There are many reasons why I was deprived of blogging for almost 2months.
Hospitalised
Yup, I was hospitalised. I went to the GP on 27th May as I was feeling very breathless doing something very simple. I took a long 15minute to catch up my breath. I was told to get my chest xray done ASAP, and so I did. GP called me on Friday evening to see him the next morning, and so I did.
"Xray and report is NOT good, this is a letter for the hospital, please bring yourself in through A&E now" was what the GP had to tell me the moment I sat down in his clinic.
I waited for my husband though. I even had time to complete my sisters' bags.

Back to being in the hospital. So my husband drove me down to A&E, and I registered myself. I handed over my Xray and the letter from my GP. They took my vital readings and almost immediately had a wheelchair ready to wheel me away.
The fastest service I ever received! Obviously, it doesn't sound too good to be given such quick attention when you are in the hospital as it meant something serious.
I was then whisk away into an isolation room, just me, 4 bare walls, the clock and the bed.. The ticking of the time soon lullaby me to sleep.. I awoke to the same room with nothing new. I probably waited like 4 hours before a doctor came in to poke me, took my blood and put me on IV. About an hour or two later, I was told to get an xray done.
And some 3-4 hours later, I was finally given a proper bed in an isolation ward, as they still havent figured out what is wrong with me, all the while mentioning about the xray that reveals something was wrong with my lungs, highly suspecting a lung infection or pneumonia.

And I stayed in the hospital for 8Days 7Nights. To be honest, I enjoyed my stay day albeit the frequent "I am sorry, need to check your temperature and blood pressure" and the "how are you feeling today, any giddiness, extreme breathlessness?" and "this is your medicine, don't forget to take after food, your food will be in very soon" sort of questions.
I get to totally rest, I mean when else do I get to just sleep, shower, eat, and sleep all day, right? I was constantly thinking of all my sewing projects whilst I was there. But I totally spend at least 10hrs sleeping everyday due to the drowsy meds and the fact that there is really nothing else to do.
And so on my 7th day, they finally decide to just diagnose me with some hard to pronounce and spell diagnosis. The only thing I caught was that both my lungs has some permanent damage. I was smiling when the doctor told me this, and she repeated herself and asked if I heard her.
Oh well, what else can I do but smile, right?
I was then given a long 14days to rest, before I swing by to see her again for a follow up. I will probably have to do that for a long long time...
Sewing Projects
Yup, I kept myself busy with sewing projects. I started my own test labels, and did up lots of alpha and beta versions of my creations and let my family and close friends test drive them all. And as usual, I launched my bags. I wasn't too sure of my apparels just as yet, as I wasnt drafting at all, I was merely outlining an existing one and just do what I think is right sort of thing.
As shameless as can be, I will share all my work here just for the sake of sharing. :p
Enjoy!!
