Health is not valued till the sickness comes

Today is a good day. I was in major OT as an assistant. We had a case of very big ovarian mass for unilateral salphingo-oophrectomy, a posterior wall fibroid  for myomectomy and also a staging examiantion under anaesthesia + cystoscopy for a cervical cancer patient. Yesterday, one case of postpartum bilateral tubal ligation was added in.

It was a tough day as I was down with cough and flu. Thank God, the surgeon managed to settle all the cases fast. The patient for bilateral tubal ligation refused for operation just before the anesthetist doctor put her into anaesthesia. Patient changed her mind last minute. Having 11 children, but she is still not keen for BTL. It is patient autonomy.

After work, I managed to go for jogging at Permai Lake, followed by a dinner with my friends. Ended up eating more than exercising, as usual.

Simple daily routine. Been non-stop sneezing since I am back home and my throbbing headache is getting worst. Better get an early sleep, oncall tomorrow :)

Hopefully, tomorrow my condition will improve. Need a good heatlh to enjoy another good day. There is a saying, "Health is not valued till the sickness comes". Padam muka for not taking good care of myself.
