from one to another

---> Yep unda, endoscopy (using camera) was done indeed...yesterday. Horror jugak eh huhu.

Monday tu, the doc just scanned my stomach, turned out i had the same luck with Aini...ada batu karang :( One stone, measured at 4mm roughly. Since my explanation was a bit weird (ppl had batu karang usually feel the pain at the lower part of perut/pinggang/abdomen eh?) but i did not...mine was more on the ulu hati, so he concludes i need to do further test.

Yesterday, he did the procedure, first spray ubat bius inside anak tekak (pahit giler, lucky i did not vomit in front him :p), then after one jab at my hand, terus pengsan tak sedar. About 15-20 minutes je kot..ntahla...cant remember anything. A camera was inserted, from mouth going to tekak, not sure whether it reached the stomach or not hehe. The result, he said inflammation at my esophagus (called esophagustrities, apology for my spelling ok tak tahu :p), so he just gave 2 types of medicine. As for the stone, he told not to worry or do anything..nothing serious about that, i should be alarm only when i have the symptons like sakit2 kat bwh perut tu. Betul ke unda? what your lecturers/experience/books tell u about this?
Please advise if u/any friends out there know specific foods/drinks to eat so that the stone can hancur by itself and wipe out thru urine. Seriously i was freaked the whole day yesterday but today i guess myself is back to normal kot...alhamdulillah harap2 this is not as serious as i think. Follow-up will be next Tuesday, hope i am all ok as usual.

Today am on mc. But now im in the office, settling some works, attending jamuan hari raya office, and hehe obviously writing this entry. Tomorrow we will be off to kuching until saturday. Sunday got two makan2 invitations...harap2 no gastric attack during these precious wonderful days ahead. As for me, starting from this episode, i should take more precaution on my food intake...do not dare to put my health at risk after this kind of things happening at my age. Kena control makan..jgn belasah je ok!

Salam all...take care!

more on gastric...

Last Friday another attack striked again. I was all ok from morning till 4pm when suddenly i felt the difficulty to breath, loya and vommited thrice (including once in car while driving back home :p). That night again the doc said my sugar level did not improved...it reads at 5.3 (compared to the previous one was 5.2), despite eating lots of foods that day (2 office invitations in a row, with lontong, rendang, nasi impit, lemang, nasi lauk, etc and of course, air manis!)

Felt a bit relieved after series of vommiting, maybe angin dah takde dlm perut. Weekend came, i was all OK with no signs of gastric at all. Lucky for me since we got few invitations on these 2 days, but i made a point to myself not to overeat or else i might go to the toilet again :) Yesterday we went to 2 houses in Bangi and Equine, also to Nilai 3 in between to look for something and ended up bought other things :p This evening i had an appointment with a doc, specialized in gastroenterologist, hope he'll able to give some detail explanation and solution to my stomach problem.

Open house? NO it will not be in this Syawal due to our packed schedule. However i expect we'll be able to 'open' our house for frens and relatives somewhere in December insya allah, right after exam. Cannot play2 anymore since i 'kantoi' a bit in my recent modules...guess i need to be more serious and persevere for the next 6 subjects je lagik nyeh nyehhh

p/s: Aini, jgn malas2 mkn ubat...jgn gi shopping time mc :p

24 October 2007

of gastric

Had another attack yesterday near lunch time, caused me to stay in the toilet for about 1/2 hour, vommiting and sitting there hoping the pain will ease and yet it continued...so at last i decided to go back. Went to clinic (my 3rd visit in this Syawal), hope the doc will refer me to specialist since it's already over a week. Mr Doc checked my body pressure, inspect the stomach (malu wooo), and lastly did a sugar test. The result - pressure all OK, lack of sugar (my reading is 5.2, normal level should be above 6 kot?). He concluded - i need to take more sugary drinks and foods to increase my sugar level, so that the body activity can operates as normal to digest foods and reduce the acidity. Of course NO hot n spicy, sour, makanan berangin etc...lega kejap bila pk as nothing serious according to him :) Hope everything will be back to normal. It hurts like he** when it attacked the 'ulu hati' and i can hardly breathe out and rasa macam sakit jantung (tho i dont know how sakit jantung exactly feels like...)

Back home, try to sleep and rest but couldnt...so lepas asar, terus ke garden cewahh...semangat waja gitu! But upon seeing almost all the newly-planted pokok2 macam nak layu, terus rasa pressure huhu...either the plants get shocked because we transferred it to tanah, or it was just merely our hands yg soooo panas dan tak rasi :( Sedey banget rasa huhu. But anyway, guess the project is almost 70% completed, pending to clean the porch and awaiting ppl to install pergola and pond.

Night time, around 940pm, our neighbour next door ajak pegi beraya ke rumah jiran...so lepas beraya, sambung berborak kat luar rumah sampai 11pm....sakan kan :p

Weekend is coming and am fully booked with open house and class....nx week will be going to kuching, cant wait to savour the ever delicious kek lapis cadbury nyeh nyehhh...soon after that Bandung is waiting....wah wah...lepas tu terus exam punyerla tak best :(
