How and where do I begin ?
While visiting a blog, trying to understand the latest development in local politic, I suddenly remember that I have a blog myself...
OMG ! I have only 1 ( one) miserable posting in the whole of 2012..... And that was in January !
Same old excuse, I guess... Busy face booking !
The year 2012 has been good, I must admit. Though there were a few bumps here and there...
Health wise, Syukur Alhamdulillah.
Anyway, there were 2 incidences that called for a better management of my life style.
First incidence took place during mid year. After an indulgence at all- you can eat steamboat outlet, reaching home, the whole world spun. Hubby and daughter helped to massage. A bout of throw-up followed. Then only the spinning lessened. Ever since that day, I have not thought of steamboat...
Come to think of it, it did not begin with the steamboat. The steamboat thing was just the final straw on the camel back so to speak ! Lack of exercise and over eating were the culprits. The tightening of clothes and the bulging tummy were obvious signs but ignored. Now, to loose those extras is no small fit.
Second incidence was on a Sunday in November. I woke up with a fifty cents coin saiz lump under my right arm. Initially, there was no pain felt. A few hours later, it became sore , warm to touch and slightly painful ( on the scale of 5/10). My mind started to wonder if the big C has returned...
I tried hard to recall what happened prior to that. Then I remembered the previous week, I had fungal attack on my feet and left hand after wearing garden socks and glove that were not properly cleaned. I had an infectious right pointer finger injured during pruning of vogamvillas plants. So maybe it was just an infection on a lympnodeless arm...
Taking no chances, since I was then in Subang Jaya, I went straight to The Oncology Department, KL GH the next morning. After the whole morning wait and my lengthy explanation and description, the doctor prescribed a week of antibiotics and TCA for next year. So I gathered she was sure it was just a case of infection.
Diligently, I took 8 capsules per day for the whole week. And I consumed my daily natural health drink without fail and apply aloe vera gel to the lump...
Syukur Alhamdulillah. The soreness, the pain are gone but a little lump still remains. I'll continue to apply Aloe vera gel and see.
Most importantly, I must lead a healthier life style: eat well, exercise and watch my weight. And I must exercise more caution during gardening... New year's resolutions !
