Back-to-School-Lifelong learning-A gateway for a healthier & enriching life-journey ~ 16th September 2016
Dear Job & Sri of NKF PA&R department, good morning friends! I truly appreciate with much thanks for your initiative & kindness to invite me for a very friendly & relaxing with warmest chatting at your office yesterday. As a hearing impair person as well as NKF patient I am honestly being too slow in picking up things or stuffs especially I have to put great effort to concentrate & read people lips' services & body languages even with hearing aids on as my hearing sense or organ totally deaf without them. This is my weakest point of all & that is why people always misunderstand me at times during normal face to face conversation due to my invisible illness of being disadvantage that quite often people around me may simply take things for granted in the fast lane of our common express-way in our daily living lives today! So sorry if I missed out some our mutual to & fro conversation, if any then! I am very impressed with interest at about the class-room shown by Mr. Sri in your department by the way. I thought this is the spot I had been looking for which is also accompanying with a readily dialysis centre next door for a fresh or new recruitment NKF patients, either for familiarization purpose or training purpose which may also inclusive those having early chronic kidney disease patients meaning before their kidney totally failure in order to start up or begin with in their respective long term educational culture &value which I had dearly missed out for the past 20 months in NKF as well as earlier stages of my Chronic Kidney Disease CKD during my earlier stage of caregiver by SGH for nearly over 10 years simply not knowing about my level of creatinine etc officially until 2014 which was a great shock to my family & I though this is history already. As I said yesterday that there was simply a gap between the earlier renal doctor at SGH & the patient like my case as I had long given my body to medical research ever since my family & I landed Singapore over 20 years ago. I did not even know about there is 5 stages of kidney malfunctioning or failure procedures to take health-care of or with. I won't like to repeat similar way or path in NKF system again of course in different mannerism as per my arm AV Graft experience &condition lately as I am going for balloon & or angioplasty at SGH on 22nd Nov next week. I am impressed that you have actually begun your program at the central zone with those 2 new less than a year patients Mr Sam & the other friend that I met yesterday perhaps plus a few more according to them. I consider this is a fruitful visit to your Patient Advocacy & Rehabilitation Department in fact. Please kindly be informed that I had also since then requested our Yishun DC1 nurse manager Minimol & our North Zone patient advocate leader Ms Rena Goh to make sure to enroll me & remind me any training talk, lecture or course provided by NKF since beginning of this year. To be frank, I am already slow in learning due to my personal hearing impair &now it is yet again slower for me as a NKF patient to catch up what I had left behind! Please let me know if you need some kind of personal requirement to qualify for enrollment if any or necessary. It is better late than never, dearest friends! As such I am serious enough to really looking forward to go back to the school once again! Should you organize any training or gathering for any sort of class room talk anytime either for half a day or so be it in your site or nearby Yishun DC3 please kindly e-mail me accordingly. I will try my very best to attend if I have no earlier appointment. Thank you once again! With best regards always, David Leong.
