The Operating Table

There have been many queries of what happened to me for the past days based on the status that I left on FB and Twitter …. Sorry about the suspense. For those who knew gave their get well wishes while others were thinking what she has done now… All Qs will be answered now…

I had an operation! Yes again! I always find myself back to the operating table for some reason or other… It's a love hate relationship between me and the operating tables since I was 20 … Frankly, I hate it! Going through an operation is not so much of a hassle but the recuperation after it takes a long time. For a person like me who cannot sit still in is like being chained with a giant iron ball! And all my operation is not small it's always big aka big cuts. Being so much acquainted to the procedures, the general anesthetic doctor says that I am a veteran…LoL…

Well, if many have you recalled that we have been trying for a baby for such a long time…No lah just a mere of 3 years… but it is long for a couple that been pinning for a baby! We gave it a hold for the last 7 months and decided to try again after Raya. This time we thought we give it a shot with a different doctor. I know it is not good to see different doctors for same kind of treatment and checkups. But then we wanted his opinion this particular doctor – Dato Doctor Hamid Arshad and it's our 4^th opinion… Yes we have been around asking :P. Mum has been pestering to go to him as he combines western medicine with Islamic practices.

Going there was just to ask and seek guidance of our situation and see what his take was on us… Well, as God says… One need to work on the things that one wants not just wait for it to fall into our laps…. So we went there…. Such a long wait! Seems many seek his expertise, which I knew as we had to wait for a few months to get to our appointment date!

Our name was called out… it was our turn, I felt my heart racing and thinking to myself what will this doctor say about me/we now… Will it be the same as the others….

My first impression of Dato Doctor Hamid Arshad was - such a petite man especially behind the large wooden table and so fatherly that reminds me of my father-in-law… But he stands out ….really stands out with his vast knowledge and expertise as a gynea doctor. He asked questions, not once giving negative impressions and he listens too! Not jumping to conclusions like some others! He does not even ask for our past medical results from the other clinics. He did a virginal scan on me which did not take long that I did not even feel a thing (no lah I felt something but there was no probing…thank God!) and it was so gentle….

So, the conclusion from the scan… and it is not good….My Endometriosis
is back….No wonder I have been having bad period pains again only it's milder and shorter too! (I though I was on the verge of menopause at one stage!) So, I need to get it done again (cleaned up) before it gets worse…. Sucks big time! So we set the date for the ops – Nov 2^nd…

And there was I, on the 1^st Nov being prepped for the following day ops at Pantai Medical Center KL. Ohh… did I tell you that my boss wasn't too happy about me being hospitalized again… Too bad! As termed by the GA doctor that I am a veteran of such things there is no need for him to explain so much right? Yes but as I get older (me still young okies) going through an operation isn't easy. Many things raced through my mind… especially about death… Good I supposed as it reminds you of Him the Creator… and keeps me praying too….

Since I have problems when I can't bear great pain aka breathing spasms, the doctor prescribed me to 2 drugs to relax me before and after the operation. An awful lot of drugs!. Such a drug junkie I am! LoL :S

Did you know the operating theater (OT) is so damn cold and so bear… not as what we see in TV shows like Grey's Anatomy and others? I hate the coldness…. It is really cold and me only in my operation robe hahahhaa…. but nothing was nice at all about the OT ….It reminds me of the post-mortem rooms that you see in CSI… It is the first time I was wheeled into OT without given GA beforehand…Usually I am 'dead' before entering OT.

Somehow the ordeal was a pleasant one. The doctor did a great job…stitches did not hurt or was it the drugs…. But the most important part is that I did not smell like a dead corpse… I am telling you the truth…. dried blood smells really awful! It smells…. The first time I had this operation, the very next day I forced myself to walk to the bathroom to take a bath! This round no need and the wound have been bounded up nicely…All I needed was to be sponged by my hubby … lap you honey! Hahhaha… Oh I am so having this doctor again and again!

Now I am recuperating and on 40 days leave….hahahhaha 40 days of bliss and pain: P .At mum's now….

Hope that answers all Qs and thank you for all your get well wishes and prayers….

Rasa Geram (Pissed and Dissed)

Yes it is that time again that AirAsia gives free seats.... but some how I always feel disappointed at the end of browsing through the site. Heys, no complaints here on the congestion and all but it is more to the fact of  the lack of free seats that are offered!!!

I remembered when this promo was carried out in 2006. Please correct me if I am wrong... The reason I 2006 is because I managed to go on my honeymoon twice via this promo! And both destinations - FREE SEATS - Return flights some more!!!

Look at this diagram.... What can be concluded..... It speaks for itself doesn't it.......

Now, all I see are just one way, mostly. Yes, there are still free seats for return flights but aren't many as there used to be....and the flight days lets not get there ..... I wanted to buy tix to go to Beijing.... The flight back were the only free seats offered and to go were like non existance of free seats... If there were....I couldn't check as it was so congested that error pops out everytime...sigh... If I really wanted all I need to do was really wait and browse.... but with that kind of internet traffic....No lar.....And flights to China as it seems are very scarce.....hmmmmmm.....

Think I will I skip this one out.....Thank you very much....I am pissed but then who will listen AA??? Anyways it is business from them......Said my piece, now off to bed .........Nite....or better yet morning!!!

Music, Singing, Dancing and Me…

As much as I can remember when I first started blogging there isn't much that about myself that I write about…Well yes, there is but mostly about things that are current but never about me growing up ….Maybe it is time to share a bit…. Just a tiny bit me thinks….. Something on music, singing and dancing.

I love music….To me music is universal… The songs that I listen to are mostly songs come from different parts of the world. I have always enjoyed music since I was young – listening, singing and dancing to the beat.

I can say, I was one lively little girl. I'd be dancing and singing… I won't say I have such a great voice but it is good enough for the ears to listen LoL! Upon seeing that, my parents enrolled me into ballet …. How I loved going to classes, wearing tutus and the slippers it was simply divine and girly girly! Going through each position, following the teacher's instructions and moving to the rhythm of the piano…

As time goes by I grew and my taste of music changed too. I noticed that my need to dance is different than it used to be… I wanted to dance more expressively! Funny kan me…..I still loved ballet but don't take it the wrong way ballet was great and all but it was too structured it did not gave way to flexibility…. Anyway how I was glad I did it as it gave me discipline…. And I did learn other dances too… One of the dances I learned was the Highland dance when we were in Scotland and coming back to Malaysia I got to learn some traditional dances that were graceful and frightfully hard to master as I was so "keras" (not poised enough)!!!

As for singing… I never dared to enter a singing competition… if I did it would have been a group effort but never never as a solo…. I am a shy person no not really but I get stage fright especially when it comes to singing…And I do not enjoy singing at a karaoke lounge where you have to sing perfectly… I just love hanging out with the boys cos they let me sing badly as I want to any song that I want to sing to… and half of them I really do not know how to sing at all…. Like that time where we sang Lady GaGa's song – Papparazzi and The Black Eyed Peas – Boom Boom Pow…It was hilarious!!!! Singing to me is supposedly to be fun… But I had my shares of winnings too – choir competitions…hehehhe

As you can see for me music, singing and dancing is a kind of outlet of expressions, it gives peace, serenity and a kind of joy whether it is rock&roll, R&B, jazz, pop, slow or fast ….the list just goes on… It is a kind of release for me…to be me…. Oh when I clean the house I sing and dance :P

Another thing about me I love to listen to songs that are in foreign languages … the language kinds of wraps itself around the music and melody…. How sappy can I be as I am writing this… One might say that instead of having an operation that I had, I had a brain surgery that turned me into a cuckoo…hahhaha….This is me!

Well…. I just hope next year I have enough money to buy myself a piano and learn to play it and when I say playing it not just learning to play music that some classes teaches but going through all the exams… It is never too late to do anything as anything is possible… A dream that I always dreamt of…..

It Hurts!

Well, I was warded on Sunday evening, has my surgery on Monday morning and discharged on Wednesday afternoon. Now I am on 40 days leave. Yay! Not so lah... been feeling tired most of the time... To do a sinple task takes so long and getting a good darn bath is not simply easy.....

Now my stitches hurts becos a fish bone has some dislodged itself in my throat and just won't budge...becos of it when I cought it makes my stitches hurt....oh me repeating the same thing...takper lah too lazy to figure out the arrangement of my sentences.....

It hurts....maybe need to go back to doc to see how...just worried it affects the internal stitches.....waaa.... I hate this....
