Postponed CT Scan

On my visit to the doctor on Monday, I was supposed to get a date for my surgery but instead the surgeon explained to me that seeing how they are still not sure about the status of my “solid mass” they insisted that I for a CT scan to rule out ovarian malignancy before proceeding to remove my cyst.

I was scheduled to go for CT scan this morning at 9.15am. I fasted as instructed since 5.15am and was all ready for my first ever CT scan. Nervous? Of course.. since this was my first time but after reading up on risk and things and also talking to a few friends who had experienced it before, I was prepared.

The missed out Meds

So we got to the hospital bright and early. After changing to the x-ray drapery fabrics gown that consist of the gown and a kimono style outer robe, the nurse brought me to another room to get me prep. She did a preliminary checklist and noticed that I had declared I have asthma. She asked me if I had taken the “prednisoLone” that the doctor had given me. I asked her what’s that and she looked a little panic to be honest. I explained that the doctor didn’t give me any such meds. She asked me to wait a bit while she checked with the CT doc (is that what they are called?). She came back a few moments later and told me that since I was not properly prepared for the CT scan, they fear that I may have an allergic reactions to the contrast dye.

So guess what? I got my “prednisoLone” and a new appointment for tomorrow morning. Erggg.. I could strangle the doctor for making such a careless mistake in not prescribing me the meds but like I told my mom, there must be a blessing somewhere. I mean look at it this way. Normally CT scan appointments are almost always full, what are the odds that I got another one the very next day after my postponed date.. correct?

Anyhow, I’ve taken my first does at 9.30pm and my second dose is at 7.30am tomorrow morning. Wish me luck for tomorrow ya.. Oh and if anyone of you has done CT scan before, so share your experience..

Cheerio…

Groovy Kind Love - 12th Year Anniversary

Today marks 12th years marriage to the man I want to spend the rest of my life with, my darling Azwaj.

It has been a journey full of ups and down. It has been a journey of happiness and sadness, of laughter and tears. It has been a journey full of health and sickness… but through it all, one thing remain constant and that is our love.

This song reminds me of our love. Groovy and cool on so many levels.

Optimistic for Good Times Ahead

On my last post I wrote that I was going back to Singapore on Monday.. well it’s Thursday today and I’m already back home in KL. In fact I was home yesterday but since there were too many things to do, I thought I’d update my blog today.

Anyway, I do have to go back to Singapore early next Monday morning to make my doctor’s appointment at 4pm on the same day. Gosh, if this were flights to south africa instead of coach rides to Singapore, can you imagine the frequent flyer miles I’ll be raking up? But then again, if I was going to South Africa, I’ll be soaking up the the vacation mood that I’ll be in instead of somewhat dreading these doctor visits.

So I pretty much decided that I am going through another surgery  hence the doctor’s visit this Monday. I will meet with my surgeon to discuss procedures and dates for the surgery itself.  I am hopeful to eliminate any future needs for more surgery.  At last scan (only 7 month after my last keyhole surgery) the doctors found a cyst measuring 6cm and a solid mass that they worry might be cancerous in my left ovary so this surgery would be to remove that cyst and to find out for sure if that solid mass is anything to worry about.

I strive to be optimistic for now and believe there are good times ahead in front for me and only worry about the implication after the doctor can finalize whether it is indeed cancer.  Till then, it’s the same jovial LJ here 🙂

Trickling Water

I am not sure what’s going with my condo area but ever since Thursday, water pressure have been really low with water trickling down instead of gushing out. Then I thought they were doing something to rectify the matter when they shut off water supply on Friday. Obviously I was wrong because when the water came back on at 7pm, it was the same situation. I was so mad last night that I was banging stuff, cursing at everything and just ranting away. Azwaj knew to just stay out of the way. He even made sure the kitties didn’t disturb me.

trickling water

Anyway, I called the management office today to complain and asked them to explain why they didn’t rectify the matter when they had the whole day on Friday to do what is necessary. The clerk explained that the water was shut down yesterday because one of the units needed to change water pipes and so that was why the water was shut off and not for the reason I thought. She got the resident plumber to come down to our unit to take a look. The plumber came, did some checking and then left. I thought he was going to come back but after an hour and still no sight of him, I called the management office again. The same clerk told me that there were a few more complaints after I called and so the plumber was called back to the office and asked to check on the water tanks on the roof. I was also told that there will be another water shut off on Monday and this time it was to do maintenance on the water tanks. OMG! Can you imagine how livid I was?

Times like this I wish I could escape and run off on a vacation. Right about now some cheap holidays to goa sounds absolutely divine.  Relaxing on the beautiful white sand beaches with nothing to worry about except getting that perfect tan is just what I need.  Of course checking out the art, architecture, music and cuisine present in Goa holidays does not sound bad either.

Anyway, the low water pressure is not rectified till now and there is no one to call since it is the weekend.  I am sure there are lots of frustrated people this weekend as they rushed to do laundry, store water and with the low pressure, everything will twice or even triple as long. I’m gone on Monday morning back to Singapore. I just hope everything will back to normal by the time I come back or someone gonna get a yelling for sure.

Now mind you I am no brilliant doodler but that is what makes the game so much fun. lol! So download the game, Draw Something hook up with me ok 🙂

Oh since I am on the topic of phones, here’s a quick and simple quiz I took. Just love my results 🙂

You never like to be rushed, and it stresses you out to be in a hurry.You pride yourself on being logical and rational. You listen to your emotions, but you also keep them in check.You are calm and collected. You know that things are never as bad as they first seem.

A Day of RnR

On my last trip to Singapore, I met up with friend who said she would love to come with me to the Singapore Universal Studio. She went there once with her colleagues and really enjoyed it and said that she would love to go again with me. I am super excited to say the least especially since I know she enjoys the thrilling rides as much as I do! We have not really planned when to go but I am supposed to give her ample notice so she take leave from work. We plan to go on a weekday to avoid the weekend crowd.

I know it’s only in my homeland Singapore and not like a all inclusive costa adeje holidays where I can enjoy, Jeep safaris,  Camel rides,  or  Deep sea fishing, but I am really looking forward to some RnR especially since I may have to go for surgery again in the coming months.

That dream vacation with Azwaj may have to wait due to unforeseen circumstances but I sure plan to make this one day even come sooner than later.

Happy Cheese Day

Now that I’ve officially stuffed myself with two kinds of cheesecake from Secret Recipe tonight (it’s my birthday, I’m allowed to splurged.. hahah), it’s time to lay low on the cheese this month. After all I did have a Blueberry Cheese Tartlet field day earlier this month from my baking class in Singapore.. yumss..

I’m thinking of ways to lose weight safely now especially since there might a period of inactivity for me when I go under the knife again in the next month or so. Yeap..  you heard me right, the cyst is back and this time with a full vengeance. At last scan, it was 6cm already and once again the doctor is worried it might twist or rupture.

Some kind of birthday present eh? Oh well.. trying to find a silver lining in all this 😉

Cheerio…
