Not Sure Yet

Hi Devlin Mum

It's always the Daughters thinking about parents more!

Feel happy for you for your coming "Family Reunion" in Brisbane!

Good news is the Result was what my wife has long been suspected.

Bad News is we're NOT sure at this stage if we're to fly back HK as per our plan.

Then Good News again. Although we may be forced to return HK later, we may stay for the Chinese New Year.

Confusing enough?

So, AFTER my wife had

- 3 days of Very Strict Diet;

- 3 litres of "Special Solution" to drink 23 hours BEFORE the Check Up;

- "NIL BY MOUTH" 21 hours BEFORE the Check Up; and

- 2 hours at the Consultant's Surgery for the Check Up this afternoon;

The Final Verdict is : Appendicitis (As my wife has long suspected)

Although it's not Acute at this moment of time, it is recommedned to have it done a.s.a.p. before it deteriorates.

So, we're back to Square 1.

The Specialist sents us back to the GP that sent my wife to him in the first place!

We've to get a Referral Letter from our GP for a Surgery. The GP apppointment is booked on Thursday at 1000 hrs.

Meanwhile, I've to check my recently purchased PHI and may have to upgrade it - but will read the small prints FIRST.

Whether we could be in HK by early Dec, depedning on how fast my wife can have the Operation scheduled.

Have a Great Family Weekend.

Cheers
Fate

Hi Fate,

Any good news? Can you now go ahead to plan your trip to HK?

Actually, my mom, my second brother, sister-in-law and niece will be coming over in December. Really looking forward to spendi ...

Hi Fate,

First time to get online at home after 2 weeks no internet access from my mum's place and read about your wife's check up result. It is in one way a good news to be able to find out what causes the pain and then be able to take action upon it. With the family's support, I am sure your wife will recover very fast.

If the trip in early Dec is not feasbile, staying thru. Chinese New Year also sounds good too as your family have not been spending CNY in Hong Kong for sometimes now right?

Wishes you and your family all the best.

Good morning Fate,

It's good to know the root of the problem and, most important of all, it's not a life threatening one. I hope the doctor is able to organise the operation for Mrs. Fate :lol: soon and that she'll have a speedy recovery.

If you won't be going back to HK until around CNY, we'll probably drop by to say hello to you and family if my niece wants to go to Underwater World to try diving with the sharks. She also mentioned that she would like to go to the beach ... we're thinking of Bribie Island, it's really beautiful up there and there's also a dog off-leash area, our Golden Retriever just loves it there.

Have a good day and please send my regards to Mrs. Fate.

Could Be A Good Thing

Hi ngmammy

So, you have been enjoying some Tranquility - a Quieter Life without Computer!

There is a Chinese Old Saying,

"Small Illness is a Blessing"

And I suppose it is quite True in some sense, as this serves a Blunt Reminder of the need to have a Better and Healthier Lifestyle, the need to be with our Loved Ones More Often etc.

Mrs Fate is already quite good now - I can tell when she starts shouting as she normally does!

Yes, you're right, the last time we're in HK for the Chinese New Year was back in 2005 - when we're staying at the Salisbury YMCA in TST, enjoying this Firework Display at its rooptop!!

Our boys love the Chinese New Year, as they know they will be instantly richer with all these "Lai See" coming from all directions!!

Thanks for your Concern and you keep well too.

Cheers
Fate

The Future

Good Morning Devlin Mum

Thanks for your Concern and I've passed on your Regards to Mrs Fate.

Yes, it's nice to know the Bottom of the Problem - which is at the Bottom of the Intestine!

Mrs Fate is very busy now in packing things as we're to move into a new apartment unit next Friday, even though it is also a fully furnished one!!

Yes, do come to Sunshine Coast and enjoy!
Enjoy the holiday Mood, enjoy the Beaches!

You must be very well off - we can't afford a dog!

And I'm not sure if Underwater World wil let your dog in - just in case it gets too excited and may be......too hungry!

Brible Island, a good idea - I never set my foot on it.

See how the Future unfolds - to be in HK or to stay in Australia for the Summer holiday.

Either way, we're Happy as long as our boys are Happy!

Talk to you soon.

Cheers
Fate

Stuck

Hi Devlin Mum

In a way, yes. My younger boy is Allergic to Feathers!

Also, because of our previous professions, my wife and I had seen/been aware of many incidents involving dogs, whereby they caused serious injuries even to their owners.

We're not suggesting that EVERY dog is like this, but we are kind of very mindful of the "Animals' Instinct".

Meanwhile, we're kind of Stuck at the moment.

Mrs Fate saw the GP earlier today, who wrote her a Referral Letter, enabling her to consult a Surgeon regarding the Appendicetomy.

But, when I rang the private hospital, the earliest time for an appointment to see (just seeing NOT having the operation!) a Surgeon is 23 Nov!!!

Since we were initially thinking about visiting HK in early Dec and now our recently purchased PHI confirms NOT covering this, we may as well go ahead with our initial plan and have the Appendicetomy done in HK!!

We'll re-examine the options again tomorrow.

Have a Great Evening.

Cheers
Fate

Running Around

Good Morning Devlin Mum

That's exactly what we've been doing this morning after dropping off our boys at school! Running Around!!

The other one is worse - not available until 6 Dec!!

The third one - we couldn't even locate his Surgery, as he'll come down to the local private hospital only if he's on demand.

As such, we're back to Square 1 - went back to the first Surgeon and booked an appointment - now it's 26 Nov instead of 23 Nov!

Still, my wife has been contacting her Nursing Friends in HK, enquiry about the possibility in having it done in HK - so that we can still proceed with our initial plan of visiting HK from early Dec!

Thanks for your Concern.

And have a Relaxing Day!

Cheers
Fate

Hi Fate,

Hope all is well.

It is quite true that I like many others are somehow, without knowing, are addicted to computer and it has basically gone into my daily living. The first few days without computer/internet access at my parents were VERY painful. But afterward it was OK and even start enjoying the peace and quiet. So it was indeed a true relaxing holiday!

Another Twist

Hi ngmammy

May be we're all Get Used To having Computer/Internet Overtaking our Lives, and can never go back!

In fact, "Get Used To" is a very Interesting Remarks.

Just like people Get Used To overspend on Credit Card!

Just like my boys Get Used To fight each other!

Just like we're Get Used To being bullied by our Boss!

But Mrs Fate does NOT Get Use To the Severe Pain.

So, I rushed her to the Emergency this morning, where she was waited for 2 1/2 hours ONLY before being seen by the Principal Medical Officer, who then deicided to give my wife a I V Drip.

It was not a good feeling when being in a hospital for so many hours, especially when one has NOT have her breakfast!

The PMO stated the Surgeon will call us in about a week time. My wife was then discharged and being given a presciption for anti-biotics.

There is always something Unexpected happen.

But this time, one thing is Expected to happen,

We're to be in our new apartment unit the coming Friday!

Have a Sure Happy Monday!

Cheers
Fate

Hi Fate,

Oh dear, could feel the frustration from you and Mrs. Fate waiting at the emergency in pain for hours! Hope this time, the surgeon could arrange a faster time for the operation so that Mrs. Fate could relief from the pain once and for all.

Take good care..
