Health

Now Fully Recovered!

Fever is gone!
Body regained the strength!

Now… finally headache is just gone!

Yeah, am back. Am really back!



This is image. Not of real me, though. Haha.

Vaccine's side-effect is here for now

I guess, I am an average person since really coming to have side-reaction / side-effect of being vaccinated.



Body is dull and heavy… I am sure that I have fever… even though it is not that high, I guess.

"I guess" - because I cannot tell for sure and how much fever I have.

Well, there is no (body) thermometer home!!! Haha. True.

I stay easy and keep things low for all day. Attended business meetings, though.

2nd Vaccine Completed

At 11:15am, 2nd anti-Corona vaccine shot is given at work.
Yep, same as 1st one, it is Moderna one.



As per media, it is quite common and 3 out of 4 people to experience the side reaction.
Hope I get least…

Went to work for shot as casual as possible:



48-year-old "OLD" man should not look so funky?!

Haha.

Baker Cyst

Doc gave me a DVD with full of MRI pictures in DCM format.
Converted into JPEG and here are some for you to take a look.



Up is my knee.
Bottom side is back side of my left knee with Baker cyst.



Left is my knee and right is back with Baker cyst.
See?

Oh boy!

Ganglion (swelling on a tendon sheath)

Golden Week Holiday finished miles of walk along with swelling…
Swollen back side of my left knee…
Didn't get cured easily and decided to go to a clinic for check:



Size of swollen part was about ping-pong ball or maybe bigger.

Doc told me that it seems "ganglion." Nothing serious.
X-ray taken and I was told that bones and cartilages are all fine.
Cannot tell that what really causes this.

He then asked me how I would think if we would leave it like that.

Well, we could.

Asked him if this is normal size so that I can live with it.
He said that it seemed bigger than what he normally sees.

Another option was needle suction.
According to Doc, it merely takes the water-like out and won't be permanent treatment.
Swelling can be happening again, he added.



Well, I understand.
Though, big swelling is very annoying and Doc and I agreed to do needle suction to see.

Treatment took place and he told me that amount of water-like was up to 40cc. Pretty decent amount.

Of course, swelling was shrunk like another was there.
At the end of day, swelling does not happen again yet.

Will see how this would go hereafter.

Doc said that there is no need to come back (to see him) unless another swelling happens.

Okie.
