How was your weekend? My usual lament of a short weekend will not apply for me, because lucky for me we’re heading for a beach vacation to Phuket this week. Truth be told, I was in two minds about the trip as I’m not completely out of the red, so to speak and the bleeding continued though I’m on a 21-days hormone medication.
But since this short getaway is not just for me but also for the family, I decided to see another gyne as suggested by my friends just to ensure that everything is fine as my regular gyne was still away. And I glad I did because this private gyne was able to diagnosed the cause of the heavy bleeding, unlike KKH (what a waste of time and money, $^)&)#).
Anyway according to her, there is just one fibroid that’s causing this problem and she recommended an operation to solve the issue otherwise the same problem will just keep plaguing me every month. And since my health comes first, I’ve decided to have it done next month. Meanwhile, I’ve been prepped up with stronger medicine for the trip and hope I do get the chance to chill in the pool. Otherwise, I’ll just have to take comfort that at least I’m away on a vacation with the family (a third one for us this year) with lots of time to just rest and relax with a coconut in hand.
My family has been nothing but supportive during this rather demoralizing period. So they definitely deserve to enjoy themselves. As for me, being with family is more than I can ask especially one that sees me through thick and thin.
On a happier note, here’s sharing our wonderfully taken family photos by Steph Tan. Steph is a local photographer whom I got to know from my community of mum bloggers. Every year, she does a charity Pass it On campaign to raise money in support of WorldVision’s Sponsor a Child Programme. This year, I made an appointment with her and we were not disappointed.
The venue was at Bishan Park, and the theme was inspired by the movie Up where she used lots of colourful helium balloons.
While I love being behind the camera to capture precious family moments, I’m usually not in most of the photographs. So I’m really glad we did the photoshoot because Steph captured this most treasured moment between Sophie and myself where we were sharing a good laugh.
My favourite photo of us three where little Sophie was squeezed like an orange in her words!
We hope you’ll always have cherished family moments in your homes.
