Everything is going smooth...ops was done...mum's healing well except for the 1st 2 days when she had a fever but that was all over....but come 4 jan, we'll know if chemo is needed...i really hope that is not necessary...esp when she seems so happy when she could finally go out on her own after those drainage pipes were removed on thurs
Op: $78.15 (1117 bucks paid thru medisave)
Follow-up with nurses: $98.40 (including 2 wks worth of antibiotics)
Date is fixed: 17 Dec. But first, the BP needs to go down. Less salt, less oil, more steamed dishes, more celery!
Today's Damage: $25 (Consultation Fees)
Gynae scan all cleared! Thank gdness!
Damage for today: $75
** 2-min consultation just to hear the doc say "the scan is good!" = 65 bucks ** gynae scan = 80 bucks** govt subsidy = 75 bucksI really wonder if the govt subsidy is THAT much
It used to be alien
I never thought it will happen to someone I know, let alone my own mum....I'm starting to dislike going to NUH but at least the nurses and docs there always carry a smile on their faces though that doesn't make it easier by half....but then again, I'm RELIEVED coz' it's contained...I just hope that everything will go smoothly and she'll recover soon...but it is going to be a tough 2-6 mths ahead at the very least...I will be strong and have faith. Oh, and I need to start being thrifty.

Words
Saw a police signboard at blk 10 today, appealing for witness to a 'Snatch Theft' which occurred yesterday....
Why must they use the words 'snatch theft'? Isn't that simply equivalent to the word 'robbery'? Is 'snatch theft' more commonly used or more easily understood? Besides, how can a 'theft' be committed in 'snatch' mode? A 'theft' is supposed to be done unknowingly, without the victim finding out until much later.....
