Getting More Costly

 Thursday 29 October 2020

 

Since last week, I had a hole in my top front tooth. I dread to go to dental, but I had to. So last week Friday, I made an appointment with Adventist Hosp. dental again.

Two days ago (27/10), around 9.30 am Janice dropped me at the lobby and the staff there pushed me up to the dental dept. There were only a few people there when I arrived.

Within minutes, the nurse came to push me in. Dr. Eric checked my teeth before the nurse helped me down the chair. I thought my front tooth has a small hole, but Dr. Eric told me it was a big hole. He also saw another bottom tooth need filing.

He filled both teeth around 45 minutes. Thank God my spams didn't attack me and I was in good condition. I felt relief when it was finished.

After finish, a passerby nurse pushed me out to the counter. When the staff called me for payment, I was surprised the charges are so costly, I pay the bill with an unhappy feeling.

When Janice came to fetch me, I thank God everything was over that morning. Maybe it will be the last time I go to Adventist (dental) as everytime I went there the charges were getting more costly.

 

 

 

No Inspiration

 Monday, 26 October 2020 

I haven't been updating my story since a week ago. I kept thinking about what to write, but my mind is blank. Sometimes my inspiration comes so fast that I can write within hours or days. Yet some days, I completely not able to write.

The whole of last week I didn't go anywhere. my body also didn't feel good too.  Certain days I felt so down with my spasm. I can feel the nerve inside my body pulling me. My body movement slow down. I have difficulty in pushing my wheelchair, not only that I felt very tired.

Certain days when my spasm attacked me more severe I have to lie on the bed till evening. During that time I felt terrible as my muscle kept pulling and I wasn't able to do anything.

When my body stiff with spasm, it made my mum difficult to transfer me to bed. But she helped me patiently and quietly. I felt quilty and apologies to her, but her only word was "it's ok". What I did was thank her. 

I thank God for giving strength to carry on with my sickness in my life. 

 

My Life Photos

 Saturday, 17 Oct 2020

Lately, I have been changing my photo albums and went through all my photos. From childhood days until today, I have changed so much with God's grace. He gives me life until this very day.

I feel happy to see all my photos of my family outings, my close friends, my activities and outings with friends, my outstation and overseas trips, my boccia sports, and other photos. It’s a good memory of my life.

Even though with my sickness, God has given me life and I have done so much all these years. I thank God for all He has given and done for me.

Thyroid

 

Tuesday, 6 October 2020

On Tuesday (6/10) was my first visit to Endocrine Dept (at ACC Building). In July, my Psychiatrist doctor wrote a referring letter there for my thyroid problem

Two week ago, I took a blood test at Outpatient Dept (001) before I see Edorine doctor.

That morning, Janice dropped mum and I outside ACC Building, mum and I went up to the 1st floor.

I didn't know where it was, but Janice guided me and it was easy to find. When we enter Edorine Dept, there were so many people. All chairs were taken up, luckily a lady saw us and she gave mum her seat. 

The procedure at the department is quite the same as Psychiatrists Dept, but slightly different. We need to place our card in the first counter, later another (counter) the nurse will call us to take our blood pressure and give us a number. What while waiting, I observed the people who were around there.

When my number was called, I wheel inside. When I reach near the doctor's room, a young Chinese doctor came to push me. When I was inside, I was slightly surprised by four doctors' with their patients in the room. I was happy to have a lady doctor who talks patiently with me. She went through my letter and asked me about my history. She went through my blood test paper.

After discussed with her boss, she explained to me about my blood test which I couldn't understand much. She asked me to continue thyroid medication and will see me in another four months. Before my next visit, I have to take a blood test again.

After taking my appointment card and my medicine chit, we went down. I called Janice to bring us back. I didn't take my medicine as there was a queue of people. Janice will take my medication another day.

Thank you, God, for the morning was over and everything went well.

A Hot Afternoon

Sunday, 4 October 2020

On Sunday (4/10) I thought I would be staying at home until my darling called me that night before saying they would be going Balik Pulau.

On that morning, my darling fetched me around 11 am and we went to their center. Our plan chanced as we were not able to go to Balik Pulau as Teik has to repair his motorcycle. 

So I spent my time at their center watching my darling helping Teik with his motor. I thought Teik wouldn’t take that long to repair his motor but he has a problem fixing the parts, so it took a long time until he finished in the afternoon.

We didn’t go anywhere except spend time at their center. It was quite a hot day. Even though I did nothing there and felt very hot, yet I felt happy I was near my darling.

 

Spasm Attacked

 

 Friday, 2 October 2020

 

This week has passed and the weekend is here again.  In the past weeks, my body condition has not been very stable – someday I’m in good condition (I’m able to do my part-time job and daily things). But certain days, I feel terrible as my spasm attack me severely until I had to lie in bed.

It makes me feel frustrated that I’m not able to the things I wanted to do. Even though I want to do things, my movement would be very slow. So, I need to take things easy and relax more. This is something which I dislike because I have been always on the move.    

This is beyond my body control and I cannot do anything except to relax and accept it.
