February was fabulous; with long weekends of back to back public holidays and bi-weekly birthday celebrations, I couldn't have asked for more. My March, however, is not going to fair equally, this was confirmed when I plotted appointment and event dates in my schedule. March is going to be a mad, mad month.
When 1st March came knocking early in the week, it didn't quite roll in right for me. I had one of my worst migraine attacks and had to stay home to nurse the grueling, throbbing pain. Went to see the doctor for medication to help clear the head banging. Together with the drugs, came a long lecture about rest and exercise and what nots. Yes, I know everything she said was absolutely right. Must listen to her...must be dead serious about taking things easy now.Alarmed by the pain I was experiencing, I got the doctor to do me a blood test. Cholesterol, diabetes and hypertension were my main concern and if there was something not right, I'd want to be in the know. The doctor got two small tubes of my blood and later informed that results would be available on the following day. In the meantime, relax, take things easy and wait - that was what she told me to do.
The next 24 hours wasn't at all comforting, kept thinking how the result would fair. Anxious, edgy and agonized, that was how I felt the entire day. Tried to have positive thoughts but intermittently depressing images came bothering.
Though I was eager to know, I felt the need to fully prepare myself of the outcome - good or bad. I gave myself some cooling off time before heading back to the doctor's clinic. And it was only today; four days later, I finally gathered my guts and collected my health "report card".
How did I fair?? Good actually; despite all my worrisome imaginations, I passed with flying colours . Sugar level was good, cholesterol level - normal, kidney function - good and there were no symptoms of hypertension detected. Alhamdulillah.....fuhhh legaaa.
So, what next? A full medical, that was her advice. Alright, doc I'll get that done too; after all prevention is better than cure, don't you think so?

Alhamdulillah, Kay :)
Kay..you buat full medical check-up kat UH better..they are more thorough. Maklang punya sister is a family specialist there..you tanya her how to get one there okay.
Kadang2 kat private hospital semua okay clear walaupun kita rasa ada something wrong in our body..so be safe and sure..go and have your full medical checkup there.
p.s. I have the doctor's number.
alhamdulillah...legaaaaa kan :D
Kay, Alhamdullillah and more trips to the spa to be pampered.
on another note, hop over to my blog perhaps there's something that might interest your Nisa.
Dear Naz,
Syukur pada Tuhan, indeed. But really have to work on the exercise routine :)
Dear Mamasita,
Yes, I will do that. I'll contact you for the number later okay. Hope the doctor can slot me in. You know how it is with gov hospital doctors. They have so many patients, more than they can manage. I pulak got no time to wait....terkejar here and there..sigh
Yay! Can have another round of kambing. Then eat neutralize it with lots of olives.
Dear Lyana,

Dear Kak Teh,
Yes, it's time for spa again. Problem is, even my weekends are packed.
I'll check out your blog soon :)
Dear TM,
No kambing, not until I shed a few kilos more. It's walk, walk, walk and swim, swim, swim for me from now onwards.
Next kambing when eh? June? July?
Aunty Kay,
