Mama on Feeding Tube

Mama was discharged yesterday from the Damai Service Hospital.

They removed the monitoring system and the urine bag the night before and left the feeding tube as Mama is still unable to swallow food. The doctor is still prescribing her steroids as she is still very weak and hopes that with the steroids in place keeping her strong this weekend, we can pull out the feeding tube by Monday or Tuesday.

It was so disheartening to watch her yesterday. Although the doctors had said her tumor and cancer were gone, she is still so weak and unable to do the things that she was able to do a week ago. I also can’t bear to see the feeding tube sticking out from out of her nostril but it’s the best solution for her right now to keep her stomach full and her body strong.

We are at home now doing laundry and stuff today as the sisters are home with Abah. We will visit her today to see how her condition is just as soon as I check out the relacore reviews I’ve bookmarked yesterday ;)

Happy Sunday everyone!

If I Can't Beat It...

I’ve never been one to eat when I’m stressed. In fact I do a complete turnaround which means I won’t have appetite to eat at all and sometimes I would even go on days when I don’t eat at all. However, since I’ve aged (lol) I’ve found that I start to eat when I’m feeling upset or stressed and I’m not talking about small portion kind of eating, I’m talking about a loaf of bread kind of thing.. yikes!

So.. I’m thinking if I can’t control my eating then perhaps I should go for thermogenic fat burners because it increases my metabolic rate, which I swear has gone down the drain with aging as well, and can help to burn more calories every day!

That way.. I can still eat but lose the calories.. hehehe… what do you think?

Cheerio…

Good News

In case you missed my blog entry at my Life’s Pages, you might like to know that Mama’s xray today showed no signs of lung cancer and brain tumor! Yeay!!

Of course the doctor will have to order an MRI to fully conclude this but initial findings showed that Mama might be home-free. Recovery will still be tedious especially since Abah plans to totally weaned Mama of the steroid which would means Mama would be tired and weak all the time. However, since it’s possibly the steroid that is making her ramble non-stop, we’re hoping that would improve as well.

Mama is currently being held for a two day observation at Damai Service Hospital. Good thing too as it is much more comfortable and away from the oncology ward that Mama is so scared off. She keeps saying she don’t want to hear about anything malignant. Not malignant Mesothelioma, not malignant anything. Poor dear!
