home ceragem teraphy

phew, haven't posted for awhile, it had been a very busy period for me in trying to get my cafe off the ground. nevertheless, the ceragem teraphy is ongoing, 2 months short of 1 year so far, i have also included a twice weekly massage session, by a reliable madura masseur, no jampi or mandi bunga or limau, just a 2 hour session of straightforward massage. feels great and have some miniscule progress to show, alhamdulillah.

last night, i had a most satisfying massage session, no, no!!! not the hanky-panky type and neither the MELAYU Type with the mandi limau or bunga, just a straightforward pressing of the flesh, a 2 hour session that is overdue. this morning walking teraphy was good and i was on the sofa in the cafe by 6.52am.where normally it was past 7.00a.m. before i park m butt there. alhamdulillah, things are looking up.so now my recovery programme consists of :-

a. 3 40 minutes ceragem teraphy session a day.
b. supplements of vitamins b, c and cardipirin.
c. early morning walking teraphy of around 30minutes.
d. regular sleep at night and afternoon siesta of around 1 hour.
e. good food, mainly fish.
f. keep mind busy from 9am to 5pm and 3am to 6am.
g. twice massage sessions per week.
h. constant and regular supplications to allah for he is the almighty

home ceragem theraphy - plodding on

alhamdulillah, a major improvement today, i just have to be vigilant and careful as there are times when the next step taken leads to a total collapse of the structural integrity of my leg resulting in crumbling ala ragdoll.alhamdulillah, todate, there has been no serious injury. but cannot take any more chances in future.

money, money, money

no money in epf,in pnb, in sime darby.no income tax to pay. man, i am soooooooooo happy

home ceragem theraphy - almost there

early yesterday evening,alhamdulillah, i did a very enjoyable amble to my youngest sons room, man, it felt like before and typically i expected a lot this morning. unfortunately, a more than generous morning downpour dampened my ebullience.later on, walking around in the house has now resulted in very uncomfortable tense muscles. something is brewing, now at the muscles in midbody, so onward i shall plod on.inshaalaah, some incremental improvement should be forthcoming.

home ceragem theraphy - plodding on

i haven't posted for a while as i have been busy starting a new business and now have an office at home. i am going to go into the logistics business primarily offering services to sme/smi where i feel there is a huge vacuum. inshaallah, we should be up and running by feb.2011. in the meantime , my walking and ceragem teraphy is proceeding per normal and there was an incremental improvement today when my rump starts to twitch. the same sort of twitching that started at the foot around 2 years ago. interestingly there is a lot more feel of the muscles at my shoulder blade. so onwards i shall plod on.

home ceragem theraphy - plodding on

at the beginning of my walking teraphy today, at the porch, i crumbled like a rag. alhamdulillah, i just fell onto the concrete pavement and thankfully did not strike any blunt object. i got up, proceeded to walk again and then around twenty feet past the inner gate, i wobbled but managed to maintain my upright posture, then i continued the walking teraphy till the cafe, alhamdulillah. so, it could still be a long way. but, onward i shall plod on.this is much more interesting than just lying down, like this afternoon. generally, alhamdulillah, i am still alive

would it not be better to implement solar energy in 100,000/- homes at rm 5,000/- per house, immediately creating a new industry, helping the poor with their energy bills, and nudging green technology implementation a dash of speed????
oh forgot, no fat commission then for the powers that be.

2 cents cheque

have you heard about the budding usahawan bumiputra from chemor who approached a property seller and claiming to represent an interested buyer, a datuk. so the seller told him that if the datuk was serious then he should come out with a cheque for the first 2 percent deposit. so , the next day, the agent went to see the seller and gave a cheque, albeit a 2 cents cheque. ha, ha , has, ha,, ha,, ha,ha

home ceragem theraphy - plodding on

regretfully, yesterdays straining of the muscle did not result in anything extraneous, just normal conditioning of the muscles. so, walking on nevertheless.

home ceragem theraphy - plodding on

alhamdulillah, my ceragem and walking teraphy proceeding as planned. major activity currently in the muscles at the upper thigh, it's been straining since lunchtime. could it lead to a more improved walking tomorrow, inshaallah, i certainly hopes so as i have never before felt this kind of strain of these muscles before.

mind and body

in the early days of my walking teraphy , taking each step was a tremendous exertion, my body was telling my mind that taking that step could mean falling or stumbling. so what i do now is that i empower the mind to command the body, where taking the next step is difficult i command my mind to in turn command my body to make that step. mercifully, alhamdulillah, to date, there hasn't been any falls with serious repercussions, although there has been one or two falls wherein i have managed to immediately get up and resume my walking teraphy. i do believe that this training regime is strengthening my mind and not allowing my body to be in charge , like the time when i was in the royal military college. there, cross-country running was a torture for me, where others breeze through it, i was continually being left behind, this because i let my body dictate to my mind that i cannot continue with that run any further, alhamdulillah, this is another hikmah of my stroke. i am not there yet with the walking, but inshaallah, daily walking teraphy for the next 12 months plus ceragem and all the other regime should render my walking more to what it was before,after all, a baby takes a while to walk, what with this old abused body of mine.
so, onward we shall plod

home ceragem theraphy - plodding on

plodding on, this morning walk was tough, however i can feel the spring at the joint between the foot and the lower tibia, inshaallah it is now a matter of conditioning the muscles and ligaments and tendons.

home ceragem theraphy - plodding on

alhamdulillah, yesterday, i did the walk again, it may not be 500m but 500 feet, thats still quite a distance considering that a few years ago just talking 3 steps in succession was a monumental effort on my part . inshaallah, i will attempt it again today, the 30th day of fasting with the objective to reduce and iron out any grasping of tree branches and hesitation in taking the next step.
