not an easy task to do. Mother is still lying in the room and without her presence in the kitchen to advice me over my cooking, I had to experience all on my own understanding and learning. I cut my finger while deboning a whole chicken, I burned my dhal and chicken teriyaki while my mind was on other things, cooked funny tasting herbal chicken bone soup, rice turned out slushy, unraised banana cake etc. LOL.. I wonder where are all my cooking skills, I remembered these are all the dishes always good at cooking.

...to be continue (off to market to buy things) I will write about the experience as a full time mother at home or so it seems like that as a daughter working at home for the family
