Account of the Operation
Leave ako kahapon kaya buong araw kong naihanda ang sarili ko sa pagpunta sa doktor kanina. hehe
Sinamahan ako ni Mike since naka-leave sya today. At ayun, natutulog sya sa sofa sa loby ng hospital habang inooperahan ako.
Pagpasok ko sa room before sa operating room, pinahubad ng nurse ang shoes ko at binigyan ako ng sleepers, gown at hair cap. Hubarin ko daw ang mga damit ko at isuot yun. Tapos pinapasok na ako sa OR. Weird ng feeling, akala ko kasi minor surgery na parang sa table lng ng doktor ako ooperahan. Nung pinahiga na ako sa operating table, lalo akong na-creep out. Tpos pinuna pa nung isang nurse na may pedicure ako, kapag daw i-cauterize ako, tatanggalin daw nila yung nail polish ko. Ngek napaisip naman ako, "wahhh... bat naman ako iko-cauterize??!"
Mga ilang minuto pa, pumasok na yung doctor at sinimulan na nya ang procedure. Kahit na pwede kong makita kung ano ang ginagawa nya sa kamay ko, i opt not to look. Pero after 20mins ata, itinuturo na nya sa akin yung sac ng cyst. Hmmm, nde naman pala masyadong creepy. Less that 1cm lang ata yung cut, at meron akong 2 stitches.
One hour yung operation. Lumabas ako na may bandage ang kamay ko.
Nagpunta kami ni mike sa Ayala for lunch, at para bumili ng gamot (antibiotic at pain reliever). Nde ko pwedeng galawin ang kamay ko. Wish ko lang nde ako mahirapan mag-work sa monday, dahil late na mag file ng leave kung sakali.

Tendon cyst
I went to the doctor kanina. Meron kasi akong parang bukol sa right wrist ko. akala ko nung una may buto na namamaga, or dahil sa uric acid. Sai ng doctor, tendon cyst daw un. Nung nag-browse ako sa net, nalaman kong tinatawag din itong ganglion cyst. Hindi naman sya cancerous, nde rin sya masakit. Actually, pangit lang sya tingnan. Nagbigay ng 3 options ang doctor ko
a. leave it as it is
b. have it aspirated (with big possibility na uulit)
c. incision (minor surgery, lesser possibility na mag-recur)
syempre ask ako ng consequences ng surgery, sabi wala naman daw, maliit lang ang sugat. walang preparation (hindi ko kailangan mag-fast prioir sa surgery) at after ng surgery pwede ko na daw gawin ang mga kailangan kong gawin for the day. sabi ko sa doctor, payag na ako sa minor surgery.
ngek... ninenerbyos ako, never pa kasi ako na-hospitalize, much more maoperahan.

24th birthday
i've just turned 24 today. salamat sa mga nakaalalang bumati. i usually don't plan anything for my birthday but today was different. we've been planning this day for months. Well, not really because it is my birthday, but because my college friends are getting together to watch harry potter 4. secondary na lang (i think) yung birthday namin ni karen .. hehe
We bought our ticets 2 weeks ago sa gateway cineplex10. The experience in that cinema was so wonderful. While watching you cannot think of anything, comfy chair, popcorn, drinks, good movie... hay sana nde na natapos.
After the movie, si lola aileen hindi na makatayo sa upuan, namitig daw ang binti nya at locked and knee nya. hehe
Tapos we went to have our very late lunch (at around 3:30pm) sa Dencios. Then nag-bump-car sila sa Fiesta Carnival then nag videoke kami sa ali-mall hahaha.
Yun lang... ^_^

waiting 4 HP4
my friends and i are gonna watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire on Saturday. We have had our tickets bought 2 weeks ahead of time. hope it will be fun.
i was even listening to my audiobook copy of HP4 so that i won't have to bug my friends asking them for details on the events while watching the movie. yeah, i was like bugging them for details while watching the first three. ^_^ though i don't think i'll be able to finish the audiobook before saturday, i'm only in chapter 19, and it's up to chapter 37. hehehe

early christmas shopping
I just got home. I decided to do an early christmas shopping this year so as to avoid the rush on December. I was with my mother, sister and my friend, Karen. We had a good time though our feet are sooo tired. I'm happy with my gifts I hope they'll like it.
I'm done with my shopping for my inaanak(s), but i still have to shop for other gifts. I have more than a month to do that.
