life with a view.
I am feeling poorly, both in health and mental being. visits to the doc has been frequent and today’s visit and a ‘procedure’ landed me with 4 days mc with 2 days of compulsory bed rest. no shopping, no marketing, no walking of long distance, no carrying of heavy stuff (my son included) and just complete rest. knowing how stressful it can get at home with the hyperactive, sticky, superglue kid that I have, there is absolutely no way I can get any rest at all. the moment I reached home this evening after the visit to the doc, my mum declared that she’s too tired and immediately left…

man, i pulled the trigger.
or what seems like it. I have been dealing with pain in my finger for about a week plus. when it first started, I saw the company GP who prescribed painkillers and said it should heal. fast forward to today, this is how my fingers looked like.. I couldnt extend my ring finger straight. it was getting really, really stiff, and that was what triggered the alarm bells in me. that, and a swollen lump at my palm and this 'clicking' sensation when I bend and straighten my finger (with the help of the other hand). oh, and of cos swollen finger as well. I haven't been able to fit…

about my hearing loss.
or discovery of it. or rather, the confirmation of it. i always felt like i had an ear infection all my life. sometimes, it bothered me, sometimes, not. and i had this vague memory of being put through a hearing test when i was a kid, when i was in this sound proof room and asked to put on ear phones. But i can’t recall why, and my mum says she has absolutely no recollection of it at all. and obviously, i didn’t know what was wrong. or that, i wasn’t really ‘normal’. till one fine day, when der was showing off his newly bought automatic watch and asked me…

Week 39 and 3 days – doc’s prescription = sex
Popped by the gynae again this morning and was a little disappointed. In the past, I look forward to the gynae visits so that I can see Jerry on the ultrasound machine. These days, I look forward to the visits hoping that the doc will say.. Oh, you should admit into hospital for delivery. Of cos, that didn’t happen which explains my disappointment. Haha. Baby’s weighing 2.9kg today, just 100grams heavier than last week..Seems a little small! Is it the fact that I stopped taking the multivits and fish oil? Somehow, they spoil my appetite and I usually end up vomiting on the days I do remember to take them…

the long weekend and my grouses.
just so.. i am bored! spent the day napping around, reading blogs, eating and managing the pain. it is getting worse by the day and i wonder if Jerry’s gonna pop soon! it’s not so much about the pain that’s getting to me, it’s the frustration of immobility and the fact that i can’t seemed to do simple tasks that frustrates me to no end these days, like how it takes triple the amount of time for me to walk to the kitchen and get myself a glass of water to drink. and also the fact the things seemed to go a little slow-mo for the active me. i’m seriously…

The miserable slob that I am..
Or turning into. I’m not sure if the home rest with the doc’s mc is a good thing. I’m definitely one of those that treasure my mobility A LOT, and being stuck at home in pain is no fun. Especially since I can’t really find a comfortable position to lie in for long without feeling aches and pain especially with the weight that im bearing. I still remember when I had that ligament surgery some years back, I snuck out in the evening with my crutches on the day I was discharged from the hospital, much to the horror of my mum. Yes, never mind that I hopped into a…

Week 38 & 4 days
This week’s update is late, mainly because I wanted to capture the gynae’s visit and updates here as well, which happened yesterday. Well, well.. Almost at the end! I could feel it physically, literally. The usual swim session on Sunday didn’t happen last weekend. The boy refused to let me go as I was suffering from pelvic pain (feels like the bone is mis-aligned) and I could hardly raise my left leg at all. Walking is a pain with every single step and I cannot put any pressure without feeling the pain.. So instead of waddling like most preggie women do, I waddle with a limp. It’s quite a sight…

Weekend fun.
Last weekend saw us spending quite a bit of time at the hospital.. Oh. On the health front, I finally got der to check out his neck with an orthopedic. Helps that I was familiar with it since I tore my ligament some 6 years back and I set an appointment for him. He saw the doc once 2 weeks ago, got a MRI scan done and last weekend, we reviewed the scan with the doc. Planned it in conjunction with all our antenatal class so it was perfect. The scan results did show that he had a slightly worn out disc in his neck that’s probably causing the pain…

Double pricked.
This has never happened to me before. Being pricked twice because there was no blood flowing. I secretly think it’s because the angle of the needle didn’t go in well and the Missy just turned the needle in my right arm trying to find the blood source, concurrently asking if I’m fine. Like at least 5 times! I remained silence in most bit until I got annoyed with the asking and told her (coolly), “ya. Pain.” What you want me to say? It’s not really painful, just annoying and frustrating to see the needle go everywhere and they cannot see the blood source. And finally, a bulge came up undeneath…
