Why didn't I blog for so long ?

Where am I ?
Don't worry . I am all fine and safe . It has been a bz time for me .

For starters , I apologize for not blogging and telling stories to my beloved blog .
Initially I had wonderful and close friends over here holidaying in Canberra . Eileen , Ash , Li Let , Shalini .

Nice and friendly people . I do hope your visit to Canberra was memorable :) If not , just let me know and I will be glad to improve .

And immediately after my pals left , I had a problem again with my belly button . Had one issue with it in April . This time the Antibiotics did not make the suspected bacteria go off .

Unexpectedly , I had a minor growth of flesh growing out from the top of my belly button hole . It juts out and looks weird .

During that period of a week , the pain was so unbearable . It was like a knife piercing through my belly button . And whenever I take bath , it hurt so badly I felt like screaming . I had to take painkillers for the first few days and took more when I had an assignment to be completed .

I went to the hospital and was recommended for a scan . Did a scan privately (ultrasound) . The results ? I am having a special medical condition .

Oh yeah ! I had an antibiotic injection at my right arse and a tetanus jab in my left arm ! Guess what ? The antibiotic was meant to hurt and so was the tetanus . The contents of them hurt my arse so badly that I can barely walk out of the hospital that day . Couldn't sit as well . It was like a bullet in my arse .

Sigh . Pain pain .

The doctor say it is pus that was causing all the pain and that growth thingy . But there was more . The radiologist had to call in a specialist to verify a suspected urachus tube .

A urachus tube normally turns into a ligament after birth . It was just to transfer urine from the baby in the womb .

But the Dr saw traces and they suspect I am still having that TUBE !! After TWO DECADES !!And my urachus tube is still there !!

The doctor said the urachus tube connects the bladder and the belly button . And they suspect that there is an infection at the end of the tube at my belly button .

Amazing . My Physician in Malaysia said there might even be urine in it . Haha . A urine that is as old as me ? It is just fantastic . Yep yep . My mom is keeping in touch with me and my Malaysian doctors . Haha . Moms are always worried .

Yeah . The sad news is I might have to verify whether it is true or not after I settle that growth like thingy in my belly button . I will need another ultrasound scan .

And if it is true , sigh , I will have to go for surgery to remove that tube . Compulsory to be removed . Sigh .

Never mind . Thankfully my family has a trusted surgeon . Haha . My whole extended family goes to this surgeon . Good fella .

Haih .

Well . That is all . Basically I have been kept busy by these stuff :)

Will blog more all right ?

Tata .
