the scare.
and so, i am on 2 days MC, extending my long weekend to an even longer weekend. depending on how u look at it, it could be good news or bad.
it’s bad for me because its a busy week and i have loads to clear. so even though i am on MC, i am still sending out emails and checking my mails before the medication knocks me out.
so what exactly happened?
i have no friggin’ idea man. the pain just intensified as time goes by. when i finally reached singapore at 4.45pm, the GP was closed and i found a comfortable spot to lie down in bed for a while and der rushed home to pack his luggage before he could come back to bring me to the doc’s when it opens at 6.30pm.
he is such a sweet darling because when i called him at 6.30pm, he was queuing at the clinic to get a queue number before coming home to fetch me. but, because when i tried to get out, it was so painful that i was crying when i tried to move so der decided that he is bringing me to the hospital a&e.
so ttsh we went, and after almost 2 hours of waiting, i finally saw the doc. did an ultrasound on my stomach (kidneys look good), did a urine test (clear), had an x-ray and was given a jab to curb the pain and put under observation for an hour. the verdict? i could have torn one of the muscles while i was doing exercises (huh?!), and i was to refrain from any form of exercise for 6 weeks!
gawd.
6 weeks! no more hula hooping. 🙁
and 2 days MC to rest and drowsy medication to take. urgh. the pain is still present but it wasn’t as excruciating as before so it makes me more mobile in some sense and it’s no longer a torture to lie down to get some rest.
and so, i thought i burst my stomach or something because every time i eat, i had contracting sensations from abdominal area.
and its a good thing that i am on mc, because i have had diarrhea non stop since 6am this morning and the tummy is really acting up. didn’t get much rest considering that i reach home past midnight after the visit to the hospital.
just had my lunch and medication and i can already feel the effects of the medication knocking me out soon.
have a great week people. i hate to be down and out of action.

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.
