Out-Patient Rehabilitation

 

They call it Rehabilitation Programme coz it's not only physiotherapy but also support group activities to get me back to my normal life. I thought I could just do with walks around the neighborhood or park, but I guess having similar people to talk too helps as well.

More Chemotherapy

 


Started on chemotherapy when I was still in the hospital. Have more sessions scheduled for the next 6 months at National Cancer Centre. They sell hats and wigs for patients to wear regularly indoors.

Pharmacy Shopping


Making shopping trips to the pharmacy every other day to get medical supplies. Cannot believe how many things I need, at least the items are in stock *whew*. Also taking the opportunity to get them to buy snacks and drinks for me as well.

First Out-Patient Appointment


Made my first trip back to the hospital clinic after discharge. Quite troublesome and time-consuming but I guess it's gonna be like that for the next 6 months at least. Thanking my family for making time to accompany me.

Changes @ Home

 

Finally left the hospital and am home. Adjusting my home life for now at least. The follow-up medical appointments for the next 6 months are starting to look like a part-time job.

Weigh In

 


My weight dropped drastically but still not back to what it was before. Instead of whole meals, I've been snacking on crackers. Lots of wound dressing changes and some new stitches. Found myself in need of sensitive skin soap and moisturizer.
