Board passer

My friend Lorena recently passed the nursing board exam. She is a certified nurse now. Unfortunately, she may not be able to look for a nursing or medical job anytime she wants after she met an accident last August. She was on her way to drop off her son to school when she slipped and fell on the pavement. The accident caused a broken bone in her right foot. She was immediately operated on to repair the bone fracture. She was dependent on crutches for a while and lately she uses a cane to walk gradually.

It will take time before she can be her old self again. And applying for work will also take a back seat for now. She intends to serve at a local hospital and then apply for a job abroad. She wishes to reunite with her siblings in the US in the next couple of years.

Oh, feet!

We were at the mall last Saturday to buy some personal items. I was dead tired and sleepy when we got home. I feel like hitting the sack right away if only I don’t have kids to attend to. Well, my kids are no longer babies, but sometimes they need to be reminded to do certain things before going to bed (like brushing their teeth, etcetera).

I don’t hear any complaints from my kids like being tired or so from walking as long as they bought something from the bookstore. Lucky for them they’re young and don’t get tired easily like me. A few minutes of walking inside the mall could give me an instant leg pain. But I think I know an instant solution to my problem. A pair of compression stockings will do the trick for me. A college friend who is diabetic recommends compression stockings to relieve tired feet. Oh well, I have to thank her for that wonderful suggestion. My next visit to the mall will surely be a breeze.

Excited to hit the road

My kids can’t contain their happiness because they will be riding on a plane on our trip to their Dad’s hometown next month. Our niece who took a vacation from work will be joining us in the trip. We are planning to stay in the province for four to five days to meet my husband’s relatives and roam around the beautiful places in the city. If our niece could bring her car via RORO (Roll-on/roll-off ships designed to carry wheeled cargo such as automobiles, trucks, etc that are driven on and off the ship on their own wheels. – wiki), then hubby could bring along his old bike and simply attach it to the thule racks on our niece’s car. We need a free ride to get us to the places that we want to visit when we reach Gensan.
