I appendectomily thank you
I just returned from the hospital so they can take out my stitches.
The photo of my wound was not for the fainthearted, and definitely not for those taking their meals, and I thought of posting it here. But I had a change of heart (not literally, huh!). And so I present to you a posterized photo of my wound.
It doesn't really hurt now. I actually feel fine at that moment, Buddha-sitting while I'm writing this post.
What has the experience taught me?
I learned that I shouldn't definitely take my body for granted. Before my operation, I don't really consider the food I eat. I know that I shouldn't eat meat at least four to six hours before I sleep. But I did. Now I know the culprit behind my acute appendicitis: I put a lot of stress in my digestive system.
I'm changing.
Now, it should be the right food and the right amount of everything, be it water, sleep or sweets. Anything in excess is definitely a no-no.
For this 'homecoming' post, let me allow to thank the following:
♥ My Lord God from whom everything good comes;
♥ My family who gave me courage (my sister told me that my case is only half of her two C-section experiences);
♥ My friends who accompanied me and ate my hospital-food;
♥ The Filipino nurses at Al Fakhry Hospital who nudged me to walk the morning after my operation, and who constantly asked me if I had already passed gas and poo-ed;
♥ And to you, my blogger friends, for your prayers and witty comments about my appendectomy (the pain of laughing out loud with your comments is sweet).
I'm well now and should start blog hopping soon. See you.
Good news ito, buti maayos na kayo.
Sabi niyo 'change of heart', mukhang humahabol pa sa Valentine's Day ah. Pati ang mga 'bullets' ng mga pinasasalamatan heart-shaped din! In love?

Nakonsensya ako, pinagod ko ang aking digestive system kahapon.
Thank God you're alright! Hindi ka pa puedeng mawala OK! 'di pa tayo nagkikita at siempre,Hinihintay ka ng mga readers mo.
About sa changes with your diet, ok yun, just don't forget also to exercise. Laging mag kasama dapat yung dalawa. At Vitamin C para iwas infections at madaling mag heal ang mga sugat.
Welcome back!
Thank you for the reminder of not abusing our body =)
Heal well completely soon -- really really soon!
(blog hopped here from kablogs =) )
Good News yan pre, at sana tuloy tuloy na ang blog hopping, wag na magkakasakit ah...alagaan ang katawan :)
that's what friend are for. lalo na sa ating mga OFW na di natin kapiling ang mga mahal sa buhay. its great to have some good friends around. even di rin so much good mahalaga may sumiliip man sayo kahit konti.
Praise God that you are fine
Huli na ang "change of diet". Natanggal na eh. Kaya ok na ulit kumain ng bulalo, BigMac, broast chicken, french fries, large Coke at lahat ng hilig mong malalangis at ma-cholesterol na pagkain. >: D
welcome back Nebz. ayan lesson learned! I know someone like you, the person had a mild stroke only from then he started healthy eating, bakit kaya ganon ang mga lalaki kung wala pang nararamdaman di pa matitinag sa habbits nila? Asawa ko rin, lately, we, meaning my sister-in-law and me, was telling him that he needs to lose weight hindi cya nakikinig pabanjing-banjing lng ang diet pero later on nung may naramdaman na pain sa legs nya and that i told him that his lower body cannot support the weight of his upper body nun lng nagsimulang magdiet seriuosly. hay naku. nweiz pagaling kayo maigi, miss na nmin ang mga posts nyo.
Your experience is a huge reminder to all of us. I should be scared by now. I eat as if there's no tomorrow. =(
welcome back saken.. i mean sayo pala kuya nebz...hehehe
join the club ng mga may tahi sa katawan... ive my own share.. hehehe(3-c's hehe)
good to know youre okay now... maging tuloy-tuloy po ang paghilom ng iyong sugat...

halos ata ng sakit dito sa lupang buhangin kapareho mo pards..siguro sa kinakain at iniinom.
anyways, pards... take care always!
GOD BLESSED!
Kuya hope you're doing great. Parang ang laki naman ng sugat. Ang co worker ko kasi inoperahan din pero tatlong maliit na sugat lang ang ginawa ng doctor sa Al Dossary. So madaling naghilom.
Ako naman ito.. mag 3 weeks nang inaatake araw araw ng hika.
Glad to know that you're back and maayos na ang pakiramdam after the appendectomy.
great to know you're okay pero alam mo, may tampo kami ni shie sau. paano ba naman, katabi lang ng flat namin ang Al Fakhry Hospital di mo man lang nasabi or napatawagan, hays, hehehe.
Welcome back ha. And gaya ng sabi ko sau kahapon, why not try white meat na lang, sabi ni Shie yan daw ang mga healthy... and di mahirap i-digest. i guess.
