Post Surgery

Had my gallbladder removed on Monday. It went really well. 
I really was in good hands. 
The doc, anaesthesist, nurses were so helpful. 

Discharged was A LOT faster than public hospital.  Private is soooo much better :)

So I had the surgery at about 9:30 am. Was in an observation room for 2 hours. My o2 level was pretty low so they hooked me up with an O2 mask for almost 24 hours. 

Post surgery was fine. Until about 6 pm, the pain kicked in. I was a cry baby. I was sobbing and now I feel really embarrased! 

At about 3 am, they had to put a catheter :( because Mu bladder was full, but I couldn't get it out. They told me it was probably because of the anaesthesia. 

Now the other annoying side effect  for me: i have a super blur vision. As I typed this blog, I can barely see the letters. 

I remember having problem when I first had my endoscopy couple of months ago. This is very unpleasant. I kept blinking and trying to adjust my focus but it's still soooo blurry.

This photo probably look too gory for some people. But im gonna put it up here anyway for my future reference.


The top left and right was my gallbladder. Simon said my gallie is soooo small compares to others. He took it out and had a look at different part of my body.
Bottom right was where my appendix used to be (took it out when I was 9).

Im back home now, still sore and one of the wound where they put a tube is still leaking, but they said it's normal. 

This is the tube before they took it out yesterday. Maan!!! It was soooooo painful when they pulled that thing out!

Those lines aren't stretch marks, those are from the tape. 

And this is when Emily pulled it off. 

Overall, it wasn't too bad. The bag filled up quite fast, the nurse drained it twice in 6 hours.


I know I look hideous, but heeeyy at least im smiling. Unlike this below I was still under GA.


This blue blanket was soooo comfortable with heating pads all over. 



Intinya.... all the rest of my organs look ok kata Simon.  So hopefully this will settle everything. 

In terms of food.... i can thankfully say that I can eat pretty much anything and not feel nauseaus. So far I have no diarrhea. No more urine retention. All good. Just need to be patient to get rid of the soreness.

Bucket List

Yep. Been hearing a lot about people dropped dead suddenly. Mulai dari si Adjie Masaid, babenya si Joshua, then just now Emma's friend juga Dadaism died of heart attack. She was 29 years old, just got ,arrayed last October. Life is so fragile. That's why I really hate Andi each time I have to remind him over and over again about healthy lifestyle. Anyway, decided to make a bucket list for myself. 1. Back to NZ 2. Sky dive 3. Vacation to Russia 4. Having more than enough funds for Onya to pursue her degree in England, Oxford University preferably :) 5. Ngeliat Andi punya bodi keren 6. Buying a house for my parents 7. Karet tengsin dijual Hmmm....... Belon kepikiran yg lawn. Nanti di update lg deh

Pippy

We have a new addition in the family. We adopted a Jack Russell from SPCA.  Kenapa anjing? Karena seumur idup gua, for as long as I can remember, gua selalu punya anjing. Bukan cuma sekedar "miara" loh, tapi yg bener2 part of the family.  Yg paling membekas itu tentu aja Piko ama Picca my last two dogs.  Kakah died when I was about 5 months pregnant with Onya. Jadi Onya sama sekali ga sempet ketemu my dogs.  Makin kesini gw makin yakin, kalo animals play an important role in kids life (at least di idup gw lah). They learn about responsibility, caring and most importantly compassion. I wanna give a chance buat Onya ngerasain apa yg gw rasain ke Piko n Kakah. The gift of unconditional friendship they gave... And how u learn to love them too.  Kenapa adopt? Karena saya ini agak2 idealis tapi realistis. I love animals. Dogs especially.  Idealis karena gw mau do the right thing YG GW BISA. Realistis karena, as much I want to.... Gw ga akan sanggup kl disuru jadi...

Another Random Post

It is perhaps a monumental probability that I've simply forgotten what has kept me here. Or evidently, what I have fought so hard for. What wind could be so strong, it banishes hundreds of acres of oaks, yet still ever so gentle enough to persuade even the most delicate of buds to move with, barely, an inch-long effort. My God, seeing kunyuk with that robe triggered something inside. I miss her. I know she'd worked soooo hard to be where she is now. I miss those moments. Though I must admit, maybe, just maybe... Im not running for the same dream anymore. The passion still there, ... it's just become a smaller part of me. Could I have waited this long, and demolished five full years of emotional barricade? Nah. I've walked too far to even think of steeping back. What faith could have, so morbidly, left my judgement impaired? The first scar may be the deepest, but a scar is a scar. ... and one left to bleed without stitches is bound to come undone. Tapi guess what? Im hea...
