My Comfort Zone

Archive for the ‘Medical Supplies’ Category

The latest technology and new innovations never fail to amaze me. From home security systems, the latest electronic gadgets and the high-end medical equipments like that of a Howard-Medical.com medical computer cart, the list simply goes on. And I know it doesn’t stop there. There will be more gadgets, equipment, tools, etc. that are still in the making and will be introduced to us in the future. I guess soon, there will be, flying cars and the like. LOL.

My 8-year-old son and I were watching this show on TV about health when he asked about his late father all of a sudden. He remembered the things that I’ve told him before about why his father died. He had kidney failure and went through hemo-dialysis for two years before he passed.

I still feel sad when I remember those things, especially when I picture things out once again like the night that he was brought to the ICU because he was having difficulty breathing. That was my first time to have entered the ICU and seeing those equipments like ecg machines surrounding him made the room fell kind of creepy to me.

I get sad when I think of those things, but I have moved on. That is part of life. It is inevitable and we can’t do anything but embrace it.

My husband is a very hardworking man and his job takes a lot of physical work; that is why he is always tired when he gets home from work. And there are times that he actually complains of back pain to the point that he will take pain relievers.

Though he hasn’t complained of any back pain as of late, I know he will sometime soon because he is not getting any younger and it really worries me. The pain has to do with muscle pain only though and I guess he won’t be needing a saunders back supports, but if ever, we will never have second thoughts for sure of getting him one.

We went shopping yesterday and saw the elderly roaming the mall. I saw one lady with an arthritis knee brace on which made me admire her. I felt sorry for her though, but it is admiration that I felt more because I felt like it is not something easy to do especially at her age. I was thinking and asking myself while looking at her what could she be feeling at that moment? Was it hurting? Was it uncomfortable? But based on the look on her face, I saw a smile too when our gazes met. She was actually doing great. Good for her!

Hopefully I will not get to the point that I will need to wear one. But if ever, I know I will deal with it with grace.
