Seventh Day

 


Today I came down from the bed and did some walking exercise and also a series of BaDuanJin, Chinese Qi stimulating exercise. My legs felt rather weak. 

Last night I started to sleep at about 9 plus. I was sleeping well until I woke up for my 2pm blood pressure measurement. After that I seem to be wide awake. Try to do some relaxation to sleep and later decided to massage my neck. 

My neck is really sore. I dug deep along the spinal area behind the neck just below the skull. It was real sharp sore pain. I could also feel some harder lump. I continuing massaging and went down the spine leveling with the shoulder. The next sharp sore point was massaging diagonally from the back of the head to the ear. The sores were all on the right sight of the head. I suspect these were cause by the spasm during the fainting spell. As I could also felt that my both my calf muscle were sore. 

Later I hope to shave my hair.

Wife and Yiyu had packed my computer, shaver and shirt, delivered to the hospital. Due to the COVID no visitor is allowed. With the computer I could write some text and get the AL to read for me and convert into video. I should finish up my Udemy lesson on Dao De Jing. I just short of the introduction and the trailer video.

I will get the needed rest. Anyway, I should not talk and that can cause fainting. 

Preparing for the Gama treatment. I should get my head shaved. 

The nurse finally came to help me shaved at about 3:30 pm. I had only a battery that was charged many months ago, the spare battery was dead. The nurse said their shaver was charging. I thought just get on with it and see where the cutting stop with my shaver. LOL. 

She was very careful with the cutting, which was great. Finally it was done and I had a good bath.

Thirty Eight -- A break from the routine

Image
I had decided that Sunday to be dedicated to my other pleasure, photography. The routine of everyday can take a rest. I went out early to photograph birds and nature. Bishan Park, my favourite site, was looking warm and welcoming. Already many people were there, some running, some cycling, some walking and a few photographing with heavy, huge, camouflaged lens. I admired their strength and endurance to haul the weight and held them up to chase after that split moment. The lens and camera are expensive too. I used a bridge camera that is light in weight and my pocket. I hardly felt the prickling during bird hunting, perhaps I was too engrossed, or it was really so. I took all my meal at home and shuttled to the garden again after my breakfast and lunch. It was amazing to watch the bird going by their beings. Finally after two months, I was back to my routine, photographing. Birds are always alert, conscious of their environment and ever ready to take the flight of fright. I had learned ...

Twenty-Third day — reading cursive writing

Image
We went out for morning exercise at 7am. I walked at a slower pace, did about 3500 steps, then wind down with BaDuanJin. There were still some prickling at the tongue while I was walking. Q We saw the Flamed Back Woodpecker, hopping and scanning the bark of the tree trunk. Beautifully lighted in the golden light. She photographed, while I continued my walk. There were many kind park users who love to collect the crust of bread and spread them on selected grass patch, disregarding the no-feeding sign or the regulation. Previously I ever saw a beautiful yellow Oriole choked on the piece of bread. The Myna and the pigeon, mostly the black and grey bird know how to break it down before swallowing them. A proliferation of Myna and Pigeon can impact on the population of other birds population that are necessary for an ecologically balanced nature. Beauty is perhaps the only possible measure of that balance.  I always believe in sharing food with birds or animals but not the wrong kind of...
