BB's ACL Reconstructions , 22-10-08 (2)

What has he done before he was discharged? :P

This was his second day & yet he looked so fresh & energetic right?

BB was asked to put on this anti-embolism stocking because of the lack of movement on his operated leg. It helps to increase venous blood flow velocity & reduce the possibility of deep vein thrombosis.

His physiotherapist at Gleneagles Intan. He was also injured his ACL before.

His wounds.

Knee stretching machine. Surprisingly, he was able to bend his knee till about 80 degree. However, it was not actually true because the anesthesia & anti-inflammatory agents are still inside his body.

This pic was taken while the Staff Nurse Loh was changing his dressings. He has total of 7 holes on his left leg.

BB's ACL Reconstructions , 22-10-08 (1)

We checked in to Gleneagles Intan Medical Centre's Day Care at about 7a.m. Though my colleagues mentioned this medical centre to me before, we were still impressed by this 5-star setup. We can even find Dome Cafe there. Phew....... Since this surgery is paid by BB's company, who cares right?

The nurse was checking his blood pressure. Normal. Weren't you scared?

A tag to cuff him up. Hehe...

The surgery took about 3.5 hours. I walked in & out from the Day Care because the bed wasn't ready yet. He was pushed out finally. But due to the anesthesia effect, BB was still feeling groggy.

He was on knee immbolizer as well as the Aircast Cryo Cuff. This Cryo Cuff helps to reduce the sweeling & pain for post-op. The cuff will cover the injured area while the cooler holds enough water and ice for 8 hrs of cyrotherapy. Besides, the tube will exchange the water between cooler & cuff.

Hospital food. It always look so tasteless for me. But BB finished them all. He was too hungry.

The Arrival of The Groom & Buddies

While my "Chi Mui" were busy preparing the fun stuffs for my BB & his buddies, we heard the car honk. Oh my God......... they have reached my house.

My brother opened the door to welcome his brother-in-law.

Can't wait to get me ya?? Hehe....

The buddies were served with some yummy crackers.

Wow....... what have they packed for us?

What a disgusting stuffs? Are we going to eat that?

Haha... the undies was too small for him.

Mission failed. :(

Since this was the failure from my wife's friends, let me enjoyed the fruits then.

"Nescafe Kao" with banana for you & your buddies.

The bride's room key were in this pail of ice water.

Kenny Goh has volunteered to search for it.

While searching, Gladys has fed Kenny with some icy cold ice-cream.

Kenny has failed as his leg was too big for this pail. So Dennis was the second one to go.

Aiya.... why can't this key open the door one??

It was BB's turn to do it. Woo......... Let him drink the coke first before the mission starts.

He was serious!

Oh... they were cheated by my "Chi Mui". Actually none of the keys inside the pail were for this room.

He was asked to say 3 things that he loves about me. If I remembered correctly, he mentioned

1. Her enlarged eyes after wearing the mystic black contact lenses.
2. We can communicate to each other well.
3. ??
   

Final "Ang Pao". Please open the door for the groom............

Huh? I still can't my wife yet??

Little Wife, wait for me ya. I will sure find ur left heel.

Haha........ I found it.

Let me wear it for you.

A bouquet of flower for you!

Phew........ so loving!

Lets exchange the ring!

Yeah..... we're officially husband & wife accroding to the chinese ceremony!

A Date With My Makeup Artist

I had a wonderful sleep before the actual day. Hehe...... thanks to SIL for asking me to take a tablet of sleeping pill.

After picking up our photographer from the hotel, my brother sent me to the bridal shop. Within 1.5 hours, Ms Han & Ai Wei successfully turned me into a beautiful bride.

Our 1st Month Anniversary

While I was doing my work this morning, I received a message alert. I didn't bother to read it first as I guess must be from Hubby B (We usually send each other a good morning sms every weekeday). Then the second message came in few minutes later.

Hmmm.... who is messaging me?

So I opened it & 2 sms was received from BB. The 1st one was a usual morning sms but the second one really surprised me. I did not expect him to give me this sms. It is our 1-month anniversary. Times fly and we are already entered our 1 month of marriage.

I love a quote from Gary Chapman in his book titled The Five Love Languages.

"Most of us grow up learning the language of our parents & siblings, which become our primary or native tongue. Later, we may learn additional languages but usually with much more effort. These become our second languages. We speak & understand best our native language. We feel most comfortable speaking that language. The more we use a secondary language, the more comfortable we become conversing in it. ........................ Being sincere is not enough. We must be willing to learn our spouse's primary language if we are to be effective communicators of love."

Living Together

We are glad that we just clarified all our problems together. Recently, I have lots of question marks with regards to BB. I seem to confuse with this relationship after our wedding. I have been thinking and giving all sort of reasons to my questions. I can't take it anymore & I think we need to have a heart to heart talk. I initiated it after the brunch.

Sometimes it is not easy to talk to BB. He is always with his reasons. However, we managed to talk it through & concluded with the things that we need to improve on. My question marks are cleared from my mind now. I know that throughout the path, there will be more question marks but I believe that we can manage them together.
