My gynae was attacked by robbers..gawd

oh dear..oh dear. Doc Delaila kena samun pagi buta semalam, in front of her poliklinik in SS19. The robbers were armed with parang and her left thumb was chopped off. Jahaaaaattt!
Yesterday in fact, we heard of this 8 am news on the radio while driving to work. Our interest and sympathy was piqued but when the newscaster mentioned SS19, we perked up even more since it was close to mak's house. Never did it cross our mind it was Delaila. At 8.17am (phone log), I got a call from Delaila's clinic. Devaghi the nurse informed me that Delaila is on emergency leave until October and advised to arrange my checkup with another doctor. I still did not to put two and two together. My thought at that time, 'how come you can have an emergency leave until October'. Since I had a blood test scheduled this weekend, I thought to ask further question to Devaghi and ascertain if Delaila can still deliver my baby in October. But when I was in the office, my colleague gave me the link to the news above on TheStar web and she said it was Delaila and I went....oh my god..
Today, she was the front news in theSun (http://www.thesundaily.my/news/773186). Apparently she had undergone thumb reattachment surgery. I pray for her recovery, I believe for a specialist to loose his/ her fingers will be devastating. Additionally, feeling selfish as well, I pray for her recovery to be in time. Tapi since buat reattachment ni, I don't think she will be normalized (insyaAllah) in time.

I wish her fast recovery. And hope she maintains her hand/thumb functionality.

So now, I'm making enquiries about other gynaes. SDMC has another muslim lady gynae Dato' Dr Siti. Hmmmm...ramai patient lah dia ni. And I'm sure there'll be an influx of Delaila's patient into her clinic. My inclination now is Dr Seri Suniza in PCMC. Quite a number of ppl in my organization opted for PCMC and we were even ridiculed once/ twice of not opting PCMC. Perhaps, we can this an opportunity to chose PCMC. Nothing is finalized yet, am still doing enquiries.
Well, my plan now is to continue doing the blood test in SDMC. Check with Devaghi on the possibility of Delaila's full recovery by early Oct. If full recovery is not possible by Oct, I will then seriously courting another gynae.

31 July
2 youths were charged with robbery and causing grievous injury. Both are in early 20s. Apa laa budak2 mentah ni. Dah merompak, pergi enjoy habuan kat Penang. So shallow. Apparently information about the robbers was tipped by one of the family relatives. If found guilty, the maximum punishment would be 20 years prison and canning. You are wasting your life bros..
Pasal Dr Delaila, she's recovering and thumb reattachment was successful. Cuma tak tahu lagi whether the reattached thumb can get back its original functionality. Hope for the best la.

While doing my med checkup, sempat tanya Doc Siti about Delaila's well-being. Apparently she's still in hospital. Poor doc. Sempat jugak Doc Siti remarked that she'll be monitoring me an dhopefully Delaila will recover in time for my delivery..berdetik jugak la dalam hati ni..diaorg ni in denial ke haper. Lama kut nak tunggu thumb tu recover? I don't think she (her thumb lah) can recover that fast.

Boston Marathon...now Bukit Gasing

A lady runner was stabbed Saturday PM when running the trail in Bukit Gasing. She was with her daughter when both were approached by 2 armed men (wearing full face helmet - to remain anonymous I guess). She managed to tell her daughter to run for safety while she blocked the armed men. Unfortunately, the stab that she received punctured her lung and she died due to the injury.
Aiiii...sedihnya..heard this news on SinarFM. Can't help feeling that the person scouting for SinarFM news is a runner as well. Police suspected this as a murder case. Wallahu'alam..jauhkanlah kami sekeluarga daripada orang2 yg zalim, Ya Allah.

Boston Marathon 2013..what a tragedy

Oh my god...2 bombings near the finishing line of Boston Marathon. Sapa yg jahat sangat ni. This is truly a sad day for running community. 3 were killed (including 8 year old boy..sedihnya) and 100plus were hurt. This is really terrible. Jahatnya diaorg ni...Ya Allah, semoga orang2 ini mendapat balasan di akhirat dan jauhkanlah kami dari malapetaka seperti ini.

“Today our running community, our family, was attacked. No matter where we live, what we do, how fast we are, what our dreams are, what we are running from, or where our miles lead – we are a running family. We mark miles, we ache, we try, we fail, we triumph and we endure. I don’t know if our family was the target, or if the splendor of the event or venue was the intended backdrop – but it doesn’t really matter. We are hurting. We are wounded. We are wondering. We fear. We grieve.

Let’s instead do what runners do best. Let’s be strong. Let’s be patient as information comes in. Let’s pace ourselves. Let’s endure. Let’s close the gap and tighten up the pack. Let’s recover together.
The road ahead is long. But little do they know, we’re good with that.”
