Entropion Correction Surgery Follow-up 2

3 weeks post-op.

I told the doctor about the my eye lashes. Still showing no signs of growing out! She just said I should wait and see if they grow out again :\

But since there aren't much lashes, I can't tell if they are still rubbing against my eye.

I think I look pretty much the same compared to pre-op. The eyelid is flipped out, so it does seem to help.

All Bow Before The King

I asked the driver, Mr L, to drop me at Tiong Bahru MRT and he very kindly (and risking getting complained...) drove me to the lift entrance just so that we could save 1min of walking. Thanks!

Entropion Surgery Bill

The bill for my entropion surgery arrived in the mail.



Received about 62% in subsidy, with the rest payable by Medisave.

Death of the Lashes

10+ eyelashes fell out at the same time on my left eye! WHY!? Does the surgery kill lashes? Botak now :((

S.E.A. Aquarium

Since I couldn't go overseas, I made do being a local tourist. I know I was supposed to stay away from crowded places, but... WHO CARES. I've got my eye ointment on, can right? I think I'm only starting to look almost normal.

Entropion Correction Surgery Follow-up

How blissful to be able to sleep my fill everyday! I have been trying to stick to a normal schedule - by which I mean being with my computer for as long as I can XD

Today, I went for the post-op follow-up. Doctor said everything looks fine. We will only know the outcome when the scar forms and stabalizes, which will be in 6 months. Wa that's a long time.

Actually, I think the result is still asymmetrical. O well, this is not cosmetic surgery, I guess symmetry is a low priority.

She asked me whether I was doing the cold and warm compresses, and what I thought of them, especially the warm compress as they have just started asking patients to do it upon feedback from other patients. Uh... made me feel like a guinea pig!

I asked the doctor regarding the MC. She was astonished - she has instructed to give me 2 weeks! So the MO geh kiang lah! So irritating!

The doctor asked if 1 more week was enough - I could rest till the end of the month if I liked!! Woh woh, I would love to, but I can ill-afford to! She re-issued the MC for 3 weeks.

Lunch was EAT's bak chor mee at Square 2. I noticed syrups and Bake King artificial flavoring at a fruit juice kiosk.

So much for healthy, natural drinks. Reminds of me the cut-fruits and juice stall my class ran for the school funfair in Sec 1. Our form teacher told us that we must add some syrup to lower the cost. Must thank her for teaching us the realities of life at a tender age of 12+.

My colleagues sent me a fruit basket! Even for something as minor (and almost unnecessary) as this :D

Feels like I'm out to cheat the company of a fruit basket!

My break of the year has arrived!

A friend shared this deal on deal.com.sg.

鸿阁素食馆

Mother's Day dinner! She gets to choose. She has been eyeing 八宝素食馆 next to the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple. Unfortunately, seating is only available from the second storey onwards, so it is inaccessible for me.

WYPIWYG

(Probably today)

On the way back home, the Irritating Guy was lamenting to the driver, Mr L, about the service he has been receiving at Some People Died.

Iron Man 3 & Mata Thai

Tomorrow is a public holiday. Make full use of it!

Collecting My New IC & Passport

ICA called to inform me to come down personally to do my IC since my thumbprint is unclear.

Last Spree

My Queen Helene Mint Julep mask is running out soon. It's just been a couple of years, but it seems that sprees have gone out of fashion. O no!

Galileo 2

:DD

The new female lead took some getting used to. Are they using the male lead to propel starlets?

10/10, easily.

To a Less Poor Future!

Check out my new therapy fees!

Revised for the better. Cheers!

Jap Buffet and G.I. Joe

Ala carte buffet lunch at Irodori Japanese Restaurant at Riverview Hotel. This cosy (read: small) restaurant fills up quickly. The waitresses are local/Malaysian aunties, which contributed to the non-Japsy atmosphere. The only thing Japsy there are the deco and food.

Therapy Fees Reduction

Since the start of the year, my PT and OT have informed me that they might have to convert me from "active" therapy to "maintenance". Today, this has been confirmed.

Farewell & Visit to Office

This week, my laptop gave me a health scare. The fan became damn noisy for no reason. I thought that was the harddisk. Phew. Anyway, it became a reason to retire the aging machine.

It so happened that my team was having farewell lunch at Casuarina Curry Restaurant. I could go to office later to pick up my new laptop.

Tonbi

とんび

Came across raving reviews for this dorama, which follows a man's journey of single-parenthood with his son. 常盤貴子 acting as a mum! It's the touching, family kind, quite different from the genre I usually watch. Maybe the first and last is ひとつ屋根の下. No harm checking it out...

The father is an idiot who's still shy among his family. Funny while you are watching it as a third party, but I think I will be friggin' frustrated if I were his family. Now I know why 常盤貴子 could allow herself to play a mum... her character died young.

It also helps that there's a cute guy in the show :P

Doctor Down!

2 days before my appointment, the ortho clinic called to inform me that Dr L is on hospitalization leave...

Hosp... hospitalization leave? Not just MC? Seriously!

My appointment will be postponed till June and if I was ok with it. Otherwise, I could still stick with my current appointment and another doctor will attend to me.

Totally ok! I don't want to see any other doctor. From experience, his kah kias all don't know what to do. Till date, I still can't fathom why. Coz Dr L is too domineering?

No idea what's wrong. Hope he's fine already.
