The First Test In Balance

Two Thursdays ago, I accompanied my mother for her follow-on check-up with the surgeon who performed her MRM.  My aunt, who came from the province to help care for my mother temporarily, was with us.  As the advice of the surgeon, we went back to her oncologist on the same day.  We had to wait a while since the latter's clinic hours were late in the afternoon.  After the oncologist check-up, I had to go back and forth the Nuclear Medicine Department and the Radiology Department to schedule the tests done this week.  Having finished all the medical chores, we went to have dinner in Chowking.  Then, I saw my mother and aunt off to the terminal, where they took shuttle home.  I, meanwhile, had to commute to attend a posh dinner for managers (Yes.  I got promoted to executive status just this month, but that is another blog post altogether).  It lasted up to midnight and I got home at about 2 in the morning.  The good thing about this is that I'm being tested for the balance I would need to exercise moving forward: caring for my mother and being a manager.
