Shaky Ground

San Francisco is due for a major earthquake. My friend told me that it was on Yahoo! News. Click here for the video.

6.8 Mag quake could cost Bay area more than USD 1.5 trillion... several million people could be affected!

Major earthquakes hit Hayward fault every 140 years on average!

Thanks Abdalla :-)

Swollen Finger

While I was trying to sleep (Thursday in the evening) I felt pain/discomfort in my right index finger! I got worried so I switched on the light and looked at my finger... IT WAS SWOLLEN! I was not able to move/bend it easily without going ouch ouch ouch!!!

What happened! I dont remember what led to that! I did not work out, did I hit something? A splinter maybe? hmmm I dont remember :-(

Anyways... I decided to ignore it and slept to wake up in the morning to find some redness in the area.. and I was still in pain.

I went to the ER, the doctor told me that I need to see a specialist because he couldnt really tell what was wrong. He gave me an antibiotic and a pain killer. He noticed the redness and also pointed out that the swollen finger was warmer than my other fingers.

Earlier today... I went to the specialist. He examined it, and sent me for X-Rays and blood tests. My blood pressure was 85/60 (which is kinda normal in my case) but I was so dizzy... when they were drawing blood I almost felt like fainting.. but I didnt *phew!* but the blood was going into the tube so darn slow... I wanted to throw up!! eeeeek!

Tomorrow I go in again for the results and then again in a couple of weeks for the results that they sent abroad! I am sure its nothing, but I dont know why I am stressing over it!

So to feel better about my swollen poor finger I colored my nails LOL!


UPDATE:
*******
My blood test result came out! I dont have rheumatoid! :-D Thats what the doctor was afraid of.. I got another medication though and hmmm I have an appointment in two weeks for the blood test that was sent abroad. YAAAAAY

Twisted!

I twisted my ankle Friday morning! I was in cranky mood... wearing my "abaya" and heading to a funeral... I tripped on the stairs and twisted my right ankle!

Like I needed the extra stress now!

I then continued my day with no problem! At some point in the evening, I felt a tingling pain! It hurts the most when I walk or step on my right foot..

Saturday, I went to a staff event. My dad told me to wear flat shoes... I was a good girl and I listened! It was ok, but still my foot hurt! I have been taking Ibuprofen two nights in a row! It helped.. but now at work I twisted my ankle AGAIN! OUCH!

Its not swollen but it hurts! I dont want to go check! I am fine! But I guess I needed to vent here on the blog! So thank you for listening... or in our case; READING!

Rest in Peace Dr. Ahmed Al-Rubei

Last night, Kuwait lost one of its prominent men! A politician, an educator, an academic, a mentor, an amazing writer, and a dear friend to many people. A man loved by a large number of people! He died but did not leave us! He will always be remembered by many of us!

This just came into mind

Back in 2007.... Me and two of my co-workers were waiting for the elevator to go home, when we entered... it was PACKED! Full of employees from different companies...

So remember my Laughing in the Elevator post?

Well... I started to giggle hehehehe..

Co-Worker-I telling Co-Worker-II: Hey! Stop Touching Me
(keeping in mind that he was not touching him, but they were just being silly and all LOL)


**** MOMENT OF SILENCE ****

Me: after trying hard not to laugh... and we are so close to reach ground floor.... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... GROUND FLOOR.... Door Opens.. HAHAHAHAHA!

Screw the Rules!

Last night was one helluva night!!! All the rules of logic did not apply to me! All the lines that were never meant to be crossed were invisible... kinda! LOL

It felt good though!

Doing something different for a change really helps!

I was feeling down, stressed, tired, and sad!

Today? I am feeling better :-)

Oh and for those people who have their minds wandering FAR away! Get real!!! :-P

Amazing

My co-worker (and someone I consider as a dear friend to me) D.D. sent me an email of paintings... some magnificent work! The artist behind it is her cousin :-)
I want your feedback :-) Fabulous or what?
