Jungle Jim’s & Healthy Food..!!

I received a email from Jungle Jim’s and they too are going the slim quick way as well.  Looks like chicken is the way to go.. if you want healthy food.. plus loads of vegies steamed .. minus the dressing .. and cheese on top.  But would the Canadians eat their vegies without the dressing..?? Seriously doubt so.  You wouldn’t believe how much dressing they asked for .. even when they claimed that they are eating healthy.. or going on a diet.  It was to funny to watch.. without laughing and looking and behaving rude.

Lice Alert

Now that Missy Moo is in school, you can imagine our fear of her bringing home lice because of the other children from school.  One of the things we teach Missy Moo not to do is, not to share combs with other girls in her class.. nor other classes.  But is that all we can do ..  i asked myself.  The fact is lice do not care if you have a dirty head or a clean one.. or if you kid has long hair or short. But if your kid has long hair like Missy Moo then you should try and keep them tied up so that it does not get into direct contact with an infected person..  or one can always try using leave in condition or styling conditioner, so that the lice will have a hard time.. staying onto the hair.  But having said that.. how can we try and do all these .. for a kid who don’t like anything put on her hair.. or have her hair tied up in a pony tail. *sigh*

Business Center In Our Hospital Back Home

I kid you not.  A check with my girlfriends from home.. and they tell me that they brought their laptops to the hospital with them.. when they had an operation or were having their babies, plus there were business centers in the different level of the hospital with coffee makers and fax machines and all.  While i was told that there were no Wi-fi even for me to tap into during my stay in the hospital of this town.  And the reason..?? for fear of patients private information leaking out.  *slap forehead*

Operation Theatre

For those who have never been into an operation room, you wouldn’t know how cold and weird it feels to be in it.  In fact, I’ll have to say .. i hate it.  They move you using a  linear motion bed like equipment.. and even though i was kinda drowsy.. i knew exactly what they were doing.   But i guess without equipments like that.. it would be hard to move patients like myself around the hospital eh.

When Easterly Showers Fall On Sunny West Episode 3 To Unwind

Watch When Easterly Showers Fall On Sunny West Episode 3 to unwind .. and relieve some stress.. and it does work.  I don’t know what other people do to unwind but i watch my favorite chinese tvb shows .. at the end of the day.  I try and watch some when i am at work.. but nothing beats.. watching it at nite. .when Missy Moo is sleeping. .and eating my favourite snack.. or my chinese noodles.  What about you ..?? what do you do to unwind at the end of the day..??

Sex & Hysterectomy

Every now and then.. i get ppl telling me that after your hysterectomy.. you will feel so good.. and that one would jump right back.. and have sex like you never had before… hahhahhahaha!! Ya .. right..!!!  anyone telling you something like that.. they are either .. trying to kid you ..or trying to kid themselves.

I think the part where sex like you never had before.. is prolly due to the fact that you don’t have to worry about getting pregnant again.. and that the man don’t have to use the condom.  i guess some men don’t like it..  and some women they don’t like it either.  Well.. don’t get me wrong.. i’m not turning this blog into a sex discussion place.  But I wanted to share some insight about what is going on with my hysterectomy and the after op scenario.

There is no right and wrong time to have sex .. after your hysterectomy.. i would think.  It would all depend on yourself..and how comfortable you are.  Some ppl like me experienced more pain than others.. while others who have had their ovaries taken out are still having hot flushes.. and feeling sweaty all the time.  While others may have spinal pain.. and the rest goes on.

No one can tell you .. what you feel.. you know it yourself.  But i can assure you .. there will be no .. horny bunnies around.. for a long time.. because like myself.. it’s awfully uncomfy.. the stabbing pain comes on and off.. and during this weekend.. i found a constant dull pain on the side of my stomach.. and that wasn’t even near any of my operation scars.. or my laporascopic.

So yes.. sex after hysterectomy.. will come.. i’m sure.. but take it easy.. and you should always listen to your body.. to tell you if you are ready.  It’s exactly like when you just had your baby.. and women practice some common sense eh.

4 Months After Hysterectomy

4 months after my first operation, my hysterectomy and for those who were not aware of this.. i had an emergency operation 10 days after my hysterectomy.  They said it was a partial bowel obstruction .. but till today .. i still strongly believed that it wasn’t.  But because i wanted to go home so badly to my daughter.. i let them go in and take a look at my tummy because after so many x-rays.. and CT scan .. they don’t have the exact cause for it.

Anyhow, 4 months later.. i’m here.. and feeling a lot better.  Where once upon a time, i thought i would never get to sleep ever again.. because of the pain .. i had after 2 operations.. everything seems to be getting better.. i still have a little pain.. but they are not the same as when i first came outta the hospital.. or even a month ago.  So women out there.. i want you to know that there is hope.  And keeping my ovaries was the best thing .. my gynaecologist .. Dr Muhkerjee did for me.

After so many months, i am also pleased to report that i hardly need pain killer these days…  but that does not mean .. that it doesn’t hurt when i over-stretch myself.  So take it as easy as you can.. and as long as you can.  Sitting too long or walking too long is still a no-no for me.. and every once in a while..i feel a sharp pain where my lower abdomen is.

My skin condition .. the dryness seems to have gone.. and the only think i have to complain .. is that my hair is still falling .. A LOT .. in my opinion.  The next time.. i see my doctor.. i’m gonna asked him about it.  The blood work that i did about 2 weeks ago.. i have yet to hear from my family doctor.. so i’m guessing that everything is alright.  If you have any questions.. you can absolutely feel free to ask me.. by leaving a comment.  My advice to anyone who have had a hysterectomy..??  is to take it easy.. everyone is different.. and don’t let others tell you otherwise.. ! they are not you.

The Four Episode 23 Is Relaxing

Watching TVB Series .. like The Four Episode 23 can actually help one to relax and relieve stress.  Don’t believe me..??  hop over to my entertainment blog and watch it yourself.. and you tell me.  We chinese have so many kind of chinese tvb series.. to help us amuse ourselves.  The other tvb shows i loved best is Gem of Life and I’m watching Gem of Life Episode 5 now.  If you want to watch it .. and relax… just hop over to my entertainment blog.  I assure you it is a real stress reliever.

Tummy Support For Hysterectomy

When you do have a hysterectomy.. this is one of the best thing .. that you could buy for yourself to be worn straight after the operation.  They called it the swelly belly band.. and it’s not expensive.. and you wear it under your clothes and washable too..!! Hyster Sisters is the place to go it.

I recommend it .. because when you are just after your operation .. or even when you are after your operation .. this band will help support your tummy and makes it a lot easier for you to move around.. and especially when you need to cough, sneeze and even laugh… this is definitely what you want to get.  Plus if you are going out for a walk or even for a visit to the hosptal, you don’t have to be like me, walking around.. and holding to your tummy, now that can look very strange to ppl who never had anyone who had a tummy operation.

Thinning Of Hair

Seriously, I thought my  hair loss days were over but this morning I just told the spouse that I’m dropping hair like no one’s business again! And here I thought with my hemoglobin up and fibroids out it was gonna help.  Well apparently I was wrong.  For me it’s the fear of one day waking up no hair at all left that is frightening me.  I’ve seen woman of the same age as myself and they still have a head full of hair, and boy am I mad!

If you are like me you are not alone and I know how you feel. But I’m kind of a wuss and don’t want to have surgeries or any kind of needles stuck into my head, so here is what I read, Los Angeles hair loss therapy can help and it looks like they can restore one’s hair naturally.  No invasive surgeries or harsh medication or any side effects.  “So what do they do?” I hear my girlfriends asking.  At Aventi Laser Hair Therapy they reverse your hair condition by naturally stimulating the growth of your hair follicles. This method helps promote the blood flow to the area where your hair follicles are, I guess what my grandmother used to say and practice is somewhat similar because she used to massage her scalp a lot too, explaining that it would help the hair become healthy.   You can always go in for a free consultation with no obligation at all. I’m going to read more about it because my hair and my head needs it.

I’m Hairier..!

No.. !! not that way.. or not my head.. or on top of my head.  But had anyone who had a hysterectomy recently noticed that their belly looks a lot hairier..?? or is there even such a word..?? i kid you not.. i noticed it .. a month after my hysterectomy.. but now i’m pretty sure.  Is it normal.. ??  wait .. i’ll check with Brenda.. and then the gynae.. which incidentally i should be going back to see soon .. for a follow up.

Emergency Department

The emergency department of the town i lived in has some kind of security systems at the entrance whereby you need to get buzzed in.  I actually don’t think it made a lot of sense since everyone who are going in there.. should be having an emergency right..?? and what if they needed to get in  .. like right now..?  But this is our town we are talking about..  not a lot of things make sense.

Pregnant Symptoms

Feeling some of the above or all..??  well .. you know why now… kekekkeke!! thought i would share this with you .. so you know that you are really pregnant if you had any doubts.

No Shower For 1.5 Months

I kid you not..!! after my 2nd operation .. i didn’t have a shower for 1.5 months..! you wonder how i can take it right..?  well.. i was quite the desperate to get that laparoscopic surgery hole to close .. so i would have eaten Monkey’s brain again. .if i had to.  Luckily, i didn’t get any acne at all on my body. I knew my face was safe.. coz’ i do clean my face everyday right.. and washed my hair over the sink. .every other day.  But no shower was hard.. ! i don’t know how some people don’t like to shower. .it was killing me.  What about you ..?? can you do without a shower..??

The Pain

A check with Brenda, the babysitter’s mother who had her hysterectomy done in February sorta assured me about the pain i was feeling for the last few days.  She said she is still experiencing pain.. and more because she doesn’t have her ovaries intact unlike myself.  So her body is producing enough estrogen.  So ok folks..! an update. .no need to fret.  And in fact this morning.. i started out good.. with no pain at all.. but after 6pm. .that pain came back. ! what a bummer.  Brenda had said.. that her pain was like menses pains.  Anyone got any issues..??

Dental Appointment

In Canada, for kids under the age of 12 i think they get free dental care.. but wait a minute..!  when they say free.. they are not entirely free.  Free for only once a year, so anytime your kid has a broken teeth or a problem with rotting teeth, you still have to pay for it.   But the government is willing to spend millions of dollars on buildings that are not even fully utilized.. but perhaps need some spider traps, just because they are under used.  How can the town that i am in justify something like that..? and not give medical care fully to their next generation…??  it’s beyond me.

My Hospital Stay

During my hospital stay.. and those times.. that i had gone visiting someone in the hospital, I noticed. .that there weren’t much seats for visitors.  But i guess that’s alright.. since they feel that the patient shouldn’t have too many visitors.. but what about those .. like Mr Moo.. who had to stay with me 24hrs a day..?? so that i wouldn’t get any panic attack.. or even for myself.. when i needed to sit up.  I figured.. with all the money the hospital gets.. from us staying in it.. about $1700 a night. .more expensive than a suite in the Westin Hotel.. you would think they would give you some better seating or some home theater seating to make you comfortable eh..?  but nope..! apparently they think that some hard and horrid chairs.. are great.  Go figure..!

A Dull Pain After Hysterectomy

Well..!! i guessed i spoke too soon eh..!  i’m feeling a kind of dull pain on one side of my tummy almost 3 month and a week or so after my first sugery.  But it might be from stress too.. for i’m going thru’ a little trying time ..  with Missy Moo and home.

I started taking pain killers again. .only when it hurts.. so usually once or twice a day.  If this continues. .i’m gonna make an appointment with my family doctor . .and we’ll go from there.  And no news about my blood test.. so i guess it is good news..?

A Common Fact Of Hysterectomy

I had been asked many a times.. after my hysterectomy .. if my menses started again or not… because my ovaries are intact.  But the fact is.. i was a wee bit shocked.. that people would assumed.. that after a hysterectomy .. you can still have menses.  Well.. the truth and fact is this.. nope.. i never had my menses again.. because the whole uterus had been taken out.  I often wonder too.. about the ovaries.. and the egg producing thingie .. since my ovaries are intact.  But i’ve yet to see my new gynaecologist..  but i would definitely ask him.. if i see him next.  Dr Mukhajee who did my hysterectomy .. left for Toronto .. for a better position.. and since he is a very ambitious .. and knowledgeable surgeon/specialist in this area.. i certainly don’t blame him for wanting to leave this small town. Well.. so now you have it.. after my Hysterectomy.. NO MENSES.. BABE..!!!  No more pads.. no more tampoons.. muahahhhaa!!
