IWK is a hospital up in the city - Halifax.. and I had been there several times for immigration purposes and when i was pregnant with Missy Moo. The place was darn packed and crowded.. i’ll have to say.. but each time i was there.. the waiting time.. was a lot shorter than the hospital here in town.  Having said that.. when i had that emergency operation.. and was puking my guts out.. i was taking in right away.  But the hospital in the city .. seems a lot more organized from what i’ve seen or more doctors perhaps..??  Even their computer systems seems a lot more advance compared to the ones here.. whereby sometimes.. they can’t find my information.  Some Apple memory may work good for them.. since they are using the Mac systems for the whole hospital eh..??  But that’s only one part solve .. I still think they need more doctors.

I had planned to get some angel hooks for the nurses of the hospital in town… for the many comfort they brought to me .. during my stay in the hospital .. some 6 months ago.  I was staying on the 4th Floor East Wing.. and the nurses were awesome.  But i didn’t managed to get enough angels.. so instead.. i’m gonna send this cookies from Santa instead… plus try to find the nurse who bathed me.. when i was sick.  She was the best nurse ever..!!!

We were at the hospital to see the family doctor yesterday.. and although it is so near Christmas.. it was kinda depressing that they didn’t really focus on decorating and cheering the sick people in the hospital nor the nurses.  Nurses needs cheering up too yer know.. afterall, they really do a lot more than the doctors..  even though the doctors get paid so much more.. and get so much more respect.  If i had the time.. i would definitely go rally for the nurses.  And for those who knows me.. you would know that i’m gung-ho about stuff like that.  What about you ..?? have you been touched lately by the nurses.. in your area..??  if so, share it with me.. and i will highlight their name on my blog.

We must be having some kinda luck lately with our family doctor’s office.  Not only did we get to see him like immediately today.. as soon as we called.. it’s a miracle.. that he gave sample medication to Missy Moo to bring home.  It’s funny .. how Missy Moo was so impressed with our family doctor.  But it was pretty cool.. in fact we went out to get him a Christmas card today… instead of getting our pet supplements.  You see .. it really doesn’t take much to please us.. just a whole box of kid’s tylenol. muahahahhaa!!

I called the hospital today.. on a mission to get the nurses name on the 4th floor surgical ward but only to be told.. that records only goes back to September.  The nurse who spoke to me.. transferred me to the HR department for assistance.  I left a message at 2.15pm this afternoon.. but no return call as of yet.  Here i am trying to do something nice.. for the hardworking nurses.. and this is what i get..?? Hmmmm… !

Having said that.. the accounts department is very efficient though.  I’m not saying .. i get my bills or get chased for medical bills.. but when i called to ask for my records from a few years ago, they got back to me immediately.  I can’t remember the name of the lady..  but I know for sure.. she is french.   So lets hope the HR dept don’t disappoint me.. coz’ i need to go get my angels.

I am grateful for the few nurses that helped me.. when i was in the hospital.  A few that made my stay there bearable.   Yes, the nurses do make some money.. but the things they do for me.. when i was in the hospital.. i doubt even my sister would do the same for me.

And to these nurses.. i really think they deserve more than they are currently paid.  These nurses showered me.. washed my hair.. took my poop out from the washroom.. to have it examined by the lab.  They really took care of me.. on the 4th floor .. of the Yarmouth Regional Hospital.

So this Christmas, I hope to get enough angel hooks..and give each of them one.  Tomorrow.. I am gonna call the hospital and get their names.  Hopefully, I can make them feel appreciated.

At 43 .. my girlfriend gets really upset . they don’t see any wrinkles on my face.  They say i’m darn lucky.. but they don’t really know my secret.. because i take Lipovox but when i tell them about it.. they think i am kidding.  But i kid you not .. because it not only help burn fat, get rid of those ugly acne .. and also reduces wrinkles. Try it for yourself.. if you don’t believe me.

Yes, after my surgeries .. i have been trying to tone up for a real Christmas celebration this year.  Some had asked if i was on diet pills because of my hysterectomy.. and the doctor had taken out my huge fibrioids.   I mean c’mon it was the size of a new born.. so you can imagine .. how pregnant i looked right..??  So even with the pills.. you can see a real difference… even the spouse’s father don’t get a chance to tease me anymore about my tummy.. and wondering if i was really sure it was not a baby inside me.  In which the man replied . ..  “if it was a baby .. then the baby is a few years old now.”

The local supermarket invited a doctor to talk about diabetes and how one can get cure from diabetes.  I am indeed quite skeptical .. but if i didn’t go.. i wouldn’t know what it is right..?? so i did sign up for it.. and it’s scheduled for the 13th December.  So is there really a cure for diabetes..?? I can be hopeful eh..??  but i’m not raising my hopes too high. In the meantime, i better watch my diet.. coz’ i think i’m taking too much starch still.  Starch and diabetes donch go together.. because starch spike up the blood sugar.  So moderation is the key to anyone who has Type 2 diabetes.  Stay tune while i report back on the diabetes talk.

I have never seen signs like that in any of our hospital back home.. or the doctor’s office.  But here in Canada.. you see lots of signs and rules to inform you way ahead of time. .that if you are rude to your doctor, they can not take you in as a patient.  Now isn’t it too funny..?? or is there a problem in the health care system here.. that they are so blind and refused to acknowledge it nor addressed it..??  Back home, going to see our doctor .. is like visiting a friend.. here.. they don’t even have  promotional pens to give you during Christmas.. !! sad eh..!!

Arrrghhh..!! i’m putting on weight after 5 months into my surgery.. and i donch know why..?? not like i eat a lot of different food.  Afterall.. there is nothing good to eat here.  I think it is the sitting around too much .. since i work on the computer a lot.  I have to be careful.. otherwise.. i would look like i did before i had my fibroids taken out.  Phentermine here i come..!!

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..??

When Easterly Showers Fall On The Sunny West Episode 6 is what i am watching right now.. but can cause one high blood pressure .. muaahahhaha!! it’s true.. !! it’s so exciting..!  If you want to get your blood pressure up.. you know what to do eh.  But once you start.. you know you can’t stop.. it’s much too exciting.

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.

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.
