Family is here!

After picking up my parents and sisters at the airport, came home to put their luggages, we went to the nearby Italian pizza place for a quick dinner. 

They were all very tired already. Same with me. Ordered two large pizzas to share.

Happy to have them here! 

After the dinner, came home, gave them the wifi password, showed them the bathrooms, passed them the toothpastes, the hair dryer, lent my old laptop to my mum, made them chamomile tea, and finally have some time for myself before i go to bed. 

It's been a long day actually. 

Woke up at 5 or 6. Tried to sleep again but the quality wasn't that good. Had some oatmeal for breakfast and called my sis who were waiting at the airport back in Malaysia. 

Decided to go for another test today as today (Friday) is the 28th day post the unprotected oral sex. I know I am having too many tests but I really want to have some peace and certainty so that I could be cheerful and happy to bring my family around. 

Called up the pathology in the afternoon and was told that the test result had been sent back to the clinic. Called up the clinic, wanted to make an appointment for Saturday for the result but was told that it's fully booked! They didn't even have any empty slots left for today. 

The receptionist who sounded to be nice told me to try early tomorrow morning at 8am to see if there's any cancellation. I really hope I can get an accurate, negative result by tomorrow. 

I am actually kinda emo/worried today because I am having stomach pain or more accurately abdominal pain or cramp. I started to feel the pain last night before I went to bed and after I had half a class of milk. 

I suspected that the milk might not be stored properly. i actually took my housemate's milk because my milk was finished. About an hour after that, I started to feel some pain so I gave myself a capsule of probiotics before I went to bed last night. 

Woke up this morning, the pain was still there. The stool was loose, but not watery. 

Had two bottles of Yakult but I guess Yakult isn't strong enough to be clinically effective. 

Still got pain so I had the chinese pills. 'Bao ji wan'. The tiny black pills. 

I am not having diarrhoea but the the pain is still there. 

Before I went to the airport tonight, I went to the local chemist to buy a bottle of probiotics made by 'Swisse'. Should be a good brand, recommended by the pharmacist. It's quite a strong dose of probiotics, 100 billion is the unit. 

Feeling slightly better now, just slightly. But can still feel the pain. 

I dunno if it's related to the contaminated curry I had, and the diarrhoea I had three days ago. Was it because of the milk last night? A combination of both? Or I dunno. 

Hope to have a good night sleep tonight. Hope to get my result tomorrow. Hope to be totally healthy again tomorrow!

The "Emergency Contact"

Got a letter from the insurance company this morning, confirming that my conditions are not 'pre-existing'. Glad that they are willing to pay for my colonoscopy and endoscopy (with an 'excess' of $500, which means I would have to pay for the first $500 in a calendar year for any claims I make).  I called the clinic quickly to make an appointment for the procedures. The earliest they have is this Wednesday, so I will be 'admitted' this Wednesday afternoon.  The lady over the phone said that I must arrange for someone to bring me home after the procedure because I will be sedated (as opposed to anaesthesia) and under NSW laws it is a requirement that I go home accompanied.  I can't think of anyone really. No family, no friends, no one, just me alone. I told her I have no one that I can ask. I wondered what she thought, poor kid maybe. Fortunately, there is a specialised cab service that I can hire to escort me home.  Then, there was the pre-admi...

My Progress So Far

In my previous post, I made a list of the things that I wanted to do, in order for me to start thinking and feeling positively. I have moved into this brand new studio apartment. I have also been cooking up a storm. I could now simply heat up my food when I get home from work, without having to rely on expensive take-away meals. However, I haven't been able to tick off items 3-5 yet. The apartment could be tidier. I have no one to invite over for meals. And lastly, item number 5, I don't think it will ever happen. Couple of weeks ago, after moving in, I texted Jay. I asked if it was possible to have a conversation. I told him I wasn't being emotional, I simply wanted to talk. He declined. And my last text to him was: "I have given you 10 months". Recently, on Facebook, I discovered videos made by a lady called Xandra Ooi which I found highly helpful and inspirational. She would end each video with ".... be happy, always". Her ideas made tota...

Life Too Gay

Secret Santa. Christmas gift 2013 to one of my housemates.  Had a test yesterday.  Went to the nearby Myer department store to look for a gift for the Secret Santa event at my accommodation. Budget was $10. Saw a lot of cute little inventions, most of them averaged around $20. Could have gotten something within budget but it wouldn't be as interesting so I decided to get this little duckling infuser. It's sightly over budget ($15) but it's worth the while because I think he likes it! (I think he still doesn't know that it's from me, he's also gay by the way) Gay much?  I got a box of chocolates, an assortment of mini mars bars, milky way, M&Ms, etc. To be honest, I didn't like it! I have been trying to avoid chocolates, so that I don't have to take in unnecessary calories. My chocolate quota is reserved for really down moments, when I really need to up my mood. But I still put up a smile la, my secret santa must be looking at me when I unw...
