Here’s a REAL update to all my loyal followers (yes I’m looking at 3 of you). PLEASE FEEL HONOURED that I actually updating it JUST. FOR. YOU. ヽ(・∀・)ノ
Just to let you know, the reason why I haven’t been updating this blog was because I put in a fancy super secure password on my WordPress and proceed to forget about it and accidentally got it locked (╥﹏╥). I mean honestly that’s just typical me isn’t it?
Since then I have passed my driving test (FINALLY) which I then proceed to dent my car door by turning into a gate 2 days later 。゚・ (>﹏ <) ・゚。 , get my garden robbed and my electric bicycle stolen, spilled water in my lovely Samsung Z Flip3 which caputed the entire phone, have insurance company investigate me for potential fraud due to number of claims I have . (╥╯θ╰╥) (Mr. Monday broke the TV last year, and I cracked my Samsung Note 10+ early this year.
I never realised I’m such a klutz (」°ロ°)」. Is this what makes me cute?? ( ̄ε ̄@). Not only physically but I’m also socially a klutz and keep missing what’s between the lines when people talks to me. ┐( ̄ヮ ̄)┌
My maternity leave with Lil’Tuesday ended about 3 months ago and I’ve been back at work since. I started working 3 days a week and slowly increase to 4 days now. It’s so tiring to spend full day at work and to come home to tons of housework and needing to cook dinner (ಥ﹏ಥ. At one point I broke down and ranted at Mojuju’ YOU CANNOT EXPECT ME TO WORK FULL DAY, AND COME HOME TO BE YOUR MAID, YOUR NANNY AND YOUR CHEF!!!! ‘.
I think it’s something a lot women struggle with when they first return to work. Because during maternity leave, you’re at home and you do literally EVERYTHING. 。゚・ (>﹏ <) ・゚。. Then when you get back to work, the man still expects you to do everything because it has been that way for the past 9-12 months!
Mojuju is slowly picking up his weight now. And although I hate take aways, we do get takeaways especially when I come home late from work. ┐( ̄ヮ ̄)┌. Well either that or I get burn out…. I’m positive things will improve!
Other than that, I’m truly enjoying my job. I realised that being a GP is truly my calling. To educate the people about their health, and to prevent deterioration of their existing health issues (we call it primary prevention) is at the heart of my practice and principles . ヽ(・∀・)ノ. I newly diagnosed someone with high blood pressure: there was family history of stroke, so she likely would get stroke if her blood pressure were to be untreated. She cried when I told her about the risk of high blood pressure because she didn’t want to get stroke. I’m so glad that she’s now on appropriate treatment to ensure her health long term. (*˘︶˘*).。.:*♡
I don’t think people understand the importance of general practitioners / family doctors (yes dad I’m looking at you). GPs are the heart of your health. ヽ(・∀・)ノ They ensure the general population are well cared for, and to reduce the hospital admission and serious events such as heart attack, stroke, and severe infection. They know many patients by heart, including home circumstances and any domestic issues. They ensure medical treatment continues in the community: else everyone would be admitted to hospital for treatment!! GP does home visit for people who could not get out of the house— but does not need a bed in the hospital.
Unfortunately my father still don’t understand this. I think he’s very disappointed that I have chosen this career for myself (╥﹏╥). Time and time again, he will say that I’m suited for plastic surgery (yes I’m good with my hands and I love surgery. My hands are super steady. My sutures are *chef kisses) (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄ <⁄ ⁄). He will say that he want me to have a career that could support me incase anything were to happen to Mojuju. He thinks that only specialist (hospital consultants) are successful doctors. And he never ever stop telling me that I reach the stars if I wanted to. 。゚・ (>﹏ <) ・゚。
I’m flattered dad, but I really love my job. I may be able to reach the stars, but I quite like to serve the community and the public. I also love that I get time with Mr. Monday and Lil’Tuesday in this specialty. I feel whole and happy, and I think for now, at least that’s all I want to feel. ヽ(・∀・)ノ
