Nova Scotia Family Pharmacare Program

Nova Scotia Family Pharmacare Program  is for those who needs help with paying for their prescription and are of lower income.  No you need not be on welfare or any disability, although i guess if you are .. you should automatically be in this program..??  Well, as far as I have been in Canada, I know that there are people who are abusing this system.  Knowing that they can afford to pay $150 to do their hair or to go for a huge feast everytime they get their checks, makes me wanna puke.  But yes, these people are on some kinda of program that allows them to pay nothing for medication and dental care.  Lucky them you would think – so for those who are working part time or not earning alot, you too can apply for it and save the application on a flash drive if you can’t print the forms out in the office.

Pap Smear

I know..! i know..! everyone hates the pap smear test and so do i but once it is done, it is definitely a relieve.  I had mine done last Tuesday .. more than a week ago .. and no results yet.  But the gynae had said it might take longer.. coz’ it had been crazy busy at the lab lately.  Oh well.. ! guess no news is good news..?? but  me .. being the paranoid person.. you can understand i won’t rest at east .. till i hear back from them.. and get a clearing.  And then i need to go do my blood sugar test soon.  Arrghhhh..!!!

9 Months After Hysterectomy

So yes.. 9 months into my full hysterectomy.. what’s going on..??  well.. i had a scare a month ago .. with very, very light spotting.  When to see my gynae a week ago.. still in some pains.. on some days.  But i noticed the pain is bad.. when Missy Moo.. doesn’t let me sleep well during the nite.  Good thing .. we own our own business.. else we would be in huge trouble.. from not getting into work on time.

I am still waiting for my pap smear results to come out and according to my family doctor … i had to start taking baby aspirin.. just because i’m diabetic. Lucky for those with jobs in finance because they wouldn’t be as stressed as we are .. owning a store .. and having to deal with awful ppl at times.

New Gynae

So yes,  I finally met my new gynae that took over all the patients from Dr Mukherjee .. my ex- gynae.  Fortunately, even though all the doctors are located in steel buildings, my new gynae was an awesome doctor who has good bedside manners.   Very soft spoken.. and very, very detailed in explaining.. and reassuring too.  I’m so glad i will be having a good gynae, nothing is worst than having a bad doctor.

Update On My Pain 8 Months After Hysterectomy

Yesterday.. i still had some kinda pain.. but i had taken it really easy.. and didn’t stress myself at all.  I sat for abit.. stood for abit.. and tried not to bend over too much.  But today.. i woke up not feeling any pain at all.. but by evening.. i was beginning to feel some prickly pain.. since i sat more today.. to do work on the computer.  I also noticed that after carry half a basketful of groceries.. i was beginning to feel lousy on the tummy too.. so i changed to a cart instead.  I don’t know if they are pyschological .. or it is really true.. that i cannot carry heavy stuff no more… *sigh*.  10 yrs more is all i asked .. so that i can wait till Missy Moo grows up .. before leaving her side.  Having a mom .. but not that kinda attention .. or time.. for us.. it was very sad for me.  So i don’t want Missy Moo to  have a mom.. but one who cannot do nothing with her.
