My third visit to the chiropractor today.
My tip is, work with the chiropractor. Help as much as u can in providing a precise history. And I've been mulling over it... I think it was the
piriformis muscle giving me some deep, nagging pain. Felt much better after physiotherapist taught me the
piriformis stretch.
Chiro works on on my neck, lower back spinal
alignment and
piriformis. I had TENS for my neck/ shoulder. I
must've been so uptight past few months. Last week: both physio and
chiro had identified sacroiliac pain and we worked on it.
Hoping that I won't wake up in pain tomorrow. I asked, and he did say it may hurt during the first few visit.

Gotta blog this!
At the very last minute, DH wanted to make Arianna's passport today! Over his lunch time. So, okay..it wasn't very last minute darling...u left the tabs on IE on my PC. Read the requirements, called up Hanna just to be sure of certain stuff.
We needed:
-birth cert & copy
-daddy's IC & copy (no worries... we photocopied there, that wasn't mentioned in the website). That parent who signed, thumbprint taken, must aso be there to pick it up (so DH has to squeeze some time to pick it up tomorrow yeah?)
-2 passport sized photo (they have a booth: RM10 for 4 pics, cheap rite? But we already have her pics)
-RM150
It took us less than an hour!! Parking was RM1.50 for the first hour. That's what we paid! Amazing. How is that possible??

MommyLyna's entry)
Whoever has been following me on FB would know by now that I have back pain that's killing me. It's on and off past few months, but I couldn't take it when lumbosacral support provided temporary relief only.
Here I am, 2.5 weeks later, after :
- 2 orthopaedic appointments
- X ray lumbosacral : anteroposterior, lateral in extension and flexion
- MRI lumbosacral: T1W, T2W, TSE sequences
- 6 physiotherapy sessions
- 2 chiropractor visits
Conservative is the way to go, I mean not everything in life need surgery
(right, Orthopods?).
Chiro works on bones/joints (
thanks Adrianna, for sharing a place closer to home),
physio works on my muscle... now there's another conservative method...
rolfing (thanks Uncle Khairol... never knew it before).
I've been neglecting my body, I'm fatter, flabbier despite my improved stamina, bone density post breastfeeding. I forgot my stretching for deep muscles of my back (honestly multifidus was known to me for MRI reporting, never realised it's importance in flexion of the trunk).
Ok, I'm babbling. No pictures... I like real pics rather than googled pic. So click on the links, coz those links are what I've bookmarked for myself. Will share more as I progress towards a more flexible momma.

Breakfast: bread@banana (C), milk@yogurt drink (D), egg@cheese (P)
Lunch: She wanted egg&watermelon, leaving her carb (C) and other protein(P)
Nuggets- never tried it before, was bought in case Haariz, Idrees datang.
Teatime: bread (C) and sausage (P)
Dinner/supper: soupy pasta (C)
I'm always thinking in terms of (C) carbohydrate, (P) protein, (D) dairy. Not too worried about fat, because we do use olive oil, minimal butter in food preparation. She'd get her fibres, vitamins from her veggie and fruits.
Eggs and cheese are protein too (plus soy, beans, nuts, tofu etc)... I just can't think of conventional protein *I know, I know*.

I got this email, saja je la tekan login coz I definitely won't use any links via email, most importantly I don't have an HSBC account. It directed to a bogus website.. not a https one.* in purple: highlighted spelling, grammatical errors. Real banks better not have these mistakes, they'd lose credibility!

A great place to learn about animals. But it hasn't changed much since I was a child? Some cages were empty, KFC is no longer there, but the trains are adequate.
She loves the video I made... original recording of animals (although a bit Blair Witchy). Not many pics though. An extra RM15 for the camcorder is worth it.
Next stop: Singapore Zoo.

Fruits, veggie, olive oil, moderate dairy products/ fish, minimal red meat... that's her diet. I'm cracking my head for her protein, but cheese, egg, yoggurt, milk are okay with her. it's just the conventional chicken and meat that eludes her mouth.

In Nuclear Medicine past 2 weeks, so much to do and learn, so little time! Sucky broadband connection doesn't help either.
Surviving without my dose of early morning coffee since Tuesday. Of course I had 2 days worth of withdrawal headache, but hoping this will last this time around. It's such a diuretic that I get pretty dehydrated when I'm fasting.
I'm gonna be a SAHM for the next couple of days. Let's see what my daughter is up to then.
She's currently:
- having teething fussiness
- in tomato ketchup frenzy (Heinz only)
- eats nasi impit and kuih raya during open houses
- bathes, eats, dresses herself, chooses her own dvd, goes up and down the stairs, opens doors (not the knob type) on her own
- working on peeing on the potty (till I recognise her signs, it's just the poo bit for now)
- enjoying company, DH's colleagues has kids her age
- still likes my anatomy text/diagram
- likes books better

Gotta document this.
Friday menu:-
Breakfast:
Lunch:
Dinner:
- olive (picked off from my Subway)
- orange
- lettuce
- coleslaw dressing (ran out of other dressing)
- boiled egg
- warm milk or soya at bedtime
I should just make salad for her dinner *LOL. She loved the salad in Tony Roma, Italiannies. I should start making substantial salad. And she loves simple stir fried taugeh/ cabbage/ carrot/ kucai (we omitted the pepper). We shared a plate at Teppanyaki ... previously she ate half of the rice and vege, one time she just ate the vege. This time.. she finished 90% of the salmon, and vege too.

1. How to wash cloth pad?
Rinse off stains with cold water. If you want, soak in a cold water with a bit of salt.
Chuck it in with the rest of your laundry (but DON'T use softener). I usually wash it with Arianna's cloth diaper (non-enzyme detergent, no softener)
2. How many hours can I wear it?
They say 4 hours for medium pad. For me: 8-12 hours using night/overnight pad.
3. Does it smells?
Nope. It doesn't emit the blood+disposable pads stench.
4. Does it leak?
Just like disposable pads, do not overload it. Change according to your flow.
lastly (because I do not like to impose on others my personal choices in life)
5. Why cloth pads?
You can google why disposable pads worse off. Personally, I hate the stinky waste, rashes, heavy flow associated with it. And cloth feels more comfortable on your skin.
