Me Time!

[Funz]

For immediate family and close friends I have no qualms about telling them the results. For others, std reply when asked was ‘within expectations’. Most will get it and leave it at that. For those who pry more, I will ask them ‘why, you gonna pay for the school fees?’ That usually shut them up.

I auto woke up at 5am. Told myself everything carved on stone liao, likely can only get the 'excitement' later. Been teasing dd on and off past few days. Dh says nothing much to be anxious abt actually. Only 2 outcomes at a familiar place. Dd hoping for 3rd outcome and mommy scared of 4th outcome.

Good luck! Hope your DD gets what she wished for. She's right, there's really nothing to be anxious about. If the results are good, well, the next question is whether she can maintain her \"standard\". If no good, then the question is how she can work harder and strive for a better outcome in the future.

There is always that NEXT TIME.

Thanks chief. My only worry is child couldn't handle disappointment well. Both dh and I kept bringing her to think of the more possible outcome scenario.

Actually all of us including our kids have to learn how to handle disappointment because everyone will encounter it in life.

We ourselves need to be aware of our body and symptoms as well. Insist on further and comprehensive tests if symptoms persist. Doctors, especially those in public health care are caught in a situation where they have to balance investigative procedures and cost for patients and may resist sending patients for more tests if they are unsure. That was our experience with my dad. They kept diagnosing him with gastric issues, reflux, wear and tear of his esophagus due to age that is why he keeps getting feelings of heart burn and tightness in his chest. Only when my dad insisted on further tests especially for the heart and told the doctors cost is not an issue for him, then they referred him to a specialist. That was when they found out that all his major arteries were more than 75% blocked. They did an immediate stent as a temporary measure while they scheduled all sorts of tests for him leading to a triple bypass. I also feel that not having the same doctor attending to him each time he visits the hospital or clinic also hindered the diagnosis or the decision for further tests. In my dad's case, he knows that heart issues can present itself like gastric issues or heartburn and he also knows that what he was feeling was not the usual gastric discomfort and he dared to challenge the doctor's diagnosis. I will say many of us will differ to the doctor's opinion especially when the diagnosis is something 'benign', they are the professionals afterall. We tend to challenge only if the diagnosis is something bad.

Yea, for some like DH, will pursue for a better informed solution. He kept proding me to get 2nd opinion, etc. Not everyone is sensitive to our body responses/prompting. I rmbr an ex-boss amazes me that she can feel exactly when her eggs are released fr her fallopian! 😯😳 I kept kicking myself for some years down but eventually I didn’t bother myself over it as life goes on.
