37 days post operation. So much has happened between my scheduled TT and today. It was such a whirlwind of health issues that I'm reeling from dizziness, figuratively and literally. Until recently, I'm dealing with elevated blood pressure, difficulty in sleeping, darts of pain on my wound, discomforts on my neck, etc. One time I had chills.

A Fortuitous Event, Cymplified!
An Itchy Dilemma I am thankful that growing up, I am not allergic to any kind of food. Especially to peanuts, because I love nuts! But, sometimes, some things (or bodies) change. When I was pregnant with my youngest baby, I suddenly became allergic to shrimps, which I also love. It made me sad. I had to have a stash of anti-allergy meds that's safe for pregnant women. Later on, I gave birth and thankfully, it went away. Like my Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in my first pregnancy. Yes! But then, … [Read more...]

Guest Post: Protection For The Little Gymnast, Cymplified!
There was one time my youngest child was interested in gymnastics. I couldn't let her tumble on our hard tiled floor.
