Nursing Scrubs - for me?!

Monday, April 11, 2011

I always fancy wearing a white suite or scrub or a lab coat and go to work. Yeah, I like nurses' uniform. I used to visualize myself wearing those when I was a little younger - but I definitely won't trade my present profession and work to be a nurse now. I realized I can't live a day hearing siren, seeing wounds, bloods or worst death. So yeah, I admire them for having the courage to see and experience life and death situations - but I definitely think it's not for me.

Anyway, I just want to share that I somehow managed to wear nursing scrubs and was able to capture the moment with pictures. Click. click. click. hehehe...

Well, I have a cousin who is a nurse for a year now and when she told me she'll come visit me, I asked her to bring her uniform. When I saw how cute the scrub clothing was, I begged her if maybe I could try and fit and she took some photos of me. I just didn't happen to wear her scrubs pant because I know that would be too much to ask. (^.*)

BTW, I am not sharing the pictures here.. hehehe..

Do I have a Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Thursday, March 10, 2011

Okay, I've been trying to ignore the numb feeling I have in my thumb. Been trying to deny that this could be a carpal tunnel syndrome until today when I had the chance to read an article about it.

I've read that the symptoms usually start with frequent burning, tingling, or itchi ng numbness in the palm of the hand and the fingers, especially the thumb and the index and middle fingers. You m a y f eel that your fingers feel useless and swollen, even though little or no swelling is apparent - felt this in my thumb (T_T). The symptoms often first appear in one or both hands during the night, since many people sleep with flexed wri sts. A person with carpal tunnel syndrome may wake up feeling the need to "shake out" the hand or wrist. As sym pto ms worsen, people might feel tingling during the day. Decreased grip strength may make it difficult to form a fist, grasp small objects, or perform other manual tasks. In chronic and/or untreated cases, the muscles at the base of the thumb may waste away. Some people are unable to tell between hot and cold by touch.

What causes the problem? Some people have smaller carpal tunnels than other people do. Other causes include performing assembly line work, wrist injury, or swelling due to certain diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis. Women are three times more likely to have carpal tunnel syndrome than men. Treatment includes resting your hand, splints, pain and anti-inflammatory medicines, and surgery.

Some effective exercise for carpal tunnel syndrome:

Extend and stretch both wrists and fingers acutely as if they are in a hand-stand position. Hold for a count of 5.
Straighten both wrists and relax fingers.
Make a tight fist with both hands.
Then bend both wrists down while keeping the fist. Hold for a count of 5.
Straighten both wrists and relax fingers, for a count of 5.
The exercise should be repeated 10 times. Then let your arms hang loosely at the side and shake them for a few seconds.

I hope mine is not really a carpal tunnel syndrome but I know it is very possible with the type of work I have now. I'll be doing the exercises above to prevent or to keep the tingling sensation from worsening.

Back to blogging?

Friday, October 8, 2010

Okay, I really can't promise to be totally back and update this blog with a new post everyday. But well, I will try my best to blog everyday. I realized I don't really need a very good and interesting topic to post. After all, this is my blog and I have the right to post anything hehehe.


So today, I would like to share some inspiring quotes that dragged me back to blogging.

• And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt. ~Sylvia Plath
• Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart. ~William Wordsworth
• Write to be understood, speak to be heard, read to grow... ~ Lawrence Clark
• I write to discover what I think. ~Joan Didion

Hope to update this blog tomorrow.

Harry Potter Book 8?

Wednesday, September 29, 2010

Wow! I am really, really, really looking forward for another Harry Potter book. I will definitely be one of the people lining up in the bookstore to grab a copy.

WOW!!!!

NEW YORK - Best-selling author J.K. Rowling will appear in a rare interview on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" to talk about her life and career and the possibility of another Harry Potter book.

The 45-year-old British writer, who was rated by Forbes magazine earlier this year with an estimated wealth of $1 billion, talked to Winfrey for the first time from Edinburgh, Scotland in an interview to be broadcast Friday, her U.S. publisher Scholastic Inc. said Monday.

Rowling spoke about coping with fame, pressure and she "shares her thoughts on the possibility of ever writing another Harry Potter book in the future," Scholastic said in a statement.

She told Winfrey she realized her books about the boy wizard were popular and her life had changed forever when she saw an enormous line of fans outside a large store during her second U.S. book tour. She said the moment "felt Beatle-esque."

The author, who has not granted many media interviews, also told Winfrey that the cool composure she had displayed at the height of the Harry Potter mania was not quite what it seemed.

"You ask about the pressure. At that point, I kept saying to people, yeah I'm coping ... but the truth was there were times when I was barely hanging on by a thread," she said according to an early excerpt of the interview.

The books, which have sold more than 400 million copies worldwide, were transformed into top-grossing films.

The last Harry Potter book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," was released in mid-2007 in more than 90 countries and sold 11 million copies in its first 24 hours in Britain and the United States alone.

A two-part film adaptation of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" has been filmed, with part one slated for release in November.
