It's December once again

Merry Christmas to all! I dunno how long I haven't updated this blog. There are many reasons behind. I miss blogging and hopping.  I miss friends and readings their blogs.  I am trying  to get online. I am busy with my full time business. I even forget my online works :(

I have already a registered med tech daughter. Hopefully she will pass her NMAT exams so she can proceed to medicine.. I wish next year will be fruitful year to me and my family.

Laters.....

I undergo Dilatation and Curettage

I have been in hospital for four days. I really hate to be in hospital. Even though I’m there my mind is with my children, I know that my mother is with them but still I am worried. 

My last menstrual period was last June 27, 2012.  I decided to see my ob gyne. She advised me for an ultra sound. And the result needs to be curettage.  I was scheduled to have a Dilatation and curettage on Tuesday morning first case, so I admitted Monday. On my schedule my pulse rate goes down L so  I was given some meds  prior  my  procedure, until my internal medicine  deferred my  procedure.  She reschedules it on Wednesday morning. Here comes the moment, all my vital signs are stable.  During the D&C my pulse rate goes down again, ECG machine attach on me during the procedure.  I stayed in OB or and Recovery for five hours.hayz!!! My family already worried. I know God is with me.  When I woke up in recovery room my anaesthesia still there, I was vomiting and I feel dizzy. Until I was back on my room, still I feel nauseated,   maybe because I was fasting for how many hours and I feel hungry.

What is Dilatation and Curettage?

According to Wikipedia  (Dilation and Curettage) refers to the dilation (widening/opening) of the cervix and surgical removal of part of the lining of the uterus and/or contents of the uterus by scraping and scooping (curettage). It is a therapeutic gynaecological procedure as well as a rarely used method of first trimester abortion.

D&C normally refers to a procedure involving a curette, also called sharp curettage.[1] However, some sources use the term D&C to refer more generally to any procedure that involves the processes of dilation and removal of uterine contents, which includes the more common suction curettage procedures of manual and electric vacuum aspiration.

I feel better now.. Thanks God. Next week I will get my biopsy result. Hopefully, the result will be negative.

Been awhile.....

Been awhile I was away from blogosphere. There are many reasons to enumerate. My eldest daughter is away from home.  She has a board review, exams will be on September.  Hoping she will pass with flying colors.  Second daughter is in 4^th year college.  My youngest is in first year taking Tourism.  And, I’m in stress with my offline work.  My mother is with me, she is 72 years old, and she is suffering from arthritis.   Having this illness is hell.  She is in pain always, when it is very cold she can’t walk really because her joint is killing her.  I don’t give her a medication for her arthritis always since it’s not good for her kidney and heart.  If she can’t tolerate anymore the pain, then it’s the time she will take her medication.  For her exercise, she does walking around our village.  She maintains her diet of,  no salt, no meat, no dairy products.  Are you suffering with this illness too?  What tips and advices can you give me?  Taking this member of the family is very tiring.  But, as long as I am healthy I will never tired of taking care of them, because they are all my precious jewels. 

Conquering your fear

If nothing scares you, success is easy.  You never feel hesitant, shy or nervous.  So the tendency is to take actions. When you do not act, it is probably because of fear.

Fear is the inability to face someone or something. You’re afraid to encounter it, so you prefer to avoid. That’s the time you worried much and develop stress.

Just approach the problem with radiant steps. You cut the problem into smaller pieces. You successfully deal with small parts and thus reach a full resolution.

Talking about your fear to your friend can reduce the effects of fears.  Talk it openly and discuss it.  Your fear may often feel less difficult.

In some cases, the best approach to deal with your fear is to close your eyes and jump in. You face the fear without any regard for your feelings and emotions.  You might get nervous or even terrified, but once you take the leap, you will discover the big monster are merely shadows.

There are some method to conquer fears that you will get a positive result, as long as you cooperate and ready to face the circumstances. I know controlling fears can be tough, but the reward is enormous. You will be happy!!

Happy Easter to all!!

My Wishlist

My wish list for this year is to have a work desk.  A workplace that is very comfy to work with, that you are inspired to finish your entire task for the day. My computer desk is already damaged; its leg is swinging because one of the rollers is broken. When I am typing, at the same time it is swinging, it goes when I type, and it keeps me deleting some letters. So, my 15 minutes time will take for one hour just for typing I have been looking for the best quality and affordable work desk.

Finally after some searching online, my wish list will come true soon.  I have stumbled glass computer desks, a stylish and elegant desk.  I really like it because of the quality, elegant, simple and easy to clean. The desk measurement is standard, even my niece can relax while playing online games. The shelves are designed for cpu and printers.  You can place your workplace anywhere in the house.

 Even in large company this workstation is best.  Hopefully, I can have that this year.  I am saving from my online task to make my wish list come true. My kids will surely love it also and they will use it as their study table. 

Afraid of illness

My friend who is very strong in every aspect of life, become so weak.  Yes it is true that when you discover you have illness, you become weak and hopeless. She’s the eldest and become the mother of her siblings when her mother works abroad, that was the time when she is in high school. She is always protective to her sibling’s and very loving to them.  In short she is the mother to them. She don’t really enjoy being in that stage of life because of her situation. Her father is a vendor of fish in the market, and he doesn’t have time for them. Their father is very cruel. She works abroad after she gives birth to her son. As single parent she needs to work for her son and family. She even sends her siblings in private school and gives them the comfort of life.  After 10 years working abroad, she’s back to her family for good.

Now she is so depressed because of her illness.  She is having a heavy and prolongs menstruation.  It’s been 30 days already, and she needs to visit her ob gyne. Today I accompany her for her laboratory test prior to her ultra sound. After 5 hours she get her lab test and visit back her ob gyne.  Doctor advice her for the D & C.

What is D & C? It is refer to the opening (dilation) of the cervix and surgical removal of the part of the lining of the uterus by scraping (curettage). It is refer to the procedure that involves the process of dilation and removal of the uterine contents. It is perform to the patients having an abnormal uterine bleeding, or removal of cyst on the ovary. It can be done also on the following miscarriage or abortion cases because of the fetus fails to fully empty its content  This is performed in the hospital or clinic while you are under general anesthesia.

The friend is so worried about her illness since her mother and her aunty have this too.  Her aunty develop it into cancer, since it is already stage 4 when it is discover. She worried about her son. Her mother cried when she knows it. Her son feels sad about it.  I try to lift her, not to worry at all, God is with her. She will be admitted for surgery on Thursday afternoon. My prayer and thoughts will be with her. Be strong my friend. We will be always with you.
