More back problems


My househelp lady called this morning to let me know she isn't coming today. So all those dishes that have been piling up, waiting for her, will have to be done by someone.

From what I understood from Bimla (househelp), she got electrocuted from the cooler somehow. The shock knocked her backwards and she hurt her back. Sounds bad. I think she also said she is burned on one side of her body. Talking Hindi on the phone is hard for me. I think I need hand motions to understand more.

I really can relate to the back pain now and understand she needs rest. I can't imagine doing all the work she does, with a hurt back. I don't even think I could squat to use the toilet like she has to. I hope she gets the rest she needs.
