I'm home alone at 5 showered and all comfy on a Friday afternoon while the boy's at his monthly meeting.
it's been a long while since I felt so relaxed.
I even had time for tea with Sam!
I left work at 2.30 if you must know.
this Friday has been one filled with pleasant surprises.
I turned up at work all drained to find the medical report on my desk.
I was really anxious about the results.
you see, 2 weeks ago, when the coy organized for a free body check up for staffs,
I extended it to check for the following:
1. tumor marker for ovarian cancer
2. Rubella virus ( which can cause potential birth defects)
3. Thalassemia
4. Hep. A and B vaccination.
as you can see, I have reached the age where my motherly instincts are acting up and I really am envisioning a future which has little tottering feet in it.
Yet, due to my poor health ( think irregular menstrual and like menstrual cramps) I'm always worried that I may not be able to give birth to a healthy child!
hence, when the opportunity presented itself to me, I just NEEDED to know.
did I regret it after taking the blood sample? I sure did.
a part of me wished I didn take it so early,
I should have taken it when I'm ready for family planning.
but well the deed was done and I thank god for the huge amount of distractions that occupied me for the last 14 days till I finally received it today!
All cleared for now. of course I acknowledge that this test is not indicative of other women illnesses as well as birth fertility .. but at least genetically, I'm healthy!
cholesterol are all in the healthy range, so I guess I'm on the right track.
the REAL icing on the cake
came in the afternoon
as I keyed in the data.
I was already expecting the worse
( which is the usual case ) but NOPE!
we weren't the bottom nor the second bottom,
we pulled all the way up to somewhere in the Average range.
you have no idea how very ecstatic I was, that I teared.
it's not the ranking that matters, what matters is WHAT the data reflected.
it showed me an increase in motivation, drive and determination and that's what really matters in the end.
in this job,
I'm not sheltered
and every other day i fight fire
with me being the greatest flame.
I can only be thankful for all the people that been through this year w me,
listening to me rant,
and reaffirming my capability
ESP the boy that has 100% faith in me.
it's not been easy this year,
and I guess for the many years to come.
I just need to hold true to what I believe in.
and you know what?
守得云开的感觉真的很好！
