girl, uninterrrupted

I haul myself from the pit of self-pity and despair to inform everyone that I'm feeling better, both physically and mentally.

My lurve brought me to her specialist, and although he didn't tell me anything new -- take steroids to control the pain, options include cancer and anti-malarial drugs, alternative therapies may or may not work, try at your own risk, don't mix your Western and Chinese medicine, this is a chronic illness -- the excruciating pain has made up my mind for me.

Even though there are nasty side effects from steroids and stuff, I'm going to abandon TCM -- more than a year of taking those smelly powdered brews which produced little/unreliable results -- and go for ang mohh meds.

Just started on the course of medicine and it knocked me out after lunch. Only just woke up after 10 hours of blissful uninterrupted sleep to realise it is now my real bed time.

And what do I do? Pour myself a giant bowl of cornflakes and dried cranberries -- Breakfast!

10 hours of sleep while on MC is indeed working miracles on my recovery process. Baikar, be gone!

Oh, I swear by Kellog's Special K, my favourite non-gimmicky healthy cereal [the unhealthy fave would be Post's very sinful Waffle Crisp].

Haven't found Special K with dried raspberries which I used to devour in London. But the dried cranberries which Mousey gave me are an excellent substitute. Yum!

BTW, I eat my cereal dry, ie. without milk. Yes, it gets stuck in the throat especially when it is too early in the morning. But I really dislike mushy food.

Ohh, you're making me hungry. hhahaha. I alternate btwn Post's Banana Nut Crunch, Post's Cranberry-something-or-other and Kellog's Coco Pops (childhood classic). Always with milk.

But I will look out for Kellog's Special K cos getting a bit tired of Post.

(I think one must be as exacting w breakfast cereal as instant noodle brands or Campbell Soup flavours.)
