My Modern Mother's

Checking for disease

"Ofus.. We don't have bread and milk, how about this?" muttered Eun-Kyun, her refrigerator was completely devoid of bread and milk for breakfast, She also forgot to buy cereal yesterday while shopping.

"Hyun-ah" call Eun-Kyun.

Do-Hyun who had been up since a few minutes ago looked at her mother from a little distance away. He was sitting at the dinner table waiting for breakfast this morning

"Ne?" his reply.

"We forgot to buy bread, milk, cereal and juice yesterday. We don't have it, want another breakfast?" haggard Eun-Kyun.

Do-Hyun nodded, "He'em....

We can buy it later."

"Oh, you're right." Eun-Kyun's.

"Then, what breakfast do you want?"

His little brain thought for a moment, "scrambled eggs, and rice?"

"All right, wait a minute. Eomma make it for you."

His hand went into the refrigerator, took out a box of eggs, then took out 3 cups of rice. Deftly, the young mother had washed the rice, then put it in the Rice cooker after measuring the right water.

Since there can't be just rice and eggs, Eun-Kyun picks up potatoes, carrots, seaweed and pork that she bought yesterday.

Take a knife and start cutting pork with a smaller size, wash it and start cooking, do not forget the carrots and potatoes cleaned diced.

This morning, there will be pork soup, scrambled eggs and rice for breakfast.

30 Minutes passed, and everything was ready. The mother and son began to finish his breakfast, there was still soup left and stayed heated for lunch only.

"Hyun-ah, we're going to the hospital for a bit. Eomma has to check-up today, so finish eating you can take a shower right away, yeah." Eun-Kyun's.

'The hospital? Did Eomma's disease recur?' He recalled that if last night it seemed like his mother's illness had returned, what now? That must have been very painful, though,

"Ne, Eomma."

After finishing the warm water in his glass, Do-Hyun walks towards the bathroom by himself.

Although he was young, but he had started to be independent, this little boy brought some toys into the water.

Because it's a little cold in the morning, Eun-Kyun measures the temperature of the water with her hands and lets Do-Hyun play with the water alone inside while she cleans the dishes and glasses they used just now.

Because the dirty dishes are not much, this job is completed in just a few minutes. Eun-Kyun again helps her son take a bath, after which she puts clothes on this little boy.

Eun-Kyun lets her son do what she likes, while she goes and cleans up her own body.

They left after 40 minutes later, booked a taxi and went to the hospital.

.............

Eun-Kyun performs an initial examination after which the doctor takes her to the room Radiology Ultrasound (ultrasound)

and for further examination.

^^^[**USG (ultrasound): Abnormalities in the heart and blood vessels such as Heart disease, heart failure, heart muscle disorders, heart valve disease.**]^^^

While Do-Hyun is entrusted with the child's room. There are several nurses who care for patients (children) who have mild disease (fever and others) or severe (tumors, cancer, etc.).

The doctor brought him back to work to explain further (consultation) with his patient.

"You certainly know if the heart is a muscle divided into four chambers. Two chambers are located at the top, the right and left atrium (foyer). While two more chambers are located at the bottom, namely the right and left ventricles (chambers). Between the right and left chambers, there is a muscular wall (septum) that prevents oxygen-rich blood from mixing with oxygen-poor blood.

While we found out, you're a sufferer-"

"Coronor's heart, I know" Eun-Kyun cuts.

"Have you done a check before?" ask Doctor.

Eun-Kyun nodded, "Ne."

"Can I request your previous check-up letter?" ask Doctor.

"Sorry, Doc. I did not bring it, you also will not understand the writing because I did an examination while working in Indonesia, so of course use Indonesian as well" Eun-Kyun explained.

"It's okay, Madam. We can translate it into Hangul, you don't have to worry" said the doctor. Of course he also has to see the examination history of his patients.

"Good, Doc. I'll bring him back in the future" Eun-Kyun replies.

"May I continue, Madam?" asked the doctor because his speech was cut by the woman in front of him.

"Ah, sorry.. Please, Doc." reply Eun-Kyun

The doctor said, "What you suffer is Angina Pectoris.

"So, what should I do, Doc?"

"You have enough rest, do not get tired and have a healthy lifestyle. I will also give you a prescription medication, so you can take it further.

And again, it would be nice if you do conservative therapy. I'll take action if your health gets worse, we might...." The doctor explained a few more things about his illness.

After a few minutes later, Eun-Kyun gets out of there, then goes to the pharmacy and takes the medicine.

When he finished handing over the prescription medicine, Eun-Kyun waited for a while on the prepared bench.

It was seen a man accompanying a woman, who seemed to be a young couple. They also go to the dispensary, her husband hands over the doctor's prescription while his wife sits briefly on the bench that is behind Eun-Kyun.

Afraid of making her son wait too long, Eun-Kyun sends her voice messages.

"Hyun-ah, wait for Eomma well. In a moment, just need to take the medicine"

"Good, Eomma. I'm waiting here," Do-Hyun replies with a voicemail as well.

Eun-Kyun calms down a bit, and returns to texting with her son.

Due to his bow, Eun-Kyun does not see the people around him, but still hears the words of some people there.

"Please baby, you're innocent. We can have another baby." said the husband who came after Eun-Kyun.

"But.... I don't want to lose another baby, hopefully I can get pregnant quickly after taking these drugs" replied the wife. It looks like she had a miscarriage some time ago.

"Well, yeah.. I'm not forcing you... We're young too, having kids in our 30s doesn't matter. I look forward to the baby from you" said her husband soothingly.

Eun-Kyun who heard their conversation just smiled. Some pairs may be very impatient to have children like them, there are also those who cannot have children with their partners.

Then what about her?

At her age, she has children without a husband. This is even better because no one forbids him from doing something or some things that he does not like.

Eun-Kyun is still busy with her thoughts but is made aware of the pharmacist who called her name.

"Mrs Park Eun-Kyun.. Miss Park Eun-Kyun." call her.

"Ne," Eun-Kyun replies, she immediately steps out of place. Approaching and then taking the drug, the pharmacist also still explains about the use of the drug.

"Gamsahabnida" said Eun-Kyun then stepped away, he also put the medicine into the bag he was carrying.

Unbeknownst to him, the man accompanying his wife was stiffening in her place. His eyes keep glued to Eun-Kyun who is away.

"Darling, I went to the toilet for a while" he told his wife.

The woman nodded, she let her husband go. Her eyes wanted to trace where her husband had gone, but her name had been called. He immediately took the medicines and listened to the pharmacist explain things as before.

While Eun-Kyun goes to the children's room, it is a room with some small games.

Inside there are 4 children who are playing accompanied by nurses wearing PPE clothes, one of which is Do-Hyun.

"Hyun-ah," call Eun-Kyun.

Do-Hyun who is playing rubik immediately looks up, looking at her finished mother.

Without answering, he immediately approached his mother, there was a nurse who also followed Do-Hyun, he who accompanied Do-Hyun earlier.

"You done?" ask the nurse.

"Yes, already.. Thank you for taking care of my son, sorry for troubling you" Eun-Kyun said

"What's wrong, I just accompanied him to play. Your son is a very smart boy, he doesn't even cry or be naughty." he told Do-Hyun. Fortunately they cannot come into direct contact with the children, otherwise Do-Hyun's cheeks would have been flushed.

"All right, then we'll go.

Come on Do-Hyun, say thank you to the nurse, "Eun-Kyun said.

Do-Hyun understood, he bowed for a moment. "Gamsahabnida, beautiful sister." praise Do-Hyun.

The nurse's face flushed red behind her mask, she blushed because Do-Hyun praised her.

"Well, your mouth is so sweet, thank you well "reply with ease.

Do-Hyun and Eun-Kyun immediately leave the room.

Eun-Kyun stops her steps for a moment, she looks back but finds no one.

'Who has been following me since?' his inner.

Not caring about the stalker, he immediately left the hospital in a taxi that was about to pass. Only then, there the stalker did nothing more.
