AT LAST...
...I've got the energy and mental health to type out this month's blog post!
It's been 'some' 10 days I've just experienced...Definitely rated among the worst, if not the worst 10 days of my life! I've just got to say - THANK YOU GOD - for getting me through this!
For most of you still in the dark, I've just gone through 2 minor surgeries that involved approximately 7 numb injections and 8 minimally invasive penetrations into the area around my spine to get rid of the pain in my leg because of the slipped disc problem I got mysef some one and the half years ago. Heck, I sweated profusely throughout this tormenting surgical experience. And as if that wasn't enough, In between the 2 surgeries, I had a case of inner ear imbalance aka vertigo. I couldn't stand up or even sit up during the 6 days I had it as I would get a bad headache each time I did so. Having meals and bathing was an awful nightmare.
Not Forgetting to mention, I also had four packets of sodium chloride drips split over 2 rounds. The funny and hurtful thing is that I had to be injected 3 times instead of 2 because the doctor poked the wrong spot during the first try...it hurts a lot, I hate it! Or rather, I'm afraid of needle pains...haha :P
Furthermore, I vomited once on the way home from the clinic. I was already feeling very dizzy and yet have to drive my way home. Just when i was reaching Taman Desa where I live, I stopped by the side of a busy highway, went down and vomited. It was probably the liquid medicine being too bitter for my stomach's liking. My headache got much worse after that incident but i had to drag myself back into the car and manouvre it home.
Some of the other things that happened during that period of time were like having bad appetite and it wasn't helped by the fact that I had to refrain from eating a whole lot of things. I also ended up missing my brother's latest hotel and bistro opening in Johor on the 22nd. I really wanted to go for it but my health was just way too poor for me to make the trip down. I didn't want to get in their way knowing I couldn't offer them any help but would only be a cause of concern to them. I will post photos of the hotel and bistro once I get back to JB. Trust me, I've got a good feeling it will be a new landmark in that part of the town...wait for the pictures!!
Well, "that's all" I guess(sarcastically)... Tomorrow would be reunion day for all fellow chinese out there...I wish all my chinese readers, Happy Chinese New Year! Have a safe and prosperous one guys! Oh yeah, my gratitude to all those who wished me well during my weakest moment and special thanks to Shoban who drove me to and back from the clinic when I had that awful headache.
Thanks Again!
