Miss Yeti is No Ordinary PSK

Mindfulness

"Good morning, Ma'am Yati. How are you and Mr Wasito today?"

Yati, who had introduced herself yesterday, was greeted by the doctor who handled her father.

"Good morning, Doctor Rahayu. We're fine, just a little worried about dad's condition."

The doctor who still looks beautiful despite her age is no longer young, smiled at the answer. This is common in the patient's family.

The woman in service clothes understood what it was like to be in this condition.

"I understand. We will do our best to help Mr Wasito recover. Preliminary results indicate signs of a mild stroke in your father. We'll start with advanced tests such as a CT scan to better understand his condition."

"Thank you, Doctor. What should we prepare for the test?" tanya Yati, responding to the explanation of doctor Rahayu.

Mr. Wasito is required to conduct examinations and therapy for the stroke he suffered.

Old men will undergo a series of medical steps again, such as undergoing a physical examination by a doctor, which includes measurements of blood pressure, heart rate, and neurologic.

After that, the doctor ordered additional tests CT scan or MRI to see the condition of his brain.

"Not to worry. This test is simple and painless. Your father just needs to lie on the CT scan table and the machine will take a picture of his brain. The results will help us plan our next steps in treatment."

Yati believes in what the doctor has to do, because it is all for the health and safety of her father.

"Alright, Doctor. After the test is over, what will be done next?" ask her later, in order to prepare.

"After we analyze the test results, we will design a specific therapy plan for Mr. Wasito. This will include physical, occupational, and logopedic therapies to help restore mobility, daily activities, as well as better speech and swallowing skills."

It turns out that not only there if the test results are analyzed, the doctor will continue to design a treatment plan that includes physical therapy, occupational, and logopedics.

Physical therapy will help restore muscle strength and mobility Mr. Wasito.

Occupational therapy aims to help her return to her daily activities more independently. Meanwhile, logopedic therapy will help restore speech and swallowing skills.

"How can we help in the care of my father, that?" tanyanya enthusiastic.

"You, as a family, certainly play an important role in the recovery of your father, Ms. Yati. You can support her by providing moral support, assisting in therapy sessions, as well as making sure she takes her medications on schedule. We will also provide further guidance on lifestyle changes that may need to be made to reduce the risk of a stroke."

With further explanation, Yati can better understand what can be done at home.

"Thank you, Doctor Rahayu. I, ready to work together to help my father, recover."

"Together, Ms. Yati. We will work as a team to help Mr Wasito return to a healthy life. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at any time."

Mr Wasito will be given medicines to control blood pressure, prevent excessive blood clotting, and address other risk factors that can trigger a stroke.

During this process, the family and medical team worked together to help Mr Wasito recover physically and mentally after having a stroke.

"But, Doctor Rahayu. I want to know more about how I can help my father get the best health possible, even though it can't be like the time he was healthy and young."

The doctor smiled faintly, hearing the questions asked by his patient's son.

"Of course, Ms. Yati. But for a full recovery is impossible. However, we will try our best to help Mr. Wasito achieve his better health. One important aspect is to maintain a healthy diet and set a proper diet."

Explanation from Dr. Rahayu, more detailed than the previous described.

This makes Yati want to ask again so as not to misstep in the care of her father, if not in the hospital with doctor control that will always be there.

"How do I plan a good diet for my dad?"

"We'll point you to a dietitian who will help you design the right diet plan, taking into account your nutritional needs and any restrictions that may exist as a result of your father's condition. Foods that are rich in fiber, vegetables, fruits, and low in saturated fat are essential."

Although his father's current diet goals are different from his diet in the past, at least he knows how to process good and correct food for the father's healthy diet.

"What else can I do?" ask again, do not want to lose this good opportunity

"In addition to diet, it is important to ensure that your father undergoes physical, occupational, and logopedic therapy consistently. You can help her by accompanying her in therapy sessions, giving encouragement, and documenting the progress she has made."

Yati nodded. This was his main goal to come to Jakarta, so that his father could get better care.

"What if my father gets frustrated with slow progress?" tanyanya's worried.

Patiently, Doctor Rahayu smiled and gave an answer to the question Yati had asked her.

"Progress in recovery can vary, and frustration does occur frequently. You can help your father by providing emotional support, reminding him of the small achievements he has achieved, and helping in his spirit."

"That makes sense. Are there other lifestyle changes that can be considered?"

"Of course, maintaining overall health is also important. Encourage your father to maintain a regular sleep routine, avoid excessive stress, and reduce other risk factors such as smoking and alcohol consumption."

Hearing that, Yati immediately shook her head a few times. This is because Mr. Wasito has not smoked and consumed alcohol for a long time.

Or could this be the result of his past, which is not much different from the dark life of Yati?

"Thank you very much, Doctor Rahayu. I will work hard to help my father regain his health."

"Together, Ms. Yati. We will always be here to support you and your father in the treatment process. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions."

***

Yati stepped out of the hospital after dropping off her father. He left his father need to be the same as Nina's mother, because he has some business going out.

In the parking lot, he accidentally meets with Rina, his former co-worker who has first come out of Mr. Akihiko's circle.

They looked at each other, stunned for a moment to remember each other then both smiled and shook hands.

"Hey, you're Rina? Long time no see. You look so bright!" sapa Yati, when remembered by the name of his friend.

Rina, smiled widely after Yati recognized her.

"Mis Yeti, it's you Mis Yeti! That's right, haven't seen each other in a long time. I'm new to the hospital, I have family business to do."

Yati looked with wondering eyes. He wanted to know because Rina said so.

"Family business? What's going on?" ask her then so that Rina would give a more explanation.

Lina smiled shyly. "My, I've been married twice, Mis Yeti. My husband and I decided to have a wedding a few months ago."

Yati was surprised to hear Rina's explanation just now. She knows if Rina quit Mr. Akihiko for getting married. But that was more than seven years ago.

"What, just married? Not that time ..."

The sentence Yati hangs. The woman did not continue when she saw how the sad face of Rina had turned.

"What's up, Rina?" tanya Yati was curious about her friend's story.

"I-ni .. This is no fun. A-ku .. This has something to do with Mr. Akihiko."

The deg!
