I was supposed to met Dr Jazlan again think morning. Arrived at KKH shortly after 9 am, registered myself at the counter. I was then led to the Routine Test Room to check my blood pressure and weight.
Then, to the waiting area in front of Room A10. My appointment was at 9.40 am. Coincidentally, my queue number was 0940. Anyone wants to buy 4D? Hahahhaha.... As usual, the patient will have to "patiently" wait for the doctor. But then, since when doctors wait for the patients? Hmmm...
The arrival of Dr Jazlan.... The queue numbers were called. 0900... 0910.... 0930... 0931... And, then... 0940... That was mine! Went into the room. After exchanging "hi!", I Told Dr Jazlan that the pain disappeared. He appeared a bit surprised but relieved that I am no longer in pain cos he could see that I was in bad shape on Monday when I first saw him. Yup! Tell me about it... I was in deep pain then.... Alhamdulillah! It disappeared....
OK, the results... He told me that some "tumor mucus level" in my blood is high... abt 124... Believe me, I don't know what this tumor mucus level whatsoever... He then explained that it is still not too worrying a level as cancerous level which is about 1000+++... So, what he would recommend is for him to see me again in 6 weeks, to do another ultra sound scan and a blood test to see if the "tumor mucus level" has risen or the cyst has grown. If it has, then it may require surgery to remove the cyst.
Another 6 weeks of waiting.... Will post more updates soon!
Oh, by the way.... It is my 10th month anniversary today.... Happy 10th Month, Hubby Dear! Love you always!

What a Day???
I just had to pen this down... A little disappointed and thankful at the same time...
I had an appointment with a lady gynae in KKH at 1.50 pm. At around 9 am, I received a call from KKH, informing me that the gyna I was referred to was on Medical Leave and would like to check if we can reschedule to Thursday. I was fuming.... Not because of the gynae. I mean, even doctors fall sick, I understand. I am already in pain, and without checking the hospital records, this staff had the cheek to call me and ask for a reschedule.
I asked for a change in gynae, preferable a lady gynae. She referred me to another doctor and shifted the appointment time to 11.30 am. I rushed to get ready, even rushed my Dad and my boyfriend as the appointment was shifted earlier.
We reached the registration counter at 11 am.... Guess what? We were informed that this lady gynae is fully booked and will not take in walk-in patients. Argggghhh! What else??? This nurse was sweet enough to check for me the next available gynae and found that Dr Jazlan was available to take up the case. Gosh! Finally.... But... He will only be in the hospital in the afternoon... around 2 pm... So, my mum, my boyfriend (who just came back after a night shift) and myself waited around the hospital for almost 3 hrs before I could meet Dr Jazlan. After explaining to him what happened and a little examination of my abdomen, I was asked to go for another pelvic scan. Here, I was asked to drink 6 cups of water and then go for the scan, after which, the results will be out after 2 hrs. Gosh! Another waiting time...
I let my boyfriend go back as he needs to go for another night shift later. My mum and myself, we went to grab some food.... And, came back to the waiting area. At round 5 pm, the results of my scan was out and I went in to see Dr Jazlan again.
He said that the pain I am experiencing now is not due to the ovarian cyst they found in my left ovary. But from the results, he said that the cyst is abt 3.2 cm, a solid cyst. He is unable to determine if there is a need to remove the cyst as yet. But, will need a blood test to be done to confirm on that. So, to conclude, I had my blood taken. An appointment is made to see Dr Jazlan again on Friday, 29 Feb 08. Haiz! More waiting....
In the meantime, I am covered with Hospitalisation Leave till 29 Feb 08....

Friendster Horoscope for February 24, 2008
Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)The Bottom Line
Try to welcome today's challenges with open arms. They will teach you the most.
In DetailTry to welcome today's challenges with open arms. After all, it's not the sunshiney days and super-good times that bring you life's most important lessons -- it's the barriers and the unpleasant surprises that help you see what you are really made of. So when something tough hits your radar today, try to accept it with all of your heart. See that glass as half full. Today might not be the best day of your life, it will offer many chances for you to test your mettle -- and impress yourself.
"I never believed in my horoscopes.... But, somehow, this time, it happened so, that I am also going through some challenges in my life. And I know, I have to accept them with open arms. I was hospitalised, with a sharp pain in my right abdomen. I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts. I don't know how serious it could be but i truly hope it isn't. All I could do is, wait for Monday to come... Will be seeing the gynae @ KKH for further diagnosis...."

Always a First Time....
In my 27 years of life, I have never been admitted in a hospital before. This is the very1st time.
15 Feb 08:
It all started with a gastric pain which I thought was normal. Went to Healthway Medical near the Interchange and was given some gastric medication and issued MC for the day.
19 Feb 08:
Suddenly, my right abdomen was in pain since last night. Went to Healthway Medical at St 71. My doctor said that it could be more than gastrics. He issued me 1 day MC and some medication as well.
20 Feb 08:
The pain didn't go away. My doctor referred me to go for an ultra sound scan which I did. On the fateful day of 20 February 2008 at 4 plus in the afternoon, my mum forced me to go to A&E, CGH. After being wheeled in a wheelchair from 1 point to another... met a Dr Mark and was informed that I have Urinary Tract Infection but BECAUSE the pain in concentrated on the right side only, it may also be Apendicitis. So, they wanted more tests, what's new?
Next thing I knew, I was admitted into Ward 16, Bed 24, a 4-bedded ward. There were 2 other patients; an elderly woman and a middle aged woman. At 10 pm that night, I was wheeled to the X-Ray Centre to have my X-Ray done. Then, wheeled back to my ward. And, I thought the hospital is a great place to rest. I was awakened many times... Blood Pressure check, Temperature check and all... Imagine, the surgeons came in the middle of the night to examine me.... Arrrrghhhh!
21 Feb 08:
I was on a drip since 7 pm last nite. Next test, CT-Scan... Urgh! I hate that one.... Then, the waiting time for the results. It seemed forever.... They made me fast for more than 20 hrs.... I can't take it anymore... And, finally, they came with the results... Said that there were so signs of infection. Instead, they found something else...They found cysts in my ovaries, specifically, in my left ovary... So in the meantime, they could only give me painkillers....
22 Feb 08:
The specialists, surgeons and the doctors came at 7 am, imagine that? I was kind of shocked to wake up in a ward with so many people surrounding my bed... I feel like a specimen... They mentioned about my cyst again... It sounded scary. They were going to refer me to a gynaecologist in KKH as the specialist in CGH is tied up or something. So, they will arrange with KKH if they can transfer me directly there.
Waited, waited and I waited... Goodness! The waiting was like so endless. We had to ask several times when the doctor was coming.
Finally the doctor came.... I will be discharged and appointment was made to see a gynae in KKH on Monday afternoon, 1.50 pm. They issued me medication for a week. Just painkillers and something to suppress my gastrics...
I was discharged only at almost 8 pm.... Finally....

Friendster Horoscope for February 1, 2008
Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)
The Bottom Line
You are going unconsciously fast, right now -- and you should slow your roll!
In Detail
You are going at a much faster speed right now than you consciously realize -- which could cause some problems. Outside forces are encouraging you to go a lot quicker than you need to, but it would be a good idea for you to slow things down just a bit. After all, what is your hurry? There are a lot of good things going on in your life right now, and a lot of interesting people you should take the time to talk to at length. You have plenty of time to do whatever you want.
Missed....
I used to be very close to a gal.... whom I treated like my own blood sister.... whom I never forgotten in everything I do or everywhere I go. She is someone I'm known almost all my life and we have been there for each other in happy or sad moments of our lives.
I made it a point to meet up with her now and then so as to keep the bond a live... However, within the last few months, I haven't seen her nor have I heard from her.... No news... Not even on Hari Raya. I seem to have disappeared from her life... totally. I dunno if I ever hurt her in any way, whether there is something I did or may have said without realising it which may have hurt her feelings.
I hear a lot about her. She is now closer to someone else. Maybe, because if that... I dunno. I do not wish to judge.
I just miss her presence...
I just miss her...
So much has happened between me and my closest kin. And, I have been misjudged by many... I kept my distance. I kept my silence. I kept all my disappointments and my sadness to myself without muttering a single word... It's just me and Eizzy, the only kin I have left who stayed by my side... Who believed in me....
To Eizzy, thank you for standing by me always....
