Day 30 Post-Op

 1 May 2021

        Exactly one month ago, I went under the knife. As it was my first experience of surgery, I was rather apprehensive. Now reflecting on the entire experience, from pre-op assessments to the day of operation itself, I can only sing high praises of all involved. The long wait one has to endure at the public hospital is a valid reason why many choose to turn to private hospitals. But if the reason given for going to private hospitals is because the doctors and nurses are better, then that person is sorely mistaken. I can attest to the fact that the medical team at the public hospital is excellent! 

Bye bye, butterfly!

        I praise God that my recovery has been really excellent too. There's no denying that there are some darker days but I've been so blessed with loving and supportive people around me. And one of them is hubby dearest. 💖

        Ever since my diagnosis, throughout the days leading up to my surgery and this past month after my total thyroidectomy, Derrick has been a real gem. He lavishes gentle care and treats me like a Princess. Whenever he sees me tired, he would suggest eating out or he would take over the cooking. Sometimes, like today, we cook in tandem.
