The Joys Of Emergency Rooms

For those who knows me.. you would know that I had traveled the world for business and vacations and had many times been into the emergency rooms of various hospital.. in different countries.  In most countries that I had been too.. i’ll have to say .. that they take care of the children first.. and then the old folks.. and of course the rest later.

I do like the nurses .. and doctors of this hospital.. but something is wrong .. when you let a sick kid sit for 6 hours.. before getting to see the doctor.  Obviously, my kid is sick.. else you think we wanna spend a Sunday in the hospital..??   6hrs .. for a kid who is not even 5 yrs old yet.. to wait for the doctor is pure sin.   But of course, having said that.. i know they had some emergency.. and only 1 doctor running the whole hospital so they said.  Which in my humble opinion is not right.  Plus, the doctor could definitely take a look at my kid .. and let us go.. afterall.. he took but 5 mins..!!!

This was how sick my kid was.. we waited inside the waiting room for another hour.. after we were called in.. before the doctor saw us.. and sent us home without any medication.  I don’t think this is right.. that Yarmouth Regional Hospital had only one emergency doctor running the whole hospital.

If i ever return home .. and never come back to Canada.. this health department is definitely gonna be the main reason .. why i am leaving.  I cannot bear to see my kid suffer this many hours.. and can only get to see the doctor .. after 12 hrs.  There were but 6 patients ahead of us.. and i really think that it was wrong.  There were so many nurses.. and all they were doing were sitting around and chatting.  When we were in the emergency room.. it wasn’t even busy.  I’m mad..??  yes .. for sure.. !! as an adult.. it’s ok.. to wait this long.. but this is my kid you are talking about.  This is wrong..!

Missy Moo Is Sick

What a Sunday..!!!  we had to bring Missy Moo to Emergency at the Yarmouth Regional Hospital and here I thought I can do a little bit of shopping last weekend.. and go get some laptop memory .. *sigh* !!  I don’t know if i was too paranoid or what..?? but can i helped it..?? since it was Missy Moo who was puking and having diarrhea..??  Having had surgery because of the same system.. i didn’t want Missy Moo to suffer anymore than she should.. because i wait for 6 hours.. before going to the hospital.  By that time.. i was so weak.. i could hardly stand.. but Mr Moo.. still didn’t call the ambulance… *slap forehead*.

So yes.. I panic.. and make Mr Moo send us to the Emergency room. .and waited for 6 hrs.. before we saw a doctor.. to be told to go home.. and wait it out.  Wonderful..!!!  and we didn’t really need to have gone at all..??  Maybe, next time.. i shouldn’t panic.

Strange Pain After Hysterectomy 5.5 Months

Two days ago, I started experiencing a strange kinda pain in my abdomen.. and it lasted for a good 2 days.  i took lots of ibuprofen yesterday. .and it didn’t seems to helped.  I don’t know what to make outta it.. but this morning. .after a good 9 hrs of rest/sleep.. i am feeling a lot better.. but it is the other side that seems to hurt more now.  Strange..!! i’m gonna monitor it.. and will see my family doctor or my gyane .. earlier.. if it persist… or even the general surgeon.

Stress Prevention

Not enough time to get everything done, and feeling tired all the time, is how many people would describe themselves.  I am no different, having little time for anything else except for taking care of my brat, doing the housework and running the business. Top it off with trying to recover from a major surgery some 5 months ago,  you can imagine all the pent up frustration one can get.  You are not alone, if you can identify with any of the above.

If you are like me and get worked up easily, or know of someone who is destructive or wants to hurt themselves and/or others, it could be stress related.  Don’t fret because prevention of stress and acknowledging that you need help is the first step to a better living. There is help! I’ve bookmarked this website called Stress Institute because I know I get stressed out easily and I need wellness in my life.  Taking the first step by visiting this website is my way of reaching for help.  What about you?

Ume Balls

A very kind reader who read my blog about my trouble with wind in my tummy recommended that i try Ume Balls.  Looks like a very effective way to get rid of wind.. the natural way.  And you all know how i feel about the al natural medication. Of course, some research work had to be done. And it is said that the Ume is rich in organic acids and mineral and helps to maintain the body.  It is even safe for woman who are pregnant.. so that must already say something right..??

Anyhow.. the Ume ball is said to be good for various kinda illnesses or health related issues.  It is said to promote vitality, retard aging and maintain slimness too.  And lots of other good stuff, I’m gonna give it a try.

Thank You .. YokiWong..!

What Changed After My Surgeries..?

To say that nothing in my body changed after my surgery is a lie .. but to say that i won’t do the surgery because of these change is also not true.  One thing for sure.. about changes is the wind in my tummy whenever i don’t eat on time.  It was already bad before.. but now it’s worst.  I wonder what will happen when i travel to las vegas nevada and sight-seeing tours last for hours.. without stopping for a bite.  Yes..!! the wind in my tummy can get wicked..!!!!

Bathroom In Yarmouth Regional Hospital

I was staying on the 4th floor when i was hospitalized the second time this year.  Either there is a ghost on the 4th floor or something was really wrong with the plumbing.  You would think such a huge hospital would have gotten their electrician or plumber fixed the darn thing.. but nope.. the toilet bowl had hot water .. everytime you flushed.  Thus you cannot pee or poop in the toilet bowl.. the darn thing was steaming hot.  And they can’t do nothing about it.  And for someone who was in there for stomach problems..  you can imagine.. what an agony it was for me.  It was no kidding at all!!  luckily they had these tankless water heater for the shower.. and the water was always hot .. now that was a consolation, plus the nurses on the 4th floor were they greatest.. so i really shouldn’t complain too much… for i wouldn’t want to go back to the maternity ward.. no way..!! thank you very much.

I Still Have Fear 4 Months After My Hysterectomy

On Tuesday nite.. Wednesday morning.. Missy Moo was ill .. and my stomach was not feeling too well.  Already uneasy .. in the early evening .. i decided to go to bed  early .. but i had to wake up at 12.30am.. because i felt like throwing up again.

Didn’t get to throw up.. but had to poop.. which i did.. and went back to bed .. to rest.. after.  But i had that same kind of cold sweat.. and didn’t take me long.. before i had to wake up again to poop.  Boy..!! was i darn frightened man..!! because 4 months ago.. after my hysterectomy.. this was what happened.  With Missy Moo sick and all.. how would you feel as a mother.. to think that you might have to drag her out of bed.. because you needed to go to the hospital again.

It turned out.. it wasn’t the same thing.. i didn’t need to go to the hospital.. but on that nite or wee hours in the morning.. i cannot helped but felt extreme fear.  At times like this.. i wished i was home.. in Singapore.. and also at times like this… i sure wished .. i had my own family and friends to call upon for help.

But for those who might be thinking that i was over paranoid.. yer absolultey right man..!!! but can you blame me .. after all that i had gone thru’.. ?? I know for sure.. that had i been back home.. the fibroids would have had been taken out .. a long, long time ago.

Gems of Life Episode 14 A Calming Effect

Surprising Gems of Life Episode 14 has a calming effect more than the excitment that we had been getting lately.  First of all. . Missy Moo got sick.. on Tuesday.. and on Tuesday nite.. i had a frightening nite…!!  what i hear you asking..??  Yes.. the same feeling and churning of the tummy i had exactly 4 months ago.  I thought i was gonna puke and everything.. !! oh my God..!! you wouldn’t believed .. how i felt that day..!! it was terrible..!!!  I feel ok now.. i had been taking it easy on the food ..  didn’t eat much on Wednesday either.  Missy Moo is feeling better to go to school.. and i’ll prolly start eating again today.  I know i was being paranoid.. but when you are in that situation .. truly.. you don’t know what to think.  I guess.. had i been in Singapore.. i wouldn’t be this frightened.. because public transport is ever ready.. but not here. So i would have had to drag Mr Moo and Mr Moo outta bed.. to send me to the hospital.. and that would sux..! big time..!!!  why do they need to suffer with me.. right..??

Update On Surgery Follow Up

Apparently, today’s appt was because Dr Murphy was afraid that my hernia was still there. According to Dr Murphy.. during my laposcopic surgery .. they ahd discover a small hernia .. and had removed it.. but it could come back.

So we were not late.. but they had wanted us to be 20mins earlier.. to wait for the doctor.  And even though we were “late” .. we still had to wait a few mins.  Of course, as usual.. he pressed my tummy.. and made me lift my shoulders.. and then pressed my tummy even more.. making me feel nausea.

But i was released.. no need to come back.. unless i feel that something wasn’t right.. or if i don’t feel well.  According to Dr Murphy.. to feel the pain .. i am having. is quite normal.  So for those out there.. who have had a hysterectomy..  just so you know.. donch panic.. if you feel a dull pain.  And that if you feel pain .. in areas not where your incisions were.. it is because of pulled muscles.. most likely.

For someone who had been in and out of the hospital as much as I was this year, you can imagine, how grateful I am with my health insurance company who came thru’ for me during my hospitalization.  If you are looking for a stable job that helps other then United American Insurance Company has something great positions to offer you.  Check out their website, since they cater to people from all over United States you will definitely find one around your area and maybe they could use your expertise.

Another Follow Up For My Laparoscopic Surgery

Come Monday, I have to go into the hospital once more for a follow up with Dr Murphy .. for my laparoscopic surgery .. i had on the 2nd July.  I know exactly .. what he is gonna asked.. and what he is gonna do.  He loves to jiggle my tummy..!! yes..!! you heard right..!! he thinks.. i shouldn’t have a little pouch.. even though i had a kid like 5 yrs ago.. and had a huge fibroid .. the size of a new born.  *nod*

But i do have joy going to ambulatory care in the hospital.. because the nurses there are wonderful people.  I think i should get them some Wayfarer sunglasses for christmas for one of the nurses was admiring it .. the other time.. i was there for a clean up of my open wound.
