day 162 of 365 | the life of Joanna Marie


i went to Helsinki yesterday with daddy. he had an appointment with one specialist about his arm problem. he has been going back and forth to the hospital here, but they couldn't find out what's really wrong with his arm or where the problem really is.

his physical therapist recommended one specialist, the one that he met yesterday. he was happy that he was able to talk to an expert about it. after some tests, the specialist told him that he has TOS, thoracic outlet syndrome. the good news is, the specialist thinks, it can still be treated with physical therapy. i'm so happy to know that he doesn't have to undergo the risky surgery. actually, the doctor here in the local hospital already put him in the waiting list for the operation. it could take 2 months or more before he can get a slot for the operation. but now, since the specialist doesn't recommend surgery for him, daddy needs to call to the hospital so they can crash him out from the waiting list.

after meeting with the specialist, we walked some blocks around the Bulevard side of Helsinki. it was my first time to be in that area. it was nice, i like it there! there were some cute cafes and ceramic shops. 

we found an Italian restaurant. when we got in, we were greeted by a golden retriever. he was so well-behaved and i can't help but call him 'babba' 😁 he goes from one table to another greeting customers or maybe asking for food. hehehe

i ordered lasagne bolognese. daddy wanted it too, but he was sure that they use garlic in it. so, he ordered some ham and cheese sandwich. on the first bite, he realized that they use garlic bread for the sandwich 😅

it was nice to spend some time with daddy. we haven't had much time together, i mean just the two of us, for a while. 

sometimes, i need to call his attention that i'm here! spend time with me, too! 😄
