All about my knee 都是膝盖的事

I want to go trekking.... go up to the roof to check on the tiles..... pull a cable through the ceiling to connect Asrto to my room TV .... walk in the evening......

These are the things that I wanted to do, I still can do but I don't do because of knee pain. I can climb ladder to go up to the roof, but have problem to bend down to inspect. I can go trekking with a clutch....all these I still can do if I can bear the pain.

If I go for a knee replacement, am I able to do all these.... I think the answer is YES, with a successful operation. But if doesn't, would it take away that little I have?

I know many friends and relatives, including my own family, are concern about my knee problem. I have a friend traveled all the way from KL to Penang to get me some plant roots for my knee. She heard that it is good for knee pain. It is used for boiling soup with pig tail (bottom pic). I have drank four times and so far, no miracle happens. I really appreciate her effort and concern.

As the pain becomes more intense, a decision has to be made soon. Right now I am seeing other doctor(s) for opinion. I have a busy schedule in June and July, thus any decision will be made in August only.

P/s: Before I published this post, my wife and I went to a Dr. Tron bio-electron potential therapy center out of curiosity. It offers electron magnetic treatment free of charge. It offers also far-infrared heat treatment for all types of body pains.

Surprise, we met our good friend there!! Guess who??

I published this post after we parted company..... :D



















we meet again.... :D
又见面了










Far-Infrared
远红外线





我很想去走山径, 我想爬上屋顶,检查屋瓦。。。我也想从大厅,经过天花板,拉条电线,把Astro 连接到我房里的电视。。。。我也想傍晚时做步行运动。。。

这些都是我想做,能做到但没有去做,因为我的膝盖痛。我可以用楼梯爬上屋顶,但不能蹲腰弯膝检视瓦片。我仍然可以走山径,但需要拐杖的支持。我喜欢步行,但膝盖会痛,而且,拿着拐杖做运动,效果不会很好。不过,这些我都可以做到,只要我能够忍受膝盖的痛。

假如我去做更换膝盖手术,我能够做以上的活动吗?我想是可以的,只要那是个成功的手术。但,假如不成功,会不会连我现在还能够做到的,全都会失掉。。。。

我知道很多亲戚朋友,包括我的家人,非常的关心我的问题。甚至我有一个朋友,她专程从吉隆坡上去槟城给我买了些药树根回来,给我陪猪尾巴煲汤 (最上右图),因为她听说能够治好脚痛。我已经喝了四次,但没奇迹出现。不过,我非常衷心的感谢,也感动她的关怀。

我的膝盖现在也越来越痛,走路脚跛已很明显了,该是时候给予关注了。目前我还在看另一位医生,提供意见。在六月和七月,我会很忙,所以任何决定,应该是在七月过后吧。

后注:在我还没上载这篇纪事时,我和太太因好奇,到一个“生体电位疗法”中心,去“坐”电疗磁波“椅。他们还有远红外线”能量发射器”,能治疗身体的各种疼痛,包括关节痛。我也用来射疗膝盖。这全都是免费的。(不知以后有什么隐藏的目的)。

在这个中心,又遇见了老朋友,猜猜是谁 (上右图)?

Another brave woman 另一个勇敢的妇人

Elsie has been suffering from knee osteoarthritis ( knee pain due to worn cartilage) for more than ten years. For the last couple of years, the pain has kept her home bound most of the time. Some unpleasant stories of failed knee replacement operations has put her off from this remedy.

About two months ago, she had a fall. She decided to do something on her legs. she went to see an Orthopedic and was recommended to have knee replacement for both legs. As the date of operation approaching, a small cyst on her left arm suddenly grew big. The Orthopedic has to perform a surgery to remove it.

Three week after the cyst operation, 0n 29 April, she went back gain to the hospital to have her knee replacement operation. Her operation was performed under epidural anaesthesia (partial anaesthesia). She could hear the drilling, hammering and sawing sound. She was praying and remained calm although it was quite a scary experience.

My wife and I visited her last week at her home a few days ago. She was recovering well. She was able to walk with the support of a walker. She was undergoing physiotherapy and expected to resume normal active life in six months time.

Wishing her a speedy recovery.






























陈莲娇 (Elsie )的脚痛,已有整十年的历史了。这是因为膝盖软骨的磨损而引起关节摩擦的疼痛。最近的两年里,脚痛使到她行动不方便,所以大部分时间都是留在家里。她常有听到一些关于手术不成功,或手术后情形更糟的故事,所以对于寻医根治,特别是动手术的事,避而远之。

大约两个月前,她因跌倒而伤到了脚,所以决定要去找骨科专家治疗。专科医生向她推荐了双脚更换膝盖手术。她也接受了。

在将近手术日期时,她的左手的一粒小瘤突然扩大,变成了一粒大肿瘤。医生马上决定把它割除,脚的手术也得延迟了。

在四月二十九日,也就是割除肿瘤手术后的三个星期,她再到会医院,进行更换膝盖的手术。手术室在半身麻醉的情形下进行的。她可以听到电钻声,锤子声,还有电锯声。虽然是有点怕人,但她藉助祈祷,保持镇定。

早几天,我和太太去探访她。她的状况良好,目前在进行康复治疗。医生说需要六个月才能完全复原,回复到正常的生活。

祝愿她早日康复,过一个如往般的活跃生活。

Pig's day 猪哥出头日

From the TV news report, our Parliament was having a Pig Day today.

WHAT?

It started by the "richest jobless man on earth", a.k.a The Son-In-Law, a.k.a The Oxford Graduate, who has an office at a fourth floor in Putrajaya......and a name with Kh.....

He was speaking on the issue of food shortage and the big scale pig rearing project in Selangor.

He made fun of Pakatan Rakyat (PR) and Parti Keadilan Rakyat(PKR) acronyms as an alliance of public relation and project khinzir raksasa (gigantic pig project) respectively.

In response, PAS members hit back at Barisan Nasional (BN) that the pig rearing project is called Project Babi Negara (PBN)!

Lately khinzir, babi, became a hot topic.... many seemed to develop a liking of OOOiiiOiiiooiiiOii
OOiiiiOiOi...

Even pigs have their day! Babi Boleh OiooiOOOiiiioioi !!

But as an MP, an Oxford graduate, may be he has a mixed up brain..... disgraceful !
































昨晚看了电视新闻中的国会报道。乍然惊悉,在昨天的国会里,猪哥哥大领风骚。

原来事情是从那一位“全世界最富有的失业者”, 也是“乘龙快婿”,也是“牛津毕业生”,在布城四楼有办事处的那位。。。名字有 kh..的尊贵国会议员开始。

他在提到目前面对的粮食短缺时,揶揄反对党及其人民阵线。他说在某个州有个养猪计划,叫做 Project Khinzir Raksasa (庞大养猪计划),简称PKR, 也就是公正党的英文缩写字母。他也说人们阵线,Pakatan Rakyat (PR), 就如它的缩写 PR, 只是搞公关而已。

回教党议员也不甘示弱,反击说:不,那是 Project Babi Negara (国家养猪计划),也就是PBN.

最近好像很多人对 Ooioooiooioioio 有兴趣。

看来我们的猪哥哥终于有出头日了。。。。Malaysia Boleh ! 马来西亚可以 !。。oOiooiooOi

但是作为一位国会议员,牛津毕业生,使用这么幼稚的伎俩,这个人头脑是有问题。。!
