I have lost track on the number of times I have went for my rehab. What my right shoulder can do now is that I am able to raise my arm up till 120 degree. It is still not as straight as it should be. I do still feel alittle tightness on the front keyhole surgery area, which I was told by the therapist that its the tendon area that was affected. I can only do weights of up to 2kg. In another words, I can lift straight up with 1kg or 2 kg dumbbell. I guess this is quite bad because op was done in march, but till now I am still on the road to recovery. I can now totally sleep on the right side with no issue. Life in work hasnt been that bad. From the last updates, 2 staff has quitted and 1 left to further her studies. 3 newbie came and join the team. Recently, I am starting to think about leaving my current workplace for a better pay. I have somewhat told my manager about it. She seems fine with it. My intention of tellng her is not to have her to ask me to stay but because she simply...

Rehab has already started and its my 4th session with NUH. I would say that I improve tremendously because from having atrophy and not been able to move the whole arm at all to now where I am able to raise the arm up to 90 degree and slowly gaining my strength back. Rehab is really an important process that non of us should ignore or heck care about it. I had my bankart and SLAP repair operation done on 21st March 2014, went home with a soft sling and was wearing it for almost a month. I wear it during my sleep so as to prevent myself from unknowingly shifting and moving the arm. I wear it when I am out so as to hold the arm because for the first 3 weeks, I had that loose feeling and little movement of jerking will cause me pain for a short while thus the sling helps to stabilize the shoulder. Basically, wearing the sling can also create an awareness to the people around you. I had my stitches removed on 31st March 2014 and it was then the doctor referred me for NUH rehab. My ...

My path has never been an easy one. Before I start off, I went for my shoulder bankart operation to fix the instability of the shoulder on 21st March. I am given medical leave till 1st May. Thats long right? It seems alittle too long and I was really thinking hard what should I do during this period. Anyway, got that sorted out. I really would like to thank my colleagues for covering me while I am away. They visited me and yes, my mum remains the same, shared with them what she shouldnt share. I have a great bunch of colleagues. The ward therapist came yesterday and I decided to show them my "fantastic" grades in secondary school. And then Ev, one of the therapist "Wow" out and said my grades were never good, especially English and Sciene. True, I admitted. The both were quite shock, particulary sec 4 and 5 comments. What I want to share in this blog is, secondary school,  a phase almost everyone of us has to go through, does determine us on where to go and what...

Thats it. Hopefully it ended well and no worries. 真的没那个胆再去想了. Work is great. Boss is great too. Friends are great. Life is getting better too. I am good too. Till then, take care.

2013 hasn't been really an exciting year for me. I think my thoughts are on the money and bonuses. It was quite a half regret decision to quit the previous job and join the current one though the current job gives a lot of satisfaction that the previous job was unable to give. I do sincerely pray and hope that 2014 will be a better year. Really need to slim down, try to be in a relationship, save enough money to travel, stay healthy and may I bump into or see someone who were once significant to me in my life. As years passes by, the thoughts on my grandma and grandpa is slowly increasing. I was telling my colleague today that the air smells like Chinese New Year air. Do you all at times have such smell that links up to someone and it gives u that pinch of pain in the heart or chest whenever we thought about that person. I admit, I have such pain. 我只能说当我们年纪越大，我们的思考和思想真的一直在扩大。想法和所想的东西跟以前在teenager的时候真的好不一样了。 Take care peeps. Happy New 2014 Year. :)

Yeah, its my 4th time having to dislocate my right shoulder since 2006. I wonder how did I managed to find the courage to pop it back for the first 3 times and the 4th one I couldn't do it and decided to go NUH to have the emergency doctors to do it. It all happened because of a phonecall at ward. I was discussing some cases with the therapist, both of us heard the phone rang so many many times, I decided to just roll over on the chair that I am sitting on, and the next moment, I lost balance, used my right hand to support myself from falling further and "crack" I heard, and I know straight away its dislocated. The first few seconds it felt like that is muscle spasm, but when I tried to move it, I knew it. Anyways, the pain is really indescribable. I am so glad that my senior was there. She was damm calm and didn't make me feel anxious. The doctors responded fast by giving me Tramadol to ease the pain. Seriously, that tramadol helps me much which allows me to tran...

Its almost coming to 3 months of me not blogging. I remember I used to blog almost everyday in the past but ever since I started working in 2008, the entries from me reduced tremendously. Coming to 4 months of been a Medical Social Worker. Its not easy. I seriously appreciate the CC job a lot, the fun we used to have, the jokes, laughter, singings, etc... The current job requires me to face real life problems, problems that its not like 1 + 1 = 2. The job is so meaningful that I think I am stressing myself quite a far bit. I always wanted almost perfect care plan for patients, I mean, there are services out there which has lots of dam discrepancy, but I have that feeling of just applying all the services to the patient, to ensure that they have a smooth transition from hospital to home. You see, most of the patients that comes to the hospital I am working in are of rehab potentials and that's why I see a lot of stroke patient, knee replacement patient, hip fracture patient, amp...
