Removing Surgery Wound Dressings

Finally removing my surgery wound dressings. Cannot wait for the medical plugs to go to. It's been more than 2 months since my surgery and the wounds are completely healed. Plan for stitches to go next year.

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.

Diet Changes

 

Got moved to a new ward coz I caught an infection. Started chemotherapy this week. Doctors said no more TCM for me including ginseng and bird's nest. Living on meal replacement drinks.
