Yeay! My Dad walks again!!

Salam to all.. as most of you acknowledge, my dad lost his left leg last October 2008 due to a disease called Thrombosis.

Thrombosis occurs with the formation of a blood clot inside the blood vessel, obstructing the flow of the blood through the circulatory system. When a blood vessel is injured, the body requires the platelets and fibrin to form a blood clot in order to prevent losses of blood. However, if there is too much blood clotting formed, the clot breaks free and an embolus is formed. When thrombus occupies >75% of surface area of the lumen of an artery, blood flow to the tissue supplied is reduced enough to cause symptoms because of decreased oxygen and accumulation of metabolic products such as lactic acid. >90% of obstruction may lead to inoxia, the complete if deprivation of oxygen and infarction, a mode of cell death.

Basically this is what happen to my dad’s left leg. So, doctor decided to amputate his leg to avoid infections to other parts of his body.

Alhamdullillah…last saturday, abang, mamak n haezel together with bapak went to somewhere around Ampang to test the artificial leg which have been made for bapak. Actually upon agreement, it only takes about 2weeks to produce the artificial leg. But due to financial problem, we have to delay it. Anyways, bapak seems excited to try it on and making his 1st step. hehehe…

Abang kata:

Proses pemasangan pertama mengalami sedikit kesulitan di sebbkn saiz ‘cup’ utk kaki yg agak kurang selesa utk bapak…and one of the reason that ktorg di mintak dtg ke opis dorg adalah utk memudahkn customization di lakukan on the spot. dlm 30min tunggu dorg alter cup tu…kaki palsu bapak dpt di pasang and apa lagi, bapak disuruh utk membuat cubaan berjalan setelah di beri instruction oleh instructor kat tmpt tu. Overall, it was a successful session. Bapak dpt berjalan and nampak cam comfortable with it..tp cam biasa lah, all new things perlu masa utk getting use to.. so bapak akan menjalani few more session di tmpt tu b4 dibenarkn bawak balik kaki and practice di rumah.

Huhu..yeay! Bapak dah bley jalan. COngrats to him! He must be damn excited and happy walaupun die tak ckp kat ktorg. =p Below are some shots during the practicing session …

Daaaaa~~~
