If you're a baker's daughter, you'll get to eat eclairs, blueberry cheese tarts and cupcakes for breakfast. =D Healthy! Lol

Last week I had 4 doctor appointments from Mon to Fri. Had a blood test follow up, hydrotherapy as usual, CT scan for my chest/thorax and acupuncture. Atleast I get to go out and walk around..which was great. Before the CT scan I was suppose to fast for 6 hours but I forgot =P. I told the nurse that I just drank a little bit of water in the morning and ate 5 almonds, haha. Luckily she said it was OK..I actually nearly wanted to drink Nestum also that morning.
Last week was also the first time where I went to hydrotherapy at Changi Hospital without using a wheelchair. Actually it was the first time I went out without a wheelchair. But of course I took my time and walk slowly. There's a first time for everything! But most of the time even though if we do bring the wheelchair, I choose to walk.. =D the wheelchair is just like a back up.

I really hope insyaAllah I would be able to walk normally in the next 1-2 months. Cause I want to go back to school by Oct. Amin! Hopefully my hand would also be stronger by then.
If you're not sure about my sickness, it's called churg-strauss syndrome. You can look it up. The doctor says it's very rare.
The major part about this sickness that's affecting me is the inflamation of my blood vessels in my nerves. Which is now affecting my right leg and hand. So almost all the time there're like shooting pains / electric shock pains or it's like my nerves are being pulled in my legs. That's how I feel everyday. & nerve takes time to heal, not like a broken bone that you can confirm it to be healed by like how many months or so.
Oh and my face is a little tembam and there are like rashes on both of my cheeks because of the side effects of one of the medications that I have to take. Coba'an..lucky I'm at home most of the time.
But Alhamdulillah my condition is quite OK if I would to compare it with some people who have had it much worse than me from the many stories that I've heard since I've been sick.

Can't use the internet in my laptop right now. Mozilla crashed and nobody knows how to fix it. So no TV shows for me this few days xD.. Cause I'm using Mom's computer.

Going to hydrotherapy later. This time I'm going to be early. First time I'm going to the hospital alone. InsyaAllah everything khair. Actually I just have to walk slowly down and take a cab there. Once I'm there, to go to the pool room is not that far. I have to be brave, so I can start travelling by myself bit by bit. But I asked my lovely aunt to pick me up after the therapy =D. There are about 7 people in the session I think.. the therapist is a friendly 30+ year old woman. Everybody is older than me.. 40 year old chinese people, 1 malay guy and 1 20+ tudung girl who happens to work in TP! Of course she's having her MC now. She's using crutches at the moment..a result from a motorbike accident. But looks like she's recovering fast.

My parents are the most understanding of my condition of course..since the beginning. Even though friends and relatives are supportive, they don't sometimes really understand the full situation. But of course everybody's support is much appreciated! That's why you can never fully repay your parents. Thank you Allah for the best parents ever! =)

Yesterday's hydrotherapy session was fun. I was a bit late..will definitely come early next time. The therapy is not swimming and all that =D ... It's just that we move around the water, stretch and exercise a bit. The purpose for doing it in water is because of the water resistance and the buoyancy..cause in water it'll be much lighter..and I can do things like tip-toeing which I'm still yet unable to do on land of course. After that my dad pick me up and we went home.

So far we've tried acupuncture twice. Next visit will be tomorrow i guess. It's at Toa Payoh.. at this about 4 storey building called Chong Hua Free clinic. That's right. But each session cost $4..Only. I think it's like a normal clinic but they practice mostly TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). Both times I'm there, I've never seen a single Malay. When I took a peek at the doctors' computers, everything is in Chinese..I think they even have my name in Chinese.
When they poke the needle it just hurts a little ('macam semut gigit dorang selalu kataa'). It's just for about 20 mins. 2 needles on each leg & 2 on my right hand. I'm still getting use to it. Like I said.. kita usaha, InsyaAllah doa, usaha and tawakkal a'lAllah. Cause we've heard a few stories, and they said acupuncture is the way to go. ;)

Btw I've just realised that whatever I post here will also be posted on my multiply blog which I've never touched in a long time. & sometimes multiply keep writing this 'amp' word which I didn't type. So I don't know what that means ok.. ;D
