Incision or surgery? It's done anyway.

Had a minor surgery or what the doctor called incision to remove cyst below my right eye on Saturday 26 June 2010.

It's inside that black dot under my right eye:



I was a bit nervous whilst waiting outside the operations theatre and tried to calm myself by taking my self portrait:



I was even more nervous when I was in the operation theatre itself watching the nurses going through their routine - scrubbing their hands and laying out the surgical apparatus. When the doctor arrived and started adjusting his seat and the operating bed/table I was lying on, I regained my confidence and when the doctor made what he called "a small injection" below my eye it was all history. When the procedure was completed, I tried to take some photos of the cyst which was the size of a rice grain with my mobile phone but to my horror I found that I was not able to do it with one eye patched up. This blurry photo is the best I have:



I did not realise how I looked with the eye patched up until I got into my car and took another self portrait. It's a white patch so as my sister said, I am a good pirate. I then also realised that I could not driver safely with limited vision of one eye only and had to call my son to get my home.



This was how it looked when I took off the patch the next day:



A close up view:



Had a follow-up appointment with the eye doctor this afternoon and happy to hear that the surgery wound is healing nicely. Alhamdulillah. Still waiting for result of the lab analysis on the cyst - any concern the nurse will give me a call. No call means all clear. And this is how it looked today after 5 days:



Oh one consolation remark from my lovely wife: "It's nothing compared to her caesarian operation when our youngest son was born in 1993." No way I can dispute that.

By God's will

There are a lot of things we can plan in life but there are some which you may not plan for but will happen by God's will. After our enjoyable trip to Miri and Singapore my wife was severely suffering from short of breath and the swelling of her feet worsen. She had been complaining of these ailments for nearly the whole of 2009 and last Friday whilst we were in Bandar because I was supposed to attend a company dinner, we decided it was best for her to seek treatment because she could not stand the pain any longer. We spent about 6 hours in the RIPAS Hospital Accident & Emergency Department. The doctor said the swelling was due to excessive water retention and after x-ray the doctor found that she had water in her lungs and had to be admitted immediately.



The evening before that we celebrated my bro-in-law & wife's joint birthdays. They're born on the same date.



Friday morning I was stalking these two insects in my bro-in-law's garden.
