Have you seen the world with your other eyes?

This morning, i had blackout in my home. Already six times in one month, i had that. But the worst thing, it happened in the early morning, when sunshine still hide inside his cloudy blanket. And really disturbed our activity pace, that needed fast in preparing ourselves before went work.

Working something under low intensity light could be difficult activity. Perhaps for two lovers that have their romantic dinner, dimming light can be extraordinary moment. But how about breakfast? Romantic breakfast? Umm, i dont think so.

And further more,  the one disturbed me a lot about blackout is  preparing your work bag really need your "other eyes". I dont mean about our spiritual eyes, that can be used for seeing unseen in other world eg ghost, angel, etc but I mean about our palpation sense.

Ok, i think urent trust my word bout how valuable ur touch senses. Let us do some trial, in front of u there is your work bag, first please grab it to your lap,gently dont be rush. Second, now shut off ur eyes, please no peeping, ok. be honest to yourselves. third, i ask u to open your bag zipper without opening your eyes, can u find it? ah,i see u can complete that.  Last task, please get yor wallet which placed inside your bag. Not really difficult, right?

Now, let we do second trial. I will borrow u very thick wool gloves and i ask u to wear them double. Then try do the same like first trial. See what happened.

Ya, now u have known how important your sense of touch, unconciously that help u completing lot of ordinary task from  difficult things like sewing or knitting, till very simplest daily thing, open your bra clips.

So have u seen with your other eyes?

For homework activity u can try closing ur eyes while do these
= opening your trousers zipper when u stand facing your urinoir (for men),
= placing your belt,
= inserting your button
= cleaning your dirty nose

and make this list longer with ur daily investigation.... good luck

Physiotherapy Today

occupational physiotherapy room,
 lot of games stuff
Today is my physiotherapy day. Umm, actually not physical physiotherapy, but occupational therapy. I have been in this for 4 months. Lot of patients is sent here, most of them geriatric patients, some of them pediatric, and the other, in productive ages.

In the exercise room, lot of games tools. Makes me feel as if in kindergarten once more. Sand box, clays, dart, and lot of games. So now i know how our activities when we spent our time in kindergarten was really specially designed to train our motoric development. And of course our creativity too.

till now lot of improvement in my daily living. Hold spoon for eating by myself, scratch my back, shower, etc. Although cant be compared with my previous ability before operation. Still need time to accept my disability, but i sure along with time, I can cope and getting usual with all these. Just like my rehabilitative medicine doctor said, " Dont focus to what u loose, but work what still left" or like english proverbs, " Dont cry over spilt milk" , and I add some more , " Let us go to supermarket and buy one."
