Grandma in hospital

My maternal grandma just got sent to Singapore General Hospital (SGH). Found that her small intestine got stuck with her big intestine somehow. I don't get it either. So the doctor says that she has to undergo an operation. If the problem left unattended, the pain will continue and it might endanger her life. Undergoing an operation at her old age of 85, with severe heart problem and diabetes, there is a possibility that she might just die on the operation bed. Anyway, my grandma decided to go ahead with the operation.

Hubby and I went to hospital for a short visit last night... I'm glad she's looking OK after yesterday morning's operation. :) Hope she can recover soon.

Lumpy?

Went to Mt. Alvernia Hospital for a follow-up checkup today. Last year 30th Apr, I had removed a fibroid in my left breast. So I'm back to see the doctor after 1 year. At first, I got a slight shock when she was examining my right breast, she said she felt something lumpy. My mind went blank for a moment. Could only managed a "What?" as a reply. Then using ultrasound scan to verify, (phew!) it was just a thick group of breast tissues. Yippee! At least as of now, I don't need to go under the knife again. :P

As for the scar I got from the surgery, not only has it darkened in colour, it has also grown to look like a miniature hill over my skin. It didn't come as a surprise to me as I've got keloid problem. Anyway, the doctor gave me a prescribed cream Elomet to apply over the scar, in a bid to lighten the colour and flatten it. No idea how long it's gonna take before it takes effect, keeping fingers & legs crossed now...
