Reviewed

Finally I got reviewed on last Friday.

After for 4 long months (3 months + 1 month self extension) probation in this company.

What I've done during this 4 months?
1. Internal supports
2. Involvement in few projects doing system installation & configuration.
3. Attended one day training session on system installation at Singapore
4. Make new friends
5. Get to know/learn new MS products
6. Got real sick & admitted to hospital (Acute Bronchitis with Rhino Sinusitis + Cough Syncope)
7. Got reviewed

End result...not up to my expectation. Should I appeal?

Opps, I admitted again

I went back to the hospital for 2nd follow up visit on 11th July 08. I complained to the physician that I fainted after a small cough, and this happened quite frequent and it's really serious. If I fainted in the car on my way to work/home, that will be extremely dangerous.

The physician - Dr. Thye referred me to neurologist – Dr. Vimalan. I told the neurologist what had happened to me and also what are my worries.

After some basic examination, the neurologist requested me to take MRI, MRA and EEG test to see if there's any blood vassal blockage, any sign of moya-moya disease and vaovagal syncope that causes me semi-conscious fainting. By completing all 3 tests I must be admitted to hospital again.


EEG test - Electroencephalography

Full blood test


Urine and stoll test

The result was normal. I'm a healthy young adult. Just need more rest, take up some exercise and vitamin C. I was discharge from the hospital on the 2nd day.

Total payment for accommodation, drug & medicine, laboratory services, professional doctor fees, and radiology services = RM2783.90.

Opps, I Pengsan Again!

I've not been coughing this whole morning, and that's great news for me, the sign of recovering from severe cough. But I began to cough after I had my lunch.

While I'm waiting at for the lift at the lobby, I had a little cough and continues coughing like a machine gun. I felt numb from my head till the rest of the body. My head, hands and legs began struggling and shacking. Slowly I lost my conscious and then black out.

Few seconds later, the security guard woke me up. The guard told me that I was lying on the floor with arms wide open and head facing on the floor. I rested aside to gain my conscious, my face was very in pain, I guess I must be fall down and hits on the ground very hard.

This is not the 1st time I fainted at public area. I've experienced the same incident while I was having BAH KUT TEH with my auntie last week end. I felt like coughing that, and walked myself to the pedestrian path way, and fainted there. One of the BAH KUT TEH customer realized and helps my way back to my seat. My goodness, that was dangerious.

I also encounter this problem before I was diagnosed suffering from Accute Bronchitis, severe coughing. It's started early this year. i will feel dizzy or fainted while I laugh very hard. I observed the whole process, from the time I cough/laugh and then half fainted.

When I cough, I’ll be coughing out most the air from my lung, and I felt my abdomen squeezes the fluid rushing up to the airway directing to my mouth and nose. This results that I couldn’t resume normal breathing after the cough. At the same time, presure builds in my head, I felt the numbness spreads from my head to the rest of my body. Body become weak, start struggling, shacking, and can’t stand still. After I fall down, I’m still half conscious, just like sleeping with normal breathing. Few seconds later I’ll regain my conscious. And this happen when I laught very hard. Recently there's a write up about a 3 years old boy who could die of laughing. The syndromes are quite similar to mine.


My right cheek was very pain, must be fall down and hits on the ground very hard.

I'll be returning to hospital tomorrow for following checkup. I'll talk about this problem with the physician, hopefully she'll refer me to the right specialist to diagnose the root cause of this probem happend to me.

Mum's upate - 7 July 08

I'm sharing this email, sent by my mum on 7 July 08 to her fellow friends.
------------------------------------------------------

Hello ! Here is Rosemary speaking.

Matthew 25:34-41 Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

Dear Sisters from our Fraser Tower Condo Ladies Bible Study Group,

1. I don’t know how to express my gratitude towards your constant prayer support and your timely practical act of love supplying daily lunches and dinners
to my door steps, not just one day, not one week but for weeks end-on and PTL it is still on-going. I can only sum it all up by proclaiming the name of Jesus Christ, for He is Jehovah Jireh.

2. Dear sisters, God saw my needs and you were instrumental to come to my rescue. His grace is wonderful and abundant. It is certainly sufficient for me. I shall always be reminded of this. In my prayers I am constantly reminded of your love generosity, a thing I shall not be able to re-pay enough. May I seek God for a greater portion of His Grace to each and every one of you and your respective households. May He top up your caring ministry with Icing of Love and Caramel of Joy.

3. About my cancer treatment:

i. Due to my bad liver function condition, now at 20% efficiency, medically there is little hope. On 23 June doctor said I have TWO months to live. That’s right, 2 months he said. Now that was doctor’s conclusion on my life Expectancy. Naturally, I was shock at the news for a while. So soon meh! But I do believe that God’s report on me is not out and He will reveal it to me in His time.

ii. I hang on to my creator and Savior’s promises. And I pray for divine Intervention and healing. I know the Lord will not forsake me to leave me fighting the battle alone. He will be by my side as I journey on.

iii. On 30 June doctor gave me the liver function results. There was a significant drop on some liver enzymes indicators. That was a bit of ‘good news’ but not sufficient to indicate a turn on my cancer for the better. But still it was a result to draw little comfort from.

iv. I am now on oral chemo (Xeloda) at a lower dosage as the doctor found Taxol was too potent for my body. Xeloda comes with numerous side effects. Notablly, tiredness, hand and feet syndromes, mouth soars, hair-drop and etc… I have all these. Please be warn that you will see a bald headed Rosemary the next time you visit me. My soar mouth came for a week and now gone. I am able to resume taking solid food and I am able to conduct a conversation in comfort without the soar. Oh yes indeed, I can enjoy your cooking of solid delicious food once again. How appetizing the thought is!

4. Thank you and thank you for the food.

May His grace, love of Jesus Christ and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all, evermore. Amen!

Sister in Christ,

Rosemary
