scared and vulnerable
and so, spent the entire morning at the hospital.
the MRI scan was a torture. asking a hyper person not to move is extremely uncomfortable. well, of cos i moved. lol. the doc kept going,”ms lim.. please dont move..” over the headphones.
the angle my leg was put in was weird, and my muscle kept twitching, so not entirely my fault.
i have decided to head for the surgery. it’s abt 6 – 8k, and scheduled on tuesday evening. im scared shit less, but it’s like im not giving myself an option. i wil go ahead with the surgery, even if money is short. i mean, i wouldnt want to wait, cos i risk damaging my knee further walking ard in my condition.
holes are gonne be drilled in my bone. going under GA, a tendon from my hamstrings will be taken and used to connect the shin and thighbones. clutches for a week, and then physiotherapy.
🙁
if only you stood by me..

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.

i think your knee surgery is somewhat like what keat did for his knee too.
he wants me to tell you that it’s good that you do it cos your knee will be just fine after the surgery. he can play soccer now and run alot. there, not so scary right?
*hugs*
cherieladieblogs

the doc told me the same thing but IM JUST SCARED! i have never been through surgery of any kind (other than wisdom tooth) and knowing that they are gonna dril my bone is just scary!

Can’t imagine how the whole process gonna be like, but it gonna be good next time, for sure! I accompanied my fren thru’ all these before, and he’s totally okay now. Can run, swim, chase after buses etc. Do keep me posted on it okay!?

hey gal. so sorry to hear about the surgery & all.
it should be ok, heard of people going for knee surgery & turned out to be perfectly ok. just know that u’ll be able to be running the buses again after that ok?
the surgery quite ex man. if u can go through the polyclinic route/referal, might be much cheaper with gov subsidise…
cherieladieblogs
but choosing the polyclinic route might take a longer time, and i just wana get over and done with since im unemployed now..
i’ll still be able to use medisave anyway, so it’s not too bad.
