As the 10th anniversary celebration of the “Australian Chinese Russian Friendship Association Inc” and the “Multicultural Seniors Association Inc” ended successfully on September 10. An accidental fall the following day caused President Ge to have difficulty walking. She suffers from cartilage abrasions in both hip joints. Her son immediately contacted a specialist to perform a comprehensive examination for her. It is important to come up with a plan for surgery as soon as possible.
President Ge underwent the double hip bone transplant on October 26th at the Prince of Wales Private Hospital under the supervision of the renowned specialist Dr Solomon. It was a very successful operation. A six-day hospital stay followed. She was admired by the doctors and nurses during her recovery period in the hospital. The second day of the double hip bone transplant surgery. She started getting up and exercising. You can imagine how much courage and perseverance it took. A true role model, she is a strong leader.
President Ge was transferred to Braeside Hospital for rehabilitation on November 1. She did the exercise at the rehabilitation centre according to standards without compromising. She was often praised by doctors and nurses in the rehabilitation centre. She was approved to go home for rehabilitation on November 11.
Recently, friends, members and volunteers from the Associations who were very concerned about her recent health condition. With everyone’s concern, I made a special trip to visit President Ge at the weekend. As soon as you enter the door you can see President Ge’s mental state is very good. She can walk without a stick at home but still needs to use crutches to protect and support her body when she’s doing physical exercise. It is amazing that she has achieved this kind of recovery after just four weeks of surgery. She is really a strong woman who does not give up in the face of illness. A beautiful, kind and strong woman who blossomed like a flower in my heart.
Now I wish you all peace! In the end, President Ge would like to express her heartfelt thanks to all those who have helped her and to her friends and family who care about her.
