Sunday 01/20/2008
Today is a very COLD day!! Outside was very sunny & with bright sun shine, but outside was bittery cold!! (rocolk breaking day) Everyone is bundled up fr the top to the bottom, looks like an eskimo indeed....
We went to church as usual & had a wonderful time worshipping the Lord & the congregation. All of them still showed their concern & care for me, I told them that I am all well & OK now!! Just gotta finished the IV ab treatment, hopefully by the end of the month. Initially I was really sick, sleepy & tired w the IV treatment, but thank God that I am tolerating much better now, not as tired & sleepy as b4, Praise God!
I started walking around the block wearing my i-Pod since last week (well & tightly bundled up, of course) and s'time in the hse, stairs or outside at the driveway. I am doing well & increased the time & amt of ex gradually....I feel good after moving around & being active! I am proud of myself & so do Andrew....
We installed the Alkaline Water filter system on 01/12/2008 and r drinking it faithfully & happily everyday since then. It's benefit will certainly help in improving our health, esp mine... My BS level is coming down nicely which is such a joy & blessing to me, like a prayer being answered, Praise God....Socking our feet and hand in the acid water will improve skin, I am sure w constant consumption of the Alkaline water, my health status will eventually reach it's optimum level!! We r really excited about this new discovery!!!
Called Jiau last week & spoke to both Sok Hua & Jiau. She seems 'prepared', w some normal new mom's anxiety but one thing for sure: she/they r Happy & Excited!!(the fruit of Love, how precious & priceless) I am so happy for them, wish them well & will pray for them. May God bless, guide & be w them as they venture into this new experience & chapter of their life!!!
Tan Teck have the Company's grand openning buffet on the 01/19 (Sat), called his hse on Fri & spoke to sis-in-law for a long time. My brother is doing well in the business, good for him. Indeed, he is a pioneer/legend in the spare parts world ha..ha....
The 2008 election fever is going really strong & competitive, Andrew watch or record them all the time, as he is always very interested in politic. (when we were courting, he shared w me about his interest, dream & vision in 'politic' all the time) Even now, he is still very interested & keen reg all political issues....That's my husband: Me, Stock market/Investment, Nursing and Politics hi..hi....

January, 3rd 2008

This is my 1st blog for the New Year !! Happy New Year to myself, Hing & all my loved ones....Well, I was admitted to Westchester Medical Center fr 23rd till yesterday, spending the end of the year in hosp w much feeling of sadness, anger & depression!! While everybody is celebrating & cheering, there I was, feeling so lonely, bored & angry.....
Started w fever & recurrent of ?? celulitis in my R leg (ankle was red, swallen & painful w few tiny sores) Went to the ER & of course, w a hx of chronic illness, they would not let me leave until and unless a full exam had been carried out...I spent the night in ER & finally went to the unit only at 6am on 12/24/07!!!
The same series of blood tests, X-rays & special scan was being done slowly. Coinside w the holidays, where there is not so many Drs or not so many Deprs were being operated, I spent most of the 10 days, waiting, waiting & waiting.... (Then the blood test showed taht I hv MRSA in my blood, just like the last 2 times!!) I started on ab treatment. Time was so bored, slow & awful during those agony moments....Deep inside I wish that I can scream, yell & blame 'somebody' to release my frustration. But, all I could do was to wait, be patient & reassured myself of God's promises...Still hold on to God's love & the rainbow that He has created in my life amidst all the trial & tribulation journey that I hv gone thru...That was how I got thru' the 10 long days w-out going 'crazy'. Thank You God for being there for me the entire time, comforted and sustained me. I continue to thank Him for all the good as well as the bad times, for he si with me, no matter what, where & how....Prise Him.
I thank God for Hing's great care & sending friends, neighbour, Pastor, church members to visit, pray & cheer me up, their present really meant a great deal to me & I sincerely appreciated their kind thoughts, prayers & encouragement...
I was so Happy to finally returned home at 6pm yesterday!! So was Hing, he called in sick just to stay home w me....I hv to continue w IV ab treatment via a Picc line in my L upper arm, at home for 4 week so as to make sure all the MRSA bacteria in my blood r being 'killed' once & for all, never recurrent again!!Hing will be admin the ab for me once a day & blood test in between by the visiting nurse.
I read the blogs of my loved ones & was so happy that all of them hv had a wonderful time being together.... I called eldest sister & shared w her, she was shocked & saddened by the news & comforted me thru' the phone...Told me that Rena was not feeling well, H/A again)Called Rena, her maid saied that she had just returned fr the Dr's office for severe headache & was sleeping.... Will talked to her later. Hope she will recover soon. May God bless her, gives her strength & heal her...
Tomorrow, we will be going for a planned mini vacation/getaway to AC.... I am really excited & being at home I am 100% better already, slept very well, peaceful & sweetly last night, am now feeling 'normal', strong, energetic , active & percky again.(Doing things always make me feel good & happy!!) Hosp really make one depressed & become 'more' sick!!! I will hv no part to do w it again. God be w me & heal me, Amen.
