The diary game. A Day Spent Caring for My Mother’s Health

Hello, dear friends! How is everyone doing? I hope you are all well and enjoying your time with your loved ones, no matter where you are. Today, I want to share another day of my life with you all. I hope you find some time to read my post and that you find it enjoyable enough to upvote.

I got up very early in the morning, as I usually do, and straight away after getting up, I purified myself by performing ablution and then went for the morning prayers. Soon after I completed praying and making supplications, I headed back home and straightaway got into my bed again to save myself from the cold, as it was very chilly outside. I could feel that chill in my bones, so I was very quick to return home and get back to bed.

I was up again when the breakfast was ready, and I was called by my mother. Before I had my breakfast, I freshened up again and then quickly finished my breakfast because I had to accompany my mother to a neurologist in Srinagar. We had got an appointment over the phone, and I was quick to get ready, and so was my mother, because the doctor remains available till the afternoon, and we were required to reach there well within time. As the neurologist is quite popular in our area, a number of patients remain in queue there, and to be there and not wait for long, we had to get ready quickly, and then I left along with my mom.

I took a shortcut route towards the area, as I am quite familiar with it because I had been there while studying in high school. We also had a friend there, actually my mom’s friend, who had known her since my mom got married around 35 years ago. She had informed my mom about the timings when the doctor remains available and had actually got the appointment for my mom as well. She lives very close to the clinic, and as soon as we reached there, we first headed towards the clinic to check whether it was our turn, and upon enquiring, we found that there was still some time left. Thus, we decided to go to her place, as she had already told my mom to meet her when we visited the doctor. My mom told me to drive her to her friend’s home. We reached there, stayed for some time, and then headed back towards the clinic, where my mom was checked, and some medicines were recommended by the doctor after we put forward all the medical history.

We were relieved as the doctor responded positively, because I was afraid that my mom might have some serious issue. The thing she was suffering from had been there for quite some time, and she was already undergoing treatment for some other health issue. This issue had been left unattended, and now it was time to treat it as well. The health issue I’m talking about is some sort of shivering she had in her hands while holding something, and it bothered me a lot because I was afraid it might get worse every day. To be on the safer side, getting a check-up by a specialist doctor was important.

We were done in the afternoon and then decided to leave, but before we could leave, the friend of my mother called us again and invited us for lunch. Even after declining a number of times, she didn’t give up and kept on insisting, and then we had no other option but to go to her home again. This time we had our lunch, and at around 3:30 PM we left again. I took the shortcut route to reach my place.

Upon reaching home, I took some rest as I was already tired, and I took a nap later in the day. I had to buy some groceries from the market, so I went there, and it was again an opportunity for me to meet my friends. Later, at around 8 PM, I returned home, and after that, I had my dinner at 9:30 PM. At around 11:30 PM, I went to sleep only after going through social media for a while.

Thank you for going through my post. Have a great time ahead.
