The doctor has taken off the bandage. Everything’s fine. My mom’s sight improves, now that the cataracts have been removed. Her 5% sight is now normal.

I am happy for her. At least now she can enjoy watching her favourite mandarin series more. More colourful and brighter.

I, my mom and my dad departed at 7 o’clock and it took us only 30 minutes to reach the hospital. After registration, we waited until 9 o’clock before heading to the operating room. After changing her clothes, my mom got into the operating room and you know what? She still had to wait inside laying on a cold bed for an hour before the cataract in her right eye removed. At 11 o’clock, the cataract surgery was done and we went home after settling the payment. I forgot to mention that my brother was there too.

My mom looks ok. Wait till the bandage removed tomorrow.

My mom is having a cataract surgery tomorrow morning at 7.30 at Graha Medika hospital. Dr Supit is going to perform the simple surgery to remove the cloudy lens from her eyes and implanting artificial lens, I guess.

This morning, we was there seeing the doctor. He prescribed several medicines including an antibiotic and a pain killer together with a bottle of eyes drop.

Tomorrow morning I will accompany her all the way until the surgery is done. Will go to work afterwards. In fact, my mom feels uneasy with the surgery. She worries too much. It’s us who push her. She has problems with her heart and is not allowed to do physical activities too much so I hope with better eyesight, she can enjoy watching TV more. Good luck…

Citibank is holding another seminar titled ‘Mutual Fund & Market Outlook’ with a speaker from Citigroup Asset Management, Frederik Wattimena. Last time, it was Michael Tjoajadi from Schroder with more or less the same topic, mutual fund. They are trying to sell their products and of course, bank customers are their best target.

Mutual fund is less interesting today compared with a year ago except probably for equity fund. Bank interest rate is getting higher and higher, making fixed-income funds which are based on government’s bonds totally uninteresting. Why? Because the yield is the same or even lesser.

Now you can start to worry. Inflation rate is not getting lower and secured investment is giving less return. Try equity fund or even jump into stock market directly? If you can stand the risk and you have enough skills and information, it is worth trying. Good luck…
