I AM BACK

I AM BACK as promised in my last entry. Hee hee ... The kidney biopsy procedure was done. Luckily, nothing bad happens during the procedure and I was able to go home on Wednesday afternoon. But I could not walk properly and there is pain at the place where they poke the needle in. There is a small hole (5mm in diameter) now at my back where my left kidney is.

The doctor gave me 2 days medical leave to rest at home and I cannot carry heavy things. I actually have to lie in bed and not move around too much, which is a big problem for me cos' I don't sleep in such manner. I tend to curl up sideways :(. Anyway, for the sake of my health, I better listen to the doctor so for the past few days, I actually lie down or sit down most of the time.

Yesterday, I went for acupunture to relief my joint pains. Am feeling something wrong with my hips, and the most likely cause is the penisolone that I am taking. It causes the bone to be brittle. I also bought a cookbook for Lupus patient. It is in Mandarin and written by a Taiwanese who is also suffering from Lupus.

Am feeling quite ok today, so most probably I will be able to get back to work tomorrow. I will have to go back to the hospital in 3 weeks time for the biopsy review and see whether my kidneys are affected by the lupus or not.

Next week, I will go to 四马路 to thank 观音 for her protection during the procedure. This is my way of showing my gratefulness. Mmm.... I will ask her to continue to protect me .... ho ho ho...
