Medical Report + Night Shift

Medical Report

We got back our medical reports. Surprisingly, I am the healthiest among the 3. Other than the fact that I have too much fats in my body and low haemoglobin, I am in the pink of health. I am thala minor and that explains the low haemoglobin. I am only at 10.9 when the normal range is between 11.5 to 15.0. Basically, no big issue other than the occasional tiredness and giddy spells. The doctor gave me 3 months' supply of iron pills. If the haemoglobin level doesnt improved after swallowing that much iron pills, then I should go for further investigations. I meant to start the iron pills but keep forgetting. -.o" Oh, iron pills lead to constipation too and I already have irregular bowels syndrome (self-diagnose). I need papayas.

My sister has got high cholesterol. Hohoho. I think she needs some exercise. My mum has been warned to stop cooking pig stomach/ intestine soup and sotong. As for my mum, her platelets level is still strangely high and the doctor has suggested seeking a specialist's view. I asked the doctor if the test results could be affected bcos she just recovered from a flu before the test. I asked for another blood test and we will send my mum to a specialist if the 3rd test still shows abnormal readings. Other than that, her pap smear shows nil for cancer, but some unusual cells and the doctor suggested a repeated test in 6 months' time. I had a hard time breaking the news to my mum. We dun want to freak her out and it was hard to convince her to go back for a 3rd blood test. Please pray that the platelet level will resume to normal level in the 3rd test.

Night Shift

Daddy Lim has been scheduled to work night shift. -.o" With effect from tomorrow, he will start working from Sunday to Friday, 6pm to 5am, for 1 month. We have wanted to drive to KL with the Chan family this morning, but have to forgo the plans when the big boss inform Daddy Lim about starting night shift tomorrow. So, our holiday plans will be shelved for a long time. Haiz.

We have to make load of adjustments to the change of working hours. When Daddy Lim goes on night shift, he will send Lil Shauna to popo's place and me to work after knocking off. Only then can he go to bed. Poor Daddy Lim. Unless I knock off on time, otherwise I will have to find my own way home. I haven figured out how to take Company or public transport from the office. Then, I will fetch Lil Shauna from popo house and walk home with the baby and put her to bed. Poor me.

The cycle will continue until Saturday morning. The weekends will be the only time that Daddy Lim gets to see and spend time with Lil Shauna. -.o"

I hope Lil Shauna still remembers Daddy Lim after 1 month. I will become Lil Shauna's favourite again while Daddy Lim is on night shift. Hehe. I hope God will be merciful to me and make Lil Shauna a good baby while Daddy Lim is on night shift. ;p
