.....Beautiful Scar.....


Yes! I'm so very proud of mine. After all, Dr Mohamed Izzad has complimented me by saying that my scar is  'cantik'. Gracias, Doc! Grateful thanks are also in order for my beloved surgeon, Dr Hew Tze Yin.

.....Nostalgia.....

'Discovered' a long-lost pal from the late '80s - early 90s, virtually.....but 'personal contact' is definitely out of the question.....I will continue to remain a 'recluse' that I have become.....Yeah!

.....Jottings # 2.....




The 30 day countdown to July 16 2013 has begun. I'm fervently hoping that everything will be going on smoothly for me, and that what entails after that, would be good and not be too shocking. So, HMA!

Syukur Alhamdulillah, I'll be turning four pretty soon.....on Wednesday, 26.06.2013, to be exact. I feel truly blessed to be given this 'test' by Allah SWT.....and to date, I've survived pretty well. In the deepest chasm of my heart, I'm hoping that this state of affairs, healthwise that is, will be persisting for more years to come, InsyaAllah. 

Just for the record, most times, I do feel like I'm 'fighting a lonely battle'.....all by myself! No one (save for the late TL and my Oz sibling) seems to be bothered with my predicament. Those 'beings', who're 'supposed to be closest' to me, hardly show or voice out their care and concern. Just because my 'malady is invisible' and the fact that I'm still 'up and about', they take it to mean that I'm okay! Oh God! If only they knew, and understand and realized the seriousness of what it is that I'm afflicted with. What if they were in my shoes? How would they be feeling and reacting then?

Every trip that I make to attend my reviews, will be 'laced with tears'. It's really sad to be all alone, and everytime I see other people being accompanied by their loved ones, I can literally feel the 'sharp stab of excruciating pain in my heart'. Poor lonesome me! SIGH! BUT despite everything, I always console myself by saying that I SHOULD continue walking with HOPE in my heart and that I'm really NOT alone actually. Syukur Alhamdulillah.....Ameen.....

.....Jottings # 1.....





Well, life goes on for me, with the usual 'bumps' along the way. Our Getaway to the Metropolis from Friday, 31.05.2013 till Sunday, 02.06.2013 was quite okay, despite the fact that the usual hiccups, did make themselves felt. But then, what else is new, eh?

Healthwise, I was bugged with the Big V on 5th June. Out of the blue, I felt the usual dizziness, accompanied by the endless yawning, plus the flatulence, the stiff and extremely sore shoulders and neck and to top it all, the 'knotty veins sensation' at the back of my head. Huge amounts of Axe Medicated Oil were slathered on my tummy, neck and shoulders and my head was massaged gently but thoroughly. I also applied Wutongku patches on my sore shoulders. All these I had to do by myself. Poor me! I really am suffering alone and in silence, as it has always been. Sigh! (^_^,)..... Luckily, the Big V subsided by the next morning, but the Wutongku patches remained intact for the next few days.


On 6th June, saw Dr H for my monthly checkup. My BP reading was 140/90. Besides getting the usual Amlodipine tablets, I took the liberty to request for medications for my dizziness and sore shoulders and neck.


On 11th June, I fulfilled my appointment with the Anaesthetist at HSI. I underwent some tests and the results came out a-okay. Dr Sean said that my surgery on 16th July can proceed as scheduled. Syukur Alhamdulillah. Yeah, Dr Sean also reminded me to reduce my sugar consumption and also to avoid unnecessary stress and tension. Hah! Fat hopes where the latter is concerned.


Other matters that have been bugging me no end are 'Lot No 1028 related'. I'm damned sick of the whole thing. When will the specimens over there ever stop bothering me????? They're all B.S's of the first degree!!!!! That's what they are!!!!!
