Appendicitis

how lucky. first day of the break and I reported to ER to kick off the holiday break.

I wasn't really aware that it could be appendix that was causing the problem. I just started to feel bloated, inflated and kind of painful in my abdomenal area.
Thought i could sleep it away, but it just lingered.

Went to the ER at Kaiser, Redwood City. The ER nurse kickded me to the Clinic. The doctor there, (can't remember her name now)(her name is Malika Kheraj) figured out that it's appendicitis and sent me back to ER.

Had an surgery immediately. stayed in the hospital unti the next morning (12/26). got home that afternoon. Gees, I still can't walk much.

25 degrees fahrenheit

Gees, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that on the thermometer. It was horrifying. My car was covered with ice. A white sheet of ice. I missed my train because I need to defrost the car. It was so dangerous to drive.

Rainy Monday

Strange luck. Must be a sign. It rained hard when I got out of Caltrain and then again Light Rail. We will see if the same happens this evening.
otherwise, it is a cold day today.

DOB - Christi Marquina

Just to document the date of the puppy that I purchased on 2/16/09 (president's day) from Santa Cruz. La baby died on 1/12 and I felt the need to get a replacement pet for the Marquina Family.

Can't shake the cold

I came back from Taiwan last Sunday. It's been a week now and I am still having this damn cold. The good thing is that it is slowly fading away. The bad thing is that I can't seem to relax myself. I always have to do something. I don't even want to take a day off or anything. It is because that I have spent all my 5 days of vacation time with Talent Merchants and have no time left. So, I have to be frugal.

since I skipped Thanksgiving, I just haven't felt the holiday feel yet. It is not raining, either. So, I keep forgetting to put on a sweater. So, that slows down the recovery. I also noticed that I was trying to get used to my own crappy bed, too. On top of that, the jet lag is bothering me as well. Luan once commented that "Jason, don't get old". I thought that was quite interesting. She did not know that I am very old already. :)
