Never do this at home

This happened couple of weeks ago.  Remember I posted about a recurring milk blister on my right (.)(.)?  I have finally got rid of it on my own.  But I don't recommend it.

This is one of the breastfeeding horrors.  So, as usual, I tried to pick it using finger nails while in the shower.  After a few times, that stubborn blister still there.  So, I did it one more time, this time with force and I felt skin came out.  Delighted, I looked at my nips and found that it is bleeding.  OK, I thought to myself, perhaps now it is out.

I compressed my right boob to see if the duct is cleared.  Instead of milk squirting out, it was blood.  I thought to myself again, ok, so this is how pink milk came about.

I finished shower and dried myself.  My nips continue to bleed.  I thought to myself, oh, this is unusual.  Usually, it's just a single drop of blood.  Not this much.  I used a tissue to press on it to stop the bleeding.

I wore my pyjamas and my right boob stained it with blood.  Hmm, what's going on?  I continuously pressed on the nip to stop bleeding.

After some time, I tried to compress the breast and see if milk is coming out and again only saw blood.  Yikes!  Now it scares me.  The tissue is filled with blood and not 1 drop, perhaps a lot of blood.  And the bleeding doesn't seem to stop.  Something is not right.

It took half an hour of pressing the tissue on my nip to stop the bleeding.  Can't see the blister because it's all reddish now.  No more pain though.  Maybe it's gone.

Few weeks later, found that instead of picking the tiny skin that cover the blister, I picked the skin of my nip instead.  And since I yanked it out with force, it took some flesh with it and thus the bleeding.  Sorry to say, that wound now is a bigger hole.  Seems like the flesh doesn't grow back.

The hole kinda join to the milk duct that kept on having the blister.  So now, the duct is bigger.  And good news is no more blisters.  Bad news is no more flesh as well.

So, don't try this at home.  Not recommended.

Review: Grand Lexis vs Lexis Hibiscus at Port Dickson

I have been to both and can honestly tell you that I much preferred Lexis Hibiscus to Grand Lexis.  And here's why. Lexis Hibiscus Pros: 1. Very near to the highway. 2. Located near the beach (although very small area). 3. Food stalls located within walking distance to the hotel. 4. Better services from the staff. 5. Bigger pathway for walkers and cyclist (for those who like to do some walking and cycling). 6. Better view of the sea. 7. Swimming pool is located outside the chalet with sea view (depends where the chalet is facing). 8. Sauna is provided in the chalet. 9. Wide spread of breakfast buffet. Cons: 1. A bit more pricey. 2. Public pool is boring. 3. No kitchenette. 4. If it rains, the sound on the roof is very loud because of the material of the roof (sounds like zinc roof). 5. Toilet door is without lock.   Grand Lexis Pros: 1. Nice public pool with slides for the kids. 2. Big swimming pool inside each room. 3. Wide spread

The Big Kindy Search Continues

Since my last The Big Kindy Search post , I have been looking around for kindies and been visiting some.  Here's my feel about them all. 1) Tadika Diyana Read good reviews about this and decided to check them out, though out of our way and far from home.  I love how the price is quite ok but still a bit on the high side (you can check it out at their website). I visited the premise and I really love how it is run like a mini primary school.  It's huge, with its own hall, field and canteen, although downsize version and it's just like a school.  Not like a bungalow with rooms as classroom.   However, I have decided not to send my girl because they will be moving to Sungai Penchala (further up from TTDI, near to the Penchala Link), which will be much further from our home.  Though they do have transporters, but I feel very wary about sending my 4 year old (next year) to a transporter. What I like about Tadika Diyana is they have 2 medium, English and Chines

PPUM Pediatrics Emergency Department

Being a mom proves to be the hardest job in the world.  Accidents do happen but when they actually happened, most people will panic and unsure what to do.  And when it involves kids, and being the mother of the only child, with no prior emergency experience, this is a traumatizing and frightening episode and a lesson for me to learn. My 3.5 years old girl was being very curious and naughty that fateful day.  She stood on the chair and play with my massage oil and containers and broke one of the small glass cups and when she panicked she came down from the chair and stepped on the broken glass. She was bleeding a lot and crying.  Since this happened at about 10.30pm, my first response was to drive her to a 24-hour clinic.  So, we went to the 24-hour Mediviron clinic but was turned away by the nurses, stating that her case is very serious and need to be referred to a hospital instead. My mind at that time was running at full speed.  I wasn't sure which hospital to go as
