Skin problem

Image
One of the more glaring side effects from all the treatments I've had is skin breakouts on my face!  Arrrghhhh! I mean, I've never been super vain, but the breakouts was so bad.   Finally I went to see Dr Ting of Ting Laser & Skin Clinic in Jalan Imbi. I read and heard many good reviews on him.  Only thing is, the clinic doesn't do appointments.  It's only walk-ins.   The clinic opens at 8.30am.  I reached there at 8am, and OMG, the queue was already almost 800m long.  So, I got into the queue, once it opened I registered and was told to go for breakfast and back after 10am.  No choice, I need to see the doctor, so no quitting despite my inner protests.   Went to the mamak stall nearby, ate well, full and happy, walked back at 10plus and waited for another 40 mins and I finally met the legendary Dr Ting.   He was very thorough, even with countless patients seeing him.  I was impressed.  I told him my previous and ongoing cancer treatments, and he asked many question

Getting better after ICU episode

Back at home. But all I could do is lie down, sleep, eat and drink. Not much different from being in the hospital. Thankfully appetite is not too bad, although I can't eat anything too spicy yet. One glaring thing though is my mushy legs. I can't really walk fast, more like a sloth. After about a week home, I managed to go down for morning walk. I have a cool looking cane with me for support.  So that's what I do every morning for at least 30 mins. I walk around my apartment blocks. Round and round, me and my cane. Slowly like a sloth. Frustrating coz I could really feel how weak my legs are. But hopeful as always this will strengthen them. And I get to breathe the fresh morning air.  Azwat usually will walk with me and we'll chat, or argue, or he will do his song and dance haha! Good times. After about a month, I stopped using the cane woohoo! Syukur alhamdulillah.   And I never stop the morning walk.  I even manage to do 5km occasionally. Road to marathon (one day?) h
