Dad is discharged!
Last evening, ma called to say dad can be discharged. Yeah!
Althought I thot he shld stay for 1 more blood test, i guessed he is sick n tired of staying in the hospital and had enuff of the hospital food. :p
Good to come back home to rest. Home Sweet Home. Went with Cousin Elin to fetch him.
The first thing dad did when he came home was to to for a hair cut. He kept complaining that his hair is long lor. :p
After the haircut, we popped by to update the clinic doc on dad's status. The doc recommended to do a blood test again on coming Saturday to confirm recovery. At the meantime, dad is to avoid doing funny stuff like changing bulb etc to prevent falling and injuries due to the still ow blood count
*Hope the bulbs dun give me problem now... else I need a very tall chair to change. :p

Dad down with Dengue Fever again
It has been about 5 years since we had dengue fever.
Last week, dad has been on MC for fever. We all thot it was just a common cold as the weather has started to turn cold. But as the fever persisted over the next few days and rashes started to appear, we knew it was dengue.
Dad was asked to have his blood test taken at TTSH on Sunday and it was suspected that he got dengue as his blood count was low (113). He was asked to recuperate at home and scheduled for another blood test in 2 days time.
Fever did not subside and the blood test results on Tuesday shows 55. The doctor advised him to return to TTSH. Accompanied him to TTSH the same night for admission. He was sent to the Communicable Disease Centre (CDC), which was quite a long walk from TTSH.
Yesterday's blood test shows a further drop to 44. We were all scared and kept praying for him.
Today's blood test result shows 71. :) Awaiting further advice from the doctor.
Hope the blood count continues to increase and may pa have a speedy recovery and be able to be discharged from hospital fast! His whole hands have been pasted with plasters from all the blood tests. And those brusies after the blood tests... Poor pa.
Back to School
Oh ya! To update, I went for our company's dinner and dance on 1 Nov 07 too!
The theme was "Back To School" and yeah... we were supposed to dress in school uniforms...
So, here are some interesting highlights:
Some Updates
Ok... I haven't been blogging for quite a while ever since my last cooking disaster ya?
Here are some quick updates:
1. Health - Finally Went for a scope on 25 Oct 07. Had to fast for the day and had been terrified for the whole week. When it was finally my turn for the scope, the doc gave me an injection to sedate me. Whatever happened after that was unknown. By the time I woke up (after abt 15-20min), the whole procedure was done. Verdict: No ulcer... Phew! But why do I have gastric then? He said probably due to sensitive stomach... [shrug]
2. Relationships - Realised that certain things cannot be rushed, esp when it comes to relationships. So, let nature takes it own course then. What is meant to be, will be. What isn't, no matter how hard you try, it's not going to work out either.
3. Work - Think I m going to focus and learn all that I can at work. Since I've been given this opportunity to learn new stuff, this is the time to pick it up. Time to Cheong!
