this is such an exhausting day. i dont know why i feel so used up even though we only did some assessments and chores with minimal use of energy. and to think, we only used our butt to sit in our respective jeepneys to go to our respective house assignments.
but thinking of the situation of the familty assigned to us, conscience lingered my mind. i should fight for this (fight for sleepiness so that i could finish this requirement ) because with the current status of my client, they still strive inspite of the deprivation of their needs.
at first, i was hesitant to take the family assigned to us because you need first to do some balancing skills before you could into their house. but since, none of my groupmates volunteered, paolo and i agreed to take the challenge. thanks God! neither of us slipped on a muddy field.
arriving safe, we then build rapport to our client by greeting them and introducing ourselves. our assessment wen smoothly since nang cathereine (only an alias) cooperated with us. the only problem i noticed with myself is how i approach and question nang cath. sometimes, i run out of words, sometimes i dont know how to ask questions that are something personal. i find it also difficult translating some scientific orr english words to hiligaynon. but as we converse longer, the feeling of awkwardness gradually vanished. after the assessment, we did dome chores like washing the dishes, folding the clothes, and sweeping the floor. through that, we had the opportunity to observe their sanitary practices and way of living. and one major problem i identified is their poor environmental condition. there could also be some risks for accidents because of the slippery path.
***whoops! it seems that my eyelids cant stand and resist anymore the pull of gravity. they're starting to give up. they'll just sleep and rest now and just wait for tomorrow's bell so that they could wake up and continue the challenge in community health nursing. let me just end this with a realization: i thank GOD because He gave me a good conditioned house or rather home with a caring and supportive family on it despite the many problems i am facing now. zZzZZz (this is not a bee's sound) -.-
