A Calmer Me With Anti-Depressant?

So I’ve been on an anxiety medication aka anti-depressant for a month now – well almost.  I asked myself – if it really kept me calm and cool?  Most times it does – but this morning – I started ranting again – because Mr Moo was dilly-dallying to get ready for work and so was Missy Moo – while i needed to wash up – brush my teeth and get ready for work myself.  So i lost my cool -  so for those out there – thinking that it’s a magic pill – no it is not and i have no intention of increasing its dosage as per suggested by my physician.  I only decided to take it – because i don’t want to get any worst – for Missy Moo – and i’m only human right?  so if i do lose my cool once in a while  – so what?  bite me!

Refilling Your Prescription

So you all know I take a lot of medication – and you all know – if not – that i have a really bad habit – i never refill my medication – till i’m outta of it.   And i tend to forget to call in for my prescription till i get home.  So poor Mr Moo needs to rush out after sending us home and go to the pharmacy first before going back to open the store.

Usually, they are pretty quick – for they use a   barcode scanner at the cashier but of late – refilling my prescription can take as long as half an hour.  And then to wait to pay for it – takes even longer.  So just the other day – Mr Moo complained to me – that i should probably use Zellers instead because we never have to wait more than 10 minutes to get his prescription filled.  Or we have to let the owner know about this – because the prescriptions were called in – it’s not like they don’t have a barcode scanner – for scanning all their products – so why the delay ?  probably someone new working? or is it a new scanner that needs getting used to?

Stress At Work

For the last few months, we have been dealing with petty theft and things sold to us classified as “break and enter” .. which of course, we would not have any knowledge of .. in the first place.  But having said that all these time spent on trying to resolve them.. and talking to the cop.. and spending time talking to these ppl who got broken into .. is very stressful for me.  Maybe, I should go look for some sales manager jobs and not help the man with his store.  Less stress.. and less worry about all those money lost while we try so hard to be thrifty.

X-Ray For Missy Moo

Missy Moo was sick again yesterday.. a low grade fever.  We made an immediate appt to see her doctor again this afternoon.  The doc thinks it’s viral infection . .but just to be safe .. he wants a chest x-ray..  followed by some blood test.. and urine test/culture.

We’ve done the xray.. and she was pretty good about it.. according to Mr Moo .. i didn’t get to go.. because i needed to watch the store.  But it pretty much went well for everyone. I heard the radiologist were pretty good. .and even wore some  sexy wigs to distract her.  We are dreading the blood test.. to come next week. .if she still comes back with a fever.  But one has gotta do what you’ve gotta do eh.

Gem Of Life Ep 16 Amuse Yourself

Watch Gem of Life Episode 16 to amuse oneself .. is a very important part of my life.  I look forward to this sitcoms from home.. to kinda relieve my stress and my longing for home.  What about you ..?? what do you do.. when you miss home..?? Mr Moo sometimes wonder if it is such a good idea to watch.. because i can sometimes whine so much.. about missing this and that.. when i see them in ths shows.. hahahhaa!

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.

Wonderful Doctor..??

Was at the doctor’s a few weeks ago.. because the wound didn’t seems like healing properly.  Although it wasn’t oozing .. or having some foul smell.. i thought it would be best to go see him.. since i was developing a rash..which Mr Moo thinks it was from the anti-biotics.

Anyhow.. i started on another type of anti-biotic.. because the family doctor had taken a swap sample of the wound..the very first time i saw him.. and the culture results had come back.. so he was giving me the “right” type of anti-biotic again.  No sticker shock this time for the medication.. but he said something about us making “lots” of money.. so shouldn’t mind spending money on medication.. *slap forehead*.

Yes.. we do make quite abit of money.. but i want my money to go to Missy Moo’s future and education.. and her traveling around the world.. and of course our future.. and not spend .. 100s of dollars just on medication right..?? *shrug* .. but how lah.. to explain to the doctor.. when he would only see his patient.. one case at a time..??  C’est la vie… ??

2 Months Update After My Laporoscopic Surgery

Well.. the last hole finally healed up this week.. but at the end of the day.. i still feel might painful.. on the belly.  Some said.. it is to be expected.. but i just wanna update here.. to let anyone out there.. who had a hysterectomy and fibroids taken out.. that i had the same experienced of pain.  If i stand up and walk.. that’s fine.. but not alot of walking either..and i can bend down to pick stuff… but of course not without pain. I still feel sharp pain every now and then ..especially late at nite.. when i am getting ready to sleep like now.

Overall, i feel that i should be doing better.. if not for having to sit and work for so many hours.. but can’t be doing nothing for this long eh.  Pictures to follow soon… of the hole in my tummy.

Different Perspective About Health

After going thru’ 2 surgeries.. one really look at things in different perspective about our health.  For the longest time, i thought that by delaying my surgeries was the best thing i can do for my kid… but i didn’t know that i could have killed myself.. because my haemoglobin was so low. I now take everything that have to do with our future really seriously.. and never want to procrastinate .. even things like to compare auto insurance quotes, I don’t leave it for Mr Moo anymore, I take the initiative to do it myself.  Afterall, everything needs to be carefully thought through.. and not leave it to the man to shoulder everything.

Fibroids & Uterus

Yes.. as promised.. these are the pictures taken during my operation for my removal of fibroids and uterus. This was the size of the fibroids inside my uterus. A complete hysterectomy was performed because of the size of the fibroids.. they had to cut it like i was having a c-section.

The fibroids and uterus weighed about 3kg.. and 6″ wide. The size of a 26 weeks baby .. that was what my gynae .. Dr Mukherjee said.

I knew i had fibroids.. all my life.. but the fibroids grew after i had my baby .. some 4.5 yrs ago. But i didn’t wanna have it taken out earlier.. because my baby was still young.. and i don’t have enough help since I am alone in Canada.. and my family is in Singapore. My MIL came to help me .. but she has got her own garden to tend to .. and her home and family to take care of too. So no.. i couldn’t have done it earlier. I was in alot of pain.. for a long time. Just before my operation. .i was losing blood big time.. because of my fibroids.. and had to go for blood transfusion to get my hemoglobin up.

Support During Bad Health

Mr Moo was a great support during my stay in the hospital.  I could never have survived without him in the hospital 24hrs a day with me.  When I am well.. and everything is back to normal.. i want to take a look at those used Harleys he had been eyeing on for a long time now. Just my way of saying thank you.

Ways Of Keeping A Marriage Alive

After being married for a number of years.. one have to work at it to keep a marriage alive.. and healthy.  Never say never.. when it comes to any relationship .. because some excitement.. and some romantic nights will keep the relationship healthy.  Afterall, you don’t want the man to stray right..? Shirley of Hollywood can help set the mood for some romantic evenings and nothing is too sexy for your man.

Shake The Bottle .. Man..!

The man is still hacking.. and he was taking his medication before going to bed.  He turned around.. and told me that the medication seems to be more concentrated at the end of the bottle.  So i asked him if he shakes the bottle each time he takes his medication… well.. your guess is as good as mine.  No! And when i told him to.. he still had to look at the bottle for instruction.. *slapped forehead*.  Everyone should know this right..?? to shake the medication bottle before using it..??

DIY Logo

I found logo design easy to use and very hands on. If you are thinking of being creative. .and branding your own business, and not pay for an arm and a leg.. this is an ideal site for you. Five easy steps.. and lots to choose from.. and even matches the final theme for you. From browsing a symbol to placing the name of your company into the software.. everything is pretty straight forward.  And to tell you the truth .. i like the simplicity of the card i made. I love it..!

Mr Moo Is Sick Now!

One would think that after almost 2 weeks of illness at home.. all to do with Missy Moo.. it will go back to normal.. just about this time.  But I guessed not..! now Mr Moo is sick.. and sniffing away.  Gosh..!! i can’t wait for the cold weather .. to be over..! we are so overdue..!

Diving

The man’s cousin .. we heard is a certified diver now and being a really fussy or should we say the “arty-farty” type.. that only buy things if they are of the best quality or branded.  We’ve decided to buy him a technomarine watch for his birthday, so he knows that it is not just an ordinary watch and he will appreciate it.

Yay..!! Garbage is Done ..Finally..!!

Mr Moo finally remember to do garbage this Thursday..!! and no .. we donch get garbage picked up every week or everyday.. it’s every 2 weeks here. You wondering how i survived..?? Ya.. i know..!! how..?? Anyways.. after 1.5 months..! yes.. you heard right.. 1.5 freaking months..! till i got tired of reminding.. and being a pain.. that i gave up.. i just let it be.

Well .. it’s finally done. . and i’m freaking happy .. lor..! GARBAGE you know..! Why i donch bring it out..?? firstly it’s in the basement.. and secondly .. it’s so darn cold.. and because of my fibroids.. i can’t be carrying garbage up and down.. several times.. and then go out on the roads.. and have them picked up.

Enough Money

Mr Moo informed me this afternoon.. that he had enough for the rent and mortgage..! woohoo..! without dipping into our reserve. I feel really good about it. I know he is trying hard to make the darn business work..! i wished we had more cash to play around with. And hopefully the online thing will pick up again. We were doing so good.. till dear pain in the ass decided to play nasty.

What A Way To End The Year

Mr Moo got a call from the Revenue Dept asking him to keep up with his paper work.. and prolly wants him to pay his taxes. And even though he had explained that business didn’t picked up as he had anticipated.. they of course didn’t care. And had asked about our equity. I’m not too happy about it .. to be honest. But what can you do .. when he had been trying his darnedest right..? One can always stay hopeful and positive I guess.

Tired Of Asking For Help

Yes.. quite tired.. when you keep explaining why it is hard on the tummy .. when you have to bend over to pick up stuff. But nope.. his excuse was he didn’t see the towel.. in a 12 by 12 room.. right smack in the middle of the room.

So my resolution.. to hell with it.. and no more asking for help..! If it hurts.. it hurts..i just gotta do what gotta to be done. Like every Thursday is either garbage or compost day.. but yet.. he forgets to bring it out all the time. Before we had our kid.. i walk like 5 mins.. out to the road.. with garbage bags.. even when i am pregnant.. or when i had just given birth.. i did that.. but now that i donch get enough rest.. i donch do it no more.. and it has been a month or more .. since he has done garbage. You would think if one cannot remember on the day itself.. one should bring it out the nite before.. ?? but nope.. no amount of reminding helps. So what do you do..?? give up lah..! let him be.. !
