BY THE WAy I didn't lose any hair!! I'm still prettty !!YAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY! hehehehehhe!!! brain surgeons by light, hair stylists by dark. They did my surgery after tying my hair up in cute pigtails. Yes it was cute!! My mom said so!!!
So I dont think you need to lose all your hair. atleast not right away.
DEFINITELY talk to your surgeon about that.
Plus like my anasthesiologist promised, I did not wake up or feel a thing. All i remember is waking up outside the operation theatre to be told that I was CURED! YYaaaaaay !!! All indians, there is NO red bulb outside the theatre that goes on and off when a patient is wheeled in and out!!! I checked!!
Ok now thats the easy bit.
i knew i'd have to spend the night after in the ICU!BUT I had been warmed!!
How bad could it be??
I mean to scare no one but, OH MY GOD!!! WHAT THE HELLL!!! The worst night of my life, definitely the worst, no competition !! No drugs( you're too drugged up for them to give you anymore of the good stuff, NO entertainment and really really bad company.
You can google this condition, its called ICU PSYCHOSIS! Everyone need not experience this. This is just a heads up!
Anyway i got through 12 hours of craziness by torturing the nurses and begging to be allowed to leave!:)
Dont be worried. Apparently its normal. That made me feel tonnes better.
(Oh i had a craniotomy, by the way)
OSHO for the day - The human body can take a lot. Do not be worried.You're going to
get through this. You have to, to get better.If you have a prayer,
a chant, even a favorite song, maybe the name of someone you
love, then keep saying it over and over again to take your mind
off everything thats scaring you!
For now go and check if you need new shoes!! :)

Surgery - Die mooshy mooshys Die!
Heylo
I watched the movie 'Awake' a few months before, in which the main character wakes up while being operated on. Yuckkkkkkkk! how the hell am i gonna get through my surgery now???
So when i met my anaesthesiologist, i asked him if I would wake up. I also asked him if i would feel anything. He reassured me there was no way I would. Cos I was being monitored every second. If i did wake up, they would knock me out again.how dare i doubt the anaesthesiologist
But seriously just leave everything to your super surgeon and enjoy this weird experience.
All i remember is being asked if I wanted to sleep. The next minute I'm done.Tata mooshy mooshys!!Don't ever come back. Yaaaaaaayyyy!
Anyway, for pre-op,save all your energy for the most fun time post-op. All the love making will have to wait. Damn it!
All the best ! Die Die Mooshy Mooshys!!!

Why the Jihadis are enjoying their kebabs while I'm in a hospital
I blame the late- mooshy mooshys for this thought or maybe it was me feeling extrra sorry for myself. I think its ok, until you make it a habit. Try other fun activities the moment you wonder why you are sick and all those murderers, rapists are not. Fun activities would include activities with your luva, listening to good music, lotsaaaa lotsaaa hugging, stuffing your face.....
My mom says im making fun of all of it now. I'm in my 2nd week of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and you need way more energy and spirit now than before.
So save all that energy wishing you were someone else for now.
Fun activity for the day -- have a scoop( maybe 2) of strawberry cheescake icecream( you cant have any once u reach where i am....awww its ok)

How I did not flood the hospital with my tears
Heyyy!
I had my seizure on the 6th of sept. I was at CMC by 22nd. The delay wont hurt you, whats important is getting the best treatment available.
i had finally found out what was growing in my head. Not really, but i knew i was chalked in for surgery(Craniotomy) in a week. My super doc had also explained to me every detail( as much as he could to an engineer) Suprisingly i wasnt scared.And you wont be either. Why not, cos they give you some really great drugs to make you sleep. :)
Anyway, steps to follow after finding out that your head is going to be cut open,
Hug whoevers around.
Call your frinds and bitch all you want. Dont forget to breath.
Walk around the hospital, you get a lot of strength from other patients.
And lastly name your tumour. I named mine mooshy mooshy. Why?? Because honestly what harm can a mooshy mooshy do u. Plus after a while, everytime someone says tumour, ul hear mooshy mooshy. And ul smile.
Fun activity for the daay - Go dancing with your friends. :)

I didnt jump off Maktoum Bridge!
I didnt have the time to even contemplate jumping off any bridges.I did have plenty of time to cry though and think myself insane. And to google every thing in my hospital report. I say dont do that.Make a friend do it, Or do it when your friend is around to slap you when you start bawling!
No ones asking you to be wonderwoman, so take days off from work and give yourself time to get used to this information.Try to squeeze in a pedicure and a facial. And to google every thing in my hospital report. I say dont do that.Make a friend do it, Or do it when your friend is around to slap you when you start bawling!
As my experience at the hospital in Dubai was not to my expectations. I got no chocolates or icecream. Plus we had no Greys Anatomy on TV. Exactly in that order. Plus my doctor who wanted to live for only 10 mre yrs, told me to go to India.
I am now being treated at what i feel is maybe the best hospital in India. It helped my case a lot to also have the most super amazing doctor. I went to other hospitals before i ended up here. So the point I want to make here is take as many opinions as you can, talk to as many patients at these hospitals you go to, before you make up your mind. Its very important to feel comfortable about the person who is gonna hold a scalpel to your brain.
Fun Activity for the day ( Do it even if you wanna sleep) -- Spend the day with Hugh Jackman. Watch Wolverine Origins. Please let me know if Jackamns torso doesnt make you forget :)
Keep smiling, You are gonna be alright :)

How I found out!
As is the only purpose of every member of the fairer sex, mine too was to become a size 0. Now it is to invent strawberry cheescake that doesnt need sugar.
Anyway, i had just got home from jogging for 2 kms. I got home and eyed my ab crunch machine and decided he needed my attention. So i did about 200 crunches. I think i pumped too much blood to my brain. I knew i was gonna pass out that day.I did. My friend told me it wasnt a pretty sight. That was my first seizure.
But that feeling i had right before i had felt twice before that month. So the point Im trying to make here is be super sensitive to changes in your body, not just the extra pound you imagine you have gained.
So my sister and mom( mwaaaahh mwaaah mwaah) rushed me to the hospital where i was told on arrival by my lovely doctor on arrival that it was enough to live only till 60. Ummm wateva! Anyway thanks to him i did 2 MRIs and thus found out that there were some abnormalities.
My family and friends couldve told them that without an MRI ! :)
Please Please do an MRI when you have a fainting spell or a seizure, even though going to the pub for a pint of beer might seem like a better idea (i say this because thats what i wanted to do)
P.S --- Dont starve yourself and expect your body to be happy about it. Size 0 is not important if you are a size 0 in the pent house. kapiche!

A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME
I turned 28 on a surgical table. No it wasnt some morbid theme party. I had just recently found out that something scary was growing in my pretty head. I had a tumour in my brain. What the hell was it feeding on? Teeeheee :) Anyway I had to get it removed asap.
So there i was on my birthday all prepped up for brain surgery.
Why am i blogging this. Im hoping that others my age who fall ill dont think its the end of the world. I thought it was but it really isnt. Yes you are gonna cry and pray to all the gods for a few days but you will eventually find out that, just like every thing else in your life, you are gonna get used to this as well. By getting used to it, I mean you are gonna find a way to deal with it and to not think about it every waking second.
I'm going to end my first post by telling you ( at the cost of sounding corny and cliched ;) ) that you are gonna get better and forget u were ever sick!!
The world is still beautiful! :)
