PonyTales

I got the gall bladder removed last Friday. It was a quick decision as I had the pain attack again in office on Wednesday morning. My colleagues were concerned and advise me to get rid of the pain once and for all, rather than suffering the pain weekly. I called my doctor and she said the same thing. So, I found myself on the hospital bed again on Thursday evening. The hospital wall fully occupied and no room for me earlier…"Can u imagine that!?" - Hospital are like 5 star resorts nowadays, if u wanna stay there, u gotta book early or wait for the room to be available, unless u r in very critical condition, then go to ER.

Anyway, I see it as a blessing for not checking-in so early, there will be mushrooms growing all over my head as it is so bored to stay in hospital - moreover my worries and anxiety will shoot up higher than the twin towers just by sitting there waiting for the surgeon to cut me open.
It was a coincidence that Thursday was J-Card day, so as usual, I landed there for some "retail therapy" before the 1st surgery in my life…hehehe

How was the surgery like? Well, it felt like I have been stabbed 4 times at diferent location of my abdomen after the anesthetics wear off. But, I was given pain killer - so it was bearable. Still, nothing beats the pain of child labour

The only time I felt very uncomfortable was when the anestheticians administer the anesthetics into me intravenously. He is not a friendly doctor and just cannot wait to get the job done (He did not even introduce himself and I don’t even know his name). I can clearly see the 4 big tube of shringes he pushed into my veins with force - and when the last tube of some white substance is pushed into me, my whole hand felt very pain and cold and then I just pass out. When I woke up, I was still feeling very giddy but I can see that I was lying on my bed outside of the operating theatre. I felt very very uncomfortable for a while and the nurse attending to me kept asking me, "Where pain?" But, I just fall back to sleep shortly after cause I felt so so weak.

When I woke up again several hours later, I was already in the ward and I felt better already. Only during evening time I managed to got up from the bed and went to the toilet and see for myself the 4 holes. All were stitch up already and covered with plaster. For the next 2 days, I walked like an old lady with a bad back problem.

Today I am ok already! Yeahhhh….

I want to take this opportunity to thank all the people who have been praying for me and also my mom who loan me a maid last minute to take care of me, household chores and Zoe. The surgeon advise me not to carry Zoe too much as it might hurt the wounds. But, I still carry her laa, gently lor…

After this episode, I pray that I would not need to have anymore hospital stay for ever and ever…Amen

 Huu…Huu….

I am not well cause recently been diagnosed that I have gall bladder stone.

Actually, I have been suffering from regular abdominal and back pain since mid February. At first, I thot it is just some minor back pain caused by carrying Zoe too much. Later, it developed into abdominal pain and I thot I had gastric or maybe lactose intolerant cause I had all the similar symptoms. I have been to the GP for so many times, almost every week, told them all my symtoms and even did a full body check and none of them able to tell me my real problem and just gave me some gastic medication.

Last Friday, I had the pain attack again in office and I decided to go to the hospital straight to seek the help from a specialist. She examined me and told me to stay overnight at the hospital cause she said I don’t looked like I am suffering from normal gastric. She said, "You can’t even sit or walk straight! I am sending you for an X-Ray, Ultrasound scan and you have to be admitted today for an endoscopy tomorrow. It is better to get to the bottom of the problem".

Later, when she gather the full results, she came back, "How come you did a full body check and your GP did not tell you your xyz reading is so high, you got gall bladder stone! I advise that you get schedule for a minor surgery to remove it soon". I am really stoned!!!

I will be seeing the doctor again in 2 weeks time. At the moment, she has given me some medications and antibiotics to take. The antibiotics is causing rashes on my back…haihhhhh

I am also moving house end of this month…double sighhhh…so much to do…

Really pray that I will sail through this storm…

I know Simon purposely tagged me this one!

Hmmph! I tell you, it will only be a couple of months more with my angel at home before she is ready to fly with Daddy and Mommy. I am slowly training her to be as adventurous as us. So far, she is doing well for a 3 month old - can sleep thru in an air-conditioned room on a cold rainy night . All the travel fairs (Matta, Mas…etc)! Watch out for our returns!

I also wanna go to Disneyland - to fulfill my childhood dream and with Zoe, it will definitely be magical and great fun!

M-i-c-k-e-y… M-o-u-s-e…

My choice will either be Disney World or Tokyo Disneyland. But, I prefer Disney World cause we cannot read and write Japanese, so it will be a really "buta huruf" trip for us if we go Tokyo Disneyland.

Actually, we got a voucher not long ago that offer us 8 nights free stay in US. One of the choice of stay is in Disney World - but we gotta let go as we were anticipating Zoe’s arrival. I told myself its ok, it is much more fun when Zoe can see for herself the magical kingdom of Disney.

Simply Magical!

Yes! Yes! Yes! I finally went for spa on Saturday. Long overdue Birthday and Valentine’s gift from hubby (was in confinement that time). It really feels GREAT to be pampered again…ahhh…I wish I can do this every month.

We deposit Zoe with Auntie Sim (Zoe’s nanny) on Sat morning. Thanks to the nanny for willing to take care of Zoe for the day (without charge somemore ), while both of us escape to our little sanctuary at Palace of the Golden Horses.

The Jojobali spa is new there and was located at a nice corner of the resort facing a man made waterfall, which is quite huge and quite impressive. It gave us a feeling that we are far away somewhere on holiday, just like when there were only the two of us .

We booked the treatment by using our credit card privileges (Citibank) and got some really good deals - RM220 for 175 mins treatment for 2 person inclusive of body scrub, aromatherapy massage and eye pillow treatment. I found that the massage works more effectively after the body scrub - really feels refreshing after the scrub and the skin is soooo smooth after that. I can see hubby looks fairer after the scrub too..kekeke…

The massage is nice but it still cannot compete with the Balinese massage I had in Layan Beach Resort, Phuket. The therapist’s skill there is one of the best and I came out feeling really new and refreshed!

I really love spa and now I am wondering when is my next indulgence
