My 1st post since last year

As I had put on record in my last post (from last year), I have had a really bad year in terms of my health and luck as well. Not long after my last post, my PC crashed and a lot of my files (especially my artwork) were lost.

Yes, I do back up my files but unless you perform back-ups weekly, there is bound to be some collateral damage when a PC crashes.

Anyway, in the time when I was down, I spent more time to consume the content I usually didn't manage to, in hopes of lifting my spirits and in turn, help with my healing.

These are some of the content I consumed.

 

 

Of the contents here, my highest recommendation goes to Blue Eye Samurai. I give it a 9.2/10. Easily the best Animated content I'd watched in the last 10 years. I'd definitely want to watch it again.

The worst entry goes to Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. 

Out of action - Mar 2024

I had been out of action for a few months. Not bed-ridden out of action but constantly tired out due to lack of sleep.

I had a persistent cough that gets really aggressive at night (11pm-4am) and disrupts sleep. There were a couple of times that I didn’t manage to sleep at all and the following day was basically gone. 

I noticed the cough sometime in early Dec 2023, maybe around Dec 6 or Dec 7. Since then, I'd been to see several General Practitioners and finally to the ENT Specialist after none of the meds work (incl. 2 rounds of anti-biotics). 

So back to my ENT, Dr Koay Cheng Boon (https://jmerb.blogspot.com/2017/12/my-journey-5-years-after-being.html). 

After a CT Scan, he concluded that I had severe bacteria & mucus infection across my entire face (sinuses). My situation was made worse by my deviated septum and perpetually swollen nasal turbinates. Making it hard to even breathe when cough aggressively at night.

So I had to undergo a procedure to correct these 3 situations.

1) Septoplasty - Straighten my deviated septum (S-Shaped)

2) Turbinectomy - Reduce my swollen nasal turbinates

3) Endscopic Sinus Surgery - Clear the infected sinuses

I was admitted to the Sunway Medical Centre on 10 Mar 2024 and had my operation done on 11 Mar. The procedure took maybe approx. 1 hour. I was looking at the clock when the Anaesthetist put me under at 3.50pm. I was completely out. When I woke up, I was out of the Operating Theatre and it was 5.25pm.

Then was discharged the next day on 12 Mar 2024. 

 I thank & praise God that the operation went smoothly and need not stay another night at the hospital for observation.
