This HAS been longggggggggggggggg overdue!
How many of you peeps out there is actually still keeping up with my blog and daily rantings? A-ha!
Let's rewind and let me story you what has happened over the past 2 months!
After mom & dad left, I finally had the guts to see a doctor! As most of you probably don't know or won't know...I found a neck lump! :( Well, not exactly found! It has been there for quite a number of years and me being superbly horrified of needles, blood, results; have been neglecting and ignoring this nice little lump silently...UNTIL, heard news from back home of an ex-colleague who found a neck lump which was AIKS malignant! *BIG GULP*
*touchwood*thank god* I went for a check up...been through blood tests, Ultra-sound scans, CT scan, dye injection, under the knife...surgery with a tube tucked under my skin...GOSH! All those drama...and after all of this, the results came out to be a Benign Tumor so HOOORAYYYYYYY! As long as everything is removed, it is almost 100% that it wouldn't spread/grow...*touchwood* Doctor Kennedy said everything was looking great. Recovery is superb. He's one helluva of a great doc who has lots of TLC for his patients! He treated me like a gem, a little kid of his own! Never failed to make me laugh when he checks on me pre & post surgery!
All I have to say is, I'm really thankful to have met such wonderful people and to have lots of blessings from my family and friends...to help me pull through the hardest moments of my life! It was that easy undergoing surgery when your family is away far from you. Thanks to great communication that brought us close together and made it felt like home was never too far away!
*WARNING* Gross photos ahead!
Just a couple of snippets of the whole surgery process and my recovery...I think the most irksome photo is the one which my stitches are still fresh from the surgery...looking horribly ugly...like it will never heal nicely...that sort...but boy was I wrong! Taking snapshots of my recovery process and reviewing them just makes me feel that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE! Just gotta stay strong and believe that things will eventually turn out better!
A positive vibe was what I was trying to have throughout the days...
As my neck lump was sitting on my saliva gland, I had to have the "stuck" saliva sucken out by a syringe! That sounds scary isn't it? Honestly speaking, i'm not that afraid of needles as I used to be anymore. I guess its really true of the saying "What doesn't kill me, will only make me stronger!"
Ah well..enough of my dramatic surgery stories! haha
On a much brighter note that fits in to my "colourful" life...we all brought Bubbles home! A new pup which the whole household absolutely adoreeeeeeeesss!
WHY Bubbles? Haha it took us quite a while to decide on a pups name! From Bella to Kelsey to MissT to Bubbly to... x1000000000 god knows how many names!
Finally decided on Bubbles after a couple of days! This new pup got to have a name...so WHY Bubbles!
My explanation goes..."Because...Bubbles is a Maltese X Shihtzu that is Champagne i colour...and Champagne being Champagne...lots of bubbles...like bloob blooob bloob bloob bloob...hahahahhahaha and bubbles being bubbles...OK I don't think i'm making any sense here but Bubbles, the name just suits bubbles and her bubbly character! Haha such a cutie!
A very smart cutie! In just 2 weeks, Bubbles is trained to sit, give her hand, down and roll over! APPLAUSE! Bubbles nailed everything in just 2 weeks! We are the superbly proud owners! Potty training Bubbles was a drama at first! How many screams, NOs, BUBBLES were going around the house, but NOW, we're all proud to say that Bubbles can pee and poo at the right spot on her own! Without having us to lead her! Applauseeeeeee & Bravo!
That's it of Bubbles for now! I will be taking Bubbles out on her first road trip tomorrow! Off to Phillip Island we go! A 3d2n road trip planned with the group of boys & girls for fishing, for bonding sessions, for BBQ, for happiness, for laughter...awesome! Can't wait for all of it to happen...
So, stay tuned for more updates!
Till then, take care peepz!
