Recovered
It’s really a hard time. I was cried after doctor confirmed my little princess had to admit to hospital. I was so worry!
After three days two nights treatment in hospital, she continued her medicine and rest at home for a week. No schooling for total of two weeks. From the day she started to be active like usual, I know the day she can recover is not far away.
It takes three weeks and now I can see she is fully recovered. Back to the naughty little princess she always did. I do feel angry when she acts bad but as long as she is healthy, I should have no more complain!
Hopefully she learned the pain of sickness and alert always to keep good health from this experience.
Admitted
After blood test at clinic, doctor advised to seek for specialist due to prolong high fever. The blood test results shown no positive sign of serious illness but body is weak due to leak of drinks and food intakes.
She feels tired and sleeps all the time and we can forced her to drink much and eat a lot. Younger princess admitted on her sixth day fever.
Pray hard she can overcome this bad situation soonest!
Health Screening at Golden Horses Health Sanctuary
Can’t remember when we joined Golden Horses Health Sanctuary (GHHS) Health Screening membership program. Heard the price now has increased. I am grab hubby made the right decision to join this program. Not only we are enjoying the reasonable rejoining fees (RM3++), I am grab I recovered from lung effusion due to early diagnosed. GHHS’s doctor advised to go and check at specialist when my chest x-ray shown lung image abnormal. A person, who has no smoking habit and no cough symptom, had diagnosed with lung effusion. What a shock to me! I am recovered now and feel lucky I had joined this program.
Done my latest check up last month. This year onwards we do the health screening at the new renovated area. I got no. 44 when I reach there at 8.35am. I can enjoy my breakfast right after urine test and blood test. Not like previously we have to wait till end of all tests then only go for breakfast, this is the change that I like. Steam sweet potato and a cup of green veggie and fruit juice are my most healthiness breakfast in the year. LOL!
After audio test, eyesight test at lower ground then returned to upper level waiting area. Weight, high and BMI measurement done next is the blood pressure check. I don’t like the arrangement where this is done with other patients at the same time. The arrangement made seems like every one are rushing to complete the tests.
X-ray test still at the old location. Then move back to new waiting area to see doctor. Then go down to lower ground level wait for final ultrasound test. Long queue here but just in time before I can not stand to wait for pass urine.
One day service about49 patients, for the current numbers of staffs seems like too stress for them. Walked up and down, here and there between the old and new renovated location make every one looks so busy.
The one that I have to complaint is the structure of the upper waiting area. When people walk around, it is likes minor earthquake. Feel not comfortable when sitting there.
For the free lunch, I selected the salmon menu. It was great! The big portion of salmon is the same size as the rice portion. With soup and fruit, I feel very full.
Wait report and see doc at upper level again. Since I came late, I have to wait a bit longer for my result. Doctor advised not to show my report to insurance company due to the result shown my problems of mild loss hearing, small benign finding at right breast and uterine myoma. I might ask to pay for higher premium due to these problems. Annual ultrasound for breast, abdomen and pelvis needed to monitor the condition closely. The other test results are great. The most importance is my lung image shown the same as previous image. No chance means good sign! I wish they can arrange the same doctor to review me on my next screening.
Low rating on their phone call service and officer discuss to me personally to clarify on their call practice. I accept the explanation as I can see the staffs there are doing well. Overall, I can see the improvement of the center as well as the staffs there. Perhaps they can do even better.
Bravo
There are some patients wearing ankle braces waiting for their turn for chiropractic adjustment as well as doing physiotherapy at the specialist center that I often went.
There are two little patients braced me up. One is about 6 or 7 years old, the other one is about 5 years old I guess. I meet them since the day I started the DTS treatment which was more than half year ago. They are having problem on their leg since young. Every time when I feel tired or pain with my pain, I will think of them. As they can handle the treatment so well, why can’t me?
Compare to my problem, they might need longer time to undergo the treatment for their disability. I go along the treatments and I often saw them committed to their treatments as well for this half year period. With the adjustments, corrections and practices along the treatments, their situation now getting better and better.
Bravo! My two little heroes!
Back Pain Status
Just checked and noticed that I have not updated my back pain status almost four months.
How am I feeling now? Great!
I returned to HSC Cheras Specialist center after several months visit to my first chiropractor. I decided to get second chiropractor opinion after several re-occur of back pain. At that time, I am so easy to get in terrible pain whenever I sneeze. I hate that the most.
With the second doctor advice, I went through two sessions of DTS Decompression Therapy. No only long period of time invested and the cost is not cheap at all but the result is wonderful. I find myself getting improved. The pain goes very slightly at the beginning stage but as long as lesser and lesser pain, I know I have to be patient.
For your info, no only DTS Decompression Therapy I done but I did committed to follow the advice of the physio to do Physiotherapy exercise as what they teach. I do agree that this is the tough one but effectively improve my muscles strength.
My back pain status now: No pain at the back. No pain on my leg. Nothing pain but a bit uncomfortable / numbness on the right upper part of my lower limb. Still need some times to cure I think. Anywhere, I am getting to reach the rainbow in the sky!
Special thanks to Dr. Lily for her advice and adjustments!
Weight Increased
I can’t remember when was the last time I stand on the scale to weight myself. I always feel worry to know the result. Since now I am more confident with my health condition, I decided to check it physically.
My back pain is gone but the numb on my lower right leg makes me feel uncomfortable. As always, I need to continue take extra precaution for every movements and my postures of stand, sit and walk to ensure I can maintain and towards better condition.
So happy to announce I am now 40.5kg. For the six years passed my weight dropped to scary 40. I am too weak and too slim all the way. 0.5kg increased is a very good improvement.
I promised to myself to continue try harder to keep up my weight until I need the best weight loss pills to keep my body slim down again. Ideally 45kg is the perfect weight, if I can hit 50kg that will be my limit. So, there are still more rooms to go!
Professional Nurse
Because of my back pain, I discovered they are many patients who are having the same problem like me. After so frequent treatments in health center, I found that nurses are the same importance as doctor when patients need helps.
Because of the business expansion, there are many new staffs in the health center. Those trained staffs are requested to transfer to their new branches and more junior staffs has been hired. I am not sure whether they have any online nursing degree holders. But no matter they are online nursing degree graduated, either locally or overseas, as a patient, my request is simple. I need the competent to assist me. I prefer nurses who well know my back pain records can continue take care of me during my treatments because I feel more comfortable and reliable. Anywhere, I can see they work very well on training new staffs. No complaint so far.
Medicare Plan
I am only aware how importance to sign up a Medicare plan is when I admitted to hospital. I have to thanks hubby because he is the one who suggested me to buy the plan. At the beginning I will feel that I am losing money every year without enjoy any benefit from the coverage. But after my experience of operation in hospital few years ago, I know we had made the right decision.
We no need to come out our pocket money to pay for the fees. With the coverage, we are ease of pain to waste time concerning how to rush for money to pay the expensive operation and medical bills. No doubt that this is a good investment. Pay little money in advance to keep ourselves in protection.
Protect Child’s Teeth
This article is full of information that I needed. The information in How to Protect Your Child’s Teeth make me have ideas on protect my children teeth.
I hard to send her to dentist because she will cry to protest herself because she knows her problem and she scare of pain. No matter how I conform her she will not dare to follow me to see dentist. This is my main problem now. Anywhere, I know I cannot escape to spend on braces when my elder daughter comes to nine years old. Let’s see what I can do to convince her on having beautiful teeth.
Back Pain Update
I know I should always be re-charged in full every day so that I can have full energy to fight for my back pain. I try to sleep as much as I can. Even though I still wake up few times in the middle of night but I wake up not because of the pain now.
Recently I feel more released. The pain is gone and the numbness on my foot is less significant. Although the uncomfortable is still there but sometimes it may gone. It comes on and off now and I feel great with my movement.
I should always keep on exercise every day. Besides, I have to maintain good postures no matter when I sit and I walk.
I will share with you what have I done besides the chiropractic adjustment. I wish to make sure those treatment that I am undergo right now is really effective to treat the sciatica.
