kenapa tetibe aku rajin update blog..

korang notice tak tetibe mE so rajin update blog...
kate internet kat opis tak boleh akses blog..kate bizi...tapi nih boleh jer update blog kan...

sebenarnye...
i was on medical leave for two weeks..
yup sebaik balik dari the unplanned trip on 2nd October, on the 3rd October dah start keje balik..jet lag tok sah cerita memang disaster..tapi 1st day relax jer jer kerja as if nothing change...masuk 2nd night back in Malaysia..haaaaa..hamik jet lag datang lagi...balik kerja ngantuk giler-giler..tertido kejap by pukul 10malam dah terbangun dan mata kembali bersinar bagaikan mentari pagi.. -_-' on the 4th terpaksa emergency leave..and since on 5th i've scheduled for thyroid operation...perasaan adalah sangat cuak..

yup, you read it right..i already schedule for thyroid operation..

kenapa..?
sebenarnyer dah notice ade pembengkakkan di leher since 2007..mase tu lepas grad. so pergi check up dekat klinik kesihatan..amik blood test semua dan follow up dengan hospital putrajaya dengan ultra sound..nothing was reported.

times flies to 2009...
masa tu kerja dengan kampeni xXx..since they provide a very good insurance coverage, decided to go for full medical check-up. masa tu buat dekat gleneagles, amaik executive screening plus ultrasound for thyroid. buat medical check up nih pun sebenarnye mainly nak focus untuk thyroid sekali jumpe pulak bende lain -_-'.

tapi untuk thyroid memang ade goither. tapi mE refuse for operation sebab dah imagine kene sembelih -_-'. so prefer untuk amik ubat. i just know that ubat yang doctor bagi mase tu actually hormon thyroid. tapi masa tu makan untuk sebulan..no significant changes detected. bengkak kat lehar tak berkurangan dan tak bertambah. so sendiri decided tak nak continue. then dah resign from xXx..dah dah tak amik kisah sangat pasal thyroid nih.

2011..demam..terasa sakit and bengkak kat leher.
serious mase nih cuak..sebab all this while tak pernah rase sakit bengkak. pergi klinik..doctor cakap dier bagi ubat surut bengkak tengok seminggu kalau tak hilang amik blood sample sebab it might be cancer. seriyesli doktor..!! 1st diagnose dah cakap macam tu. so makan jer lah ubat surut bengkak..so memang after a week bengkak hilang. tapi nak pergi buat blood test untuk detect cancer..? memang tak buat lah. seriyes tak ready for anything like it. cuak kot.

2012..yeay dah selamat kawen. eh cerite lain pulak. hehehe..
en.suami do aware of this abnormal enlargement on my neck. mase mula-mula kenal pun dier dah suruh buat blood test. but nothing wrong with my thyroid hormon level so memang buat tak tahu jer. sambung cerite balik. so around september..again sakit bengkak yang 2011 datang balik. so again pergi klinik..klinik yang berlainan lah of course. the doctor was so profesional..he said he can't prescribe any medication he wrote a referral later to KJP Selangor (we decided on this hospital since gleneagles too far from shah alam).

10th September scheduled appointment with one of ENT specialist kat KPJ Selangor, Dr. Soni. straight away buat ultrasound and consult Dr. Soni. from the ultrasound, Dr said there is an abnormal enlargement at my thyroid gland both left and right. some of the bengkak is starting to build up calcium which is not a good sign. mase nih memang dah kering kan hati..sebab it might lead to cancerous. T_T so doctor suggest for total removal of thyroid gland. sebab kalau tinggalkan sebahagian there is possibilities untuk bengkak balik and kene operate lagi..so buang semua terus dan makan hormon for the rest of my life. we decided for operation soon as back from holiday. sebab kalau nak buat mase tu afraid tak sempat recover by the time holiday. (good decision sebab after 2 weeks pun my voice still haven't recover)

let's learn something about thyroid ^_^

this is where the gland situated in our body
left and right lobe as i said earlier

thyroid gland manufactures two essential hormones – thyroxine (also referred to as T4) and triiodothyronine (also referred to as T3). kadar rembesan hormon di tentukan oleh kelenjar pituitary yang mendapat arahan dari hypothalamus. (semua nih functioning kat otak kite lah senang cite)

how the cycle goes.

kalau terlebih hormon called Hyperthyroidism, and the symptom are as below;

• weight loss, despite a normal or increased appetite
• nervousness, agitation and anxiety
• tiredness
• physical weakness (muscular)
• rapid pulse
• tremor (shaking) of the hands
• sweating and sensitivity to heat
• diarrhoea

kalau kurang hormon pulak called Hypothyroidism, and symptoms are as below;

• lethargy and tiredness
• feeling cold (even on warm days)
• difficulty concentrating
• unusual weight gain
• depression
• puffiness of the face
• hair loss
• dry skin
• constipation

note: you can read more on the thyroid here.

as in my case..my hormon level was just on the right amount required by the body. normally the enlargement of thyroid gland is cause by hypothyroidism sebab hormon kurang so the gland was forced to produce more, hence the gland akan bengkak la..sebah kerja lebih. well, since my hormone level is normal..we need to inspect on why there is enlargement. 

on 5th October 2012..i had undergo the operation to remove the thyroid gland. was on GA for about 4 frikking hour..seriously tak suke operation...tak suke the feeling of waking up after the operation. dah la operate kat leher..mase sedar tu ok lagi..tapi biler start rase banyak kahak dalam tekak dan nak buang punyer lah seksa..rase nak nangis jer..  T_T 

was warded for 3 days. and only consume bubur, roti and biskut cecah milo for a week. suara memang hilang till today tak recover lagi. yup they are the side effects after the operation. sebab the gland is wrapping your trachea and vocal cord. during the operation memang tak boleh elak untuk this two to get injured. -_-'
doktor kate..paling cepat 3 minggu baru leh dapat suara ku balik..uwaaaa... T_T insyaAllah.

well that it..
the reason why i was so free to update the blog. in total dah sebulan mE cuti wooo..next Monday start kerja seperti biasa. 

nak tengok parut operation x..? letak kecik jer kalau berani besar kan sendiri eh..since diri sendiri tak nampak pun parut nih..so memang tak kisah jer..lalala tapi bile tengok cermin T_T sobs..sobs..giler otai parut kat leher terus..

dah macam kene kelar jer rupernyer

ok lah..nanti-nanti i'll update more keyh ;) penat dah menaip. panjang kot entry nih..
