I ended up sitting in Emergency for 3 and a half hours last night. Not for me, for Yasu. Read more
Yesterday I had an appointment at the hospital, to get the results from my last endoscopy. Everything came back clear including the former stomach tumor which had now shrunk so small that it’s hardly even there, and the liver nodule which the doctor says is benign as well. I’m so happy about that! It’s been 21 months of hell, and it’s finally over. I’m so glad not to have to go backwards and forwards to the hospital any more. I’m finally discharged, and can get on with my life! 
All this week I have been reading ‘The Law of Attraction’ that I bought before going away but didn’t read. I decided to make time every day and sit down to read some of the book. It has really opened my eyes, and I really should have read it before ‘Ask and it is Given’. I’m finding it’s really helping with my outlook on my life, and it has given me a lot of motivation too!
I haven’t been on the computer much lately as I’ve been out in the front garden pulling out the weeds that took over the garden while I was away. I’ve also been sorting out my healing room, and hopefully this weekend, which is a long weekend for the Queen’s birthday, Yasu can help me shift my desk in there, so I can have a place to go think my thoughts and put my Law of Attraction plans into practice!!
I also have a workshop coming up with a friend, and a group that I joined, for Lightworkers in Perth, is now starting to have some meetings in the near future, so it looks like I will be able to mix with a lot of like-minded people, which I’m really excited about! There will be opportunities to give and receive healings too, so I’m happy about that.
I also am a part of a friend’s ongoing philosophy group which is meeting early next month, so lots of opportunities are falling within my reach because of Abraham – thankyou!
It has been really great to get outside and connect with nature, even if it’s just pulling out weeds at the moment, it’s nice to breath in the fresh air, and communicate with the garden fairies.
I’ll leave you all with a pic of my ornamental peach tree that decided to flower even though someone had stood on it and broken off it’s only stem (containing the flowers), and a quote I found from confucius that mirrors my sentiments exactly.
Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. ~Confucius
Whenever my mum goes into hospital, she ends up getting an infection on top of what is already wrong with her, and doesn’t come out before 3 or 4 weeks are up.
This time I decided that every night I would send some Reiki healing to her (distance healing) with an outcome for the next day.
I started sending the healing on Sunday night. Yesterday I went in and found her up and walking around despite just having had major kidney surgery. While I was there, to my surprise, they unplugged her from all her cords and monitors, so that she only had a drain in.
Last night I came home and did another powerful Reiki healing with a vision of her leaving by Thursday this week.
Imagine my surprise when my sister called me at lunch time today to tell me that my mum would be released from hospital tomorrow! (wednesday)
I haven’t said anything about healing to my family as they are not really believers, and I don’t want to take any credit, I just wanted to speed up her healing so she wouldn’t be wallowing around in hospital. I am really glad I could do my part to send her home early, and not only that, to help her get better in record time.
My mum will come and stay with us for a few days as my brother can’t take care of my mum, and his girlfriend will have no idea what to do if mum feels ill or needs help with something.
Yasu and my mum get on fine, so he never makes a fuss, in fact we have a guest room in our house that was made for when mum comes to stay sometimes.
My mum brought me these beautiful Asiatic Lillies, Gerbera’s (my favourite), and Blue Status while I was in hospital.
My friend Jo brought this bunch of Red and White roses from her garden. The hospital staff gushed over them all week.
This was the birthday gift I received from Jo, its an aromatherapy oil burner. The little spoon at the bottom (looks like a frypan) is what the tealight candle goes into, goes inside lit, then you put oil in the teapot on the top and leave the lid on or off, whichever you want. I love the marble colouring, its very pretty. I promptly put it in my healing room, on my table with all my other candles and holders. I’m sure i will use it often.
I made this cake for Easter. Choc-on-Choc mudcake with mini Easter eggs and shaved White Chocolate on top. Yasu was lurking around the cake just after I made it, hoping to scoop up some crumbs or chocolate that just happened to “fall off by itself”.
Welcome to my new look! I’ve been toying with some templates over the last few weeks and finally found one I am totally happy with. Can’t say I won’t change my mind though. I’m a woman, afterall.
I spent the last 4 days in hospital. I had been having lower abdomen pains and started projectile vomiting in the early hours of Friday morning (12:30am) and I had to wake Yasu up and he insisted on taking me to the hospital. He had been trying to get me to go there all week, so he won in the end.
I didn’t wait long in emergency because the doctor thought it was appendicitis and was preparing for surgery. They also had a theory it might be diverticulitis. I had an x-ray and a cat scan and the results were that I had neither of those. Though it was mighty sore in the area where my bowel is (and it still is), and they did do blood and urine tests but they all came back normal.
I was admitted anyway and Saturday and Sunday passed with nary a visit from the doctor. I was beginning to feel very forgotten. The only good aspect was I was in the private part of the hospital, and as it was quiet, only 2 other patients in the whole ward, I had nurses running about trying to do things for me and pain medication on tap.
Suffice to say I had a great rest, lots of sleep, the hospital food was marvelous – the desserts were to die for, for example one night I had a choice of baked cheesecake or butterscotch mousse in a dark chocolate basket with a side serving of cream and cherries, I chose the latter and it was sooo yum, and the meals were like those from a top restaurant ~ lasagna/cottage pie/steak/casserole/lamb ribs…so much choice and all were really yum!
My mum also came twice to visit me from a long way away, and Jo also visited with roses from her garden.
Yasu barely made it in to see me and when he finally came, he read the magazines and gave off the feel of not wanting to be there. He made excuses to leave both times he came. I’m still mad at him about that.
So anyway, today the doctor came round with the medical team and basically said that they don’t know what it is, and that I’m a medical mystery. So basically I was in hospital for nothing, I feel it was such a waste of time… but at least I got alot of care from the nurses I guess.
Yasu came home early and picked me up today, and took me home, then went back to work. I felt strange being at home, because I had become used to the hospital routine. I climbed into bed between the cool sheets and slept for a few hours.
When I woke up I looked on the net and found that my symptoms match IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Funny, I had to find it by myself…even a private doctor doesn’t know that.
I’m fast losing faith in traditional medicine.
Like Orchid said…There is no Dr House in real life. I wish there was though.
These doctors seem to just put everything in the “too hard” box.
So I also looked online for a Traditional Chinese Medical Centre and found one that is in the city. I’ll give them a call tomorrow and find out if I can get an appointment.
So that’s where I am at with my health. Always it seems I get on top of my health and then something else happens and I’m back to square one. I don’t know why that is.
So today It’s my 31st birthday but I don’t think we will be doing anything because Yasu told me we would stay at a hotel like we always do as it’s also our 6th wedding anniversary, and he told me to find a place to stay. Then he came home and told me he couldn’t really have the day off, he even knew that when he asked me so I was upset at him.
And the place he wanted to go for dinner is not open on Tuesdays, and when I told him where I wanted to go, he said he didn’t care about it, so I told him to forget it. If he is not interested in it, then it’s no use going out because he will give off the “I don’t care” vibes and it will be so uncomfortable for me.
I don’t have much hope for today. Yasu will be working late and I won’t get anything because he already gave me an Ipod Touch for Christmas that was to cover my birthday present as well. I’m not greedy, I still use the Ipod, it’s just that now I’m wishing I didn’t do that because I won’t have anything to open.
He also already bought and gave me my anniversary present at the faeries festival.
I bought him an anniversary present but at the moment I don’t feel like giving it to him!! :/
I can’t understand why he’s being this way.
I think I will just get dressed up and go out and do something by myself, treat myself to a good day without him I think.
Ahh this post turned into a doom and gloom rant. Sorry about that.
I’m glad to be back anyway. I missed reading all your blogs!
I had an appointment at the hospital yesterday to do with the tumor in my stomach. I was so exasperated after a year of to-ing and fro-ing I was ready to say hey, I’ve had enough.
But then I saw Dr. Studd. (Yes, his real name, and no, he’s not really a stud, but he’s very nice!)
He had been reading my very thick file for the previous hour before I came into his office, and he was up to date with everything that had happened since I had my gall bladder removed in January 2008, including the most recent find of a tumor on my stomach.
He was so switched on. I almost wanted to kiss his feet I was (and am) so happy!
He got right to the gist of everything and I was signing consent forms for a biopsy on the tumor, then he sent me for a blood test, and prescribed me some pantoprazole for the constant lump in my throat. He gave me another blood test form as well, so that if I got the pain during business hours (uh huh…since when does my pain ever comply with business hours??) I should go down and have a blood test so they can see the difference between the results of both tests, if there are any.
I walked away feeling satisfied that everything was being done properly and with my best concerns, and I have an appointment with him again in 6 weeks so things are finally moving the way they should have from the beginning.
After that I went into the health food store, stocked up on digestive enzymes, organic flaxseed oil, whey protein powder and multivitamins & minerals and managed to get charged twice for the digestive enzymes ($27.95) and only discovered that when I got home last night, so that means another trip to the city tomorrow. I will use that to my advantage though and go visit my mum on the train about 30 mins from the city, so all is well.
I came home and made a beef and salad dinner with a flaxseed oil dressing. Yasu had the same but with a bowl of rice. (no carbs in the evening for me, yay!) and the flaxseed oil was really yum.
I started Yasu on all his supplements last night, although he is refusing to eat breakfast so i’m just giving him the supplements at least to get his body the nutrition he needs, even if he doesn’t change his eating habits. Although last night I did notice he was trying to eat slower, rather than wolfing it down like he usually does, so that’s a start.
After dinner Yasu played his Nobunaga game on the computer and I watched Criminal Minds and then NCIS, after that I went to bed and listened to a meditation, fell asleep and got woken by Yasu at 3am. He was coughing, he has something like spray painter’s asthma, the paint he uses to spray the boats at work gets in his lungs, even though he wears a mask.
I told him to either put another pillow on top of his or go and get the asthma spray. He did neither and continued coughing. I nearly strangled him and so he ended up getting another pillow and the spray, and our sleep continued. Ugh, men. Think they know everything!
Yesterday was really bizarre. I spent the day in coughing hell, and by mid-afternoon i had started shaking really badly. I called my mum and she recommended that i go to the hospital as soon as possible. I didn’t feel confident taking myself, but not quite bad enough to call an ambulance so i waited for Yasu to get home from work.
He arrived about 6pm and reheated last nights bolognaise for his tea, had a quick dessert (with my blessing, who knows how long we would have to wait at the hospital), and then we went to the hospital which is just up on the main highway, not very far, about 5 minutes drive. About 5 minutes after i got there, i got called in by the nurse. Blood pressure was normal, temperature normal. Then another short wait and i got to see the doctor. He said i had a very bad chest infection, and he couldn’t believe that i actually saw my own doctor on tuesday with the same symptoms and he sent me away empty handed. This doctor gave me 2 courses of antibiotics to take at the same time, two different kinds.
The shaking is caused by the ventolin i take for my asthma, he said it’s a side effect. When the body gets a cold, the ventolin can’t do it’s job properly so it gives the body the shakes, he said i should be aware of it in the future, but it was nothing to worry about. Phew, that’s a relief. I thought i was going crazy or something!
After that we dashed up to the pharmacy to get my script filled and went on our way home. Yasu made a joke that my doctor, Doctor No, should be called Doctor I don’t know. Good one Yasu!
After that we came home and i made myself a quick dinner of carbonara, which Yasu said he didn’t want any of, but as soon as i sat down with it, he was eyeing it off. I ended up feeding him my leftovers. Then we had a cup of hot chocolate, and went off to bed. Before we fell asleep i showed Yasu the latest music video i downloaded on my ipod of Dj Ozma, who he thought was Smap! Funny. Can’t believe he actually thought that it was smap, he is so behind the times.
