There are a lot of stuff I have not heard of in the medical field up until DB was hospitalized. One of the things that the nurses hooked him up was a pulse oximeter. What it does is it measures the amount of oxygen in his blood. The funny thing was he kept pulling it out and the measurements were wrong and the beeper would go off. After they wheeled him to the ICU, they thought with constant hawk view of the nurses, he would not pull it off, but nope, he did. After the third time, the nurse clipped in on his right big toe. It was hilarious seeing his foot covered with the blanket except for his big toe. Oh well, I can laugh about it now but back then, I was worried sick.

Lazy damp Saturday
Comments Off
My furry alarm clock woke me up at 15 to 6 this morning. I really didn’t want to but then I thought since it’s going to rain soon, I should get my lazy bones up and go for my walk. If I don’t, I will be bitching at myself later.
Went and came back from the hiking trails, picked up dog poop and it rained and is still raining. I didn’t feel like doing anything today. I thought of going to the post office and to the Asian store, nope, didn’t do her. Instead, I plopped my lazy butt on the couch and watch “Hannibal Rising” and “The Shooter“. All these movies from Blockbuster online. Damn convenient. No late fees and as soon as they receive the one I mailed, I receive the next movie on my queue. “Hannibal” was good. I could watch it again. “The Shooter”, this is the second time I watched it. Another great movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat at all times.
After the movie, what did I do? Snoozed for 2 hours. Again, my furry alarm clock woke me up. DB fed them and I made dinner, showered and remembered I have assignments due.
Not sure what tomorrow will bring. The thought of vacumming really sucks. Might make a trip to the Asian store, or get a hold of Simmie.

Rain and more rain
Comments Off
I cannot believe I am saying this, I love the rain. The free watering is greening up the yard. It started to rain this morning shortly after 8 a.m. The weather forecast on all local TV channels have been saying the Twin Cities would get about 3 – 4 inches when the weekend is over. As of now, it’s still raining. It has not lighten up at all. At least the rain is light and not those torrential downpour, or gully washer, as DB puts it. Hopefully by dawn arrives, the rain would stop and I can go for my walk.
It feels like fall right now. Long sleeves and sweats afer I came back from my early morning walk and the whole day. The boyz are really enjoying this cool weather but they are still grumping for missing their evening walks.

Drug Rehabilitation at Narconon Vista Bay
Comments Off
I could remember my childhood days when my mom would take us to Menglembu, a town in the outskirts of Ipoh. It is where her grandmother’s house is situated. My mom’s oldest uncle has son who was a drug addict. He looks really skinny, never talks to us, and I think partly was my grandmother and mother told me and my siblings to refrain from speaking or come in close contact with him. I always thought that once someone is hooked on drugs, the druggie will be a dead person in no time. I thought of that because the commercials on TV in Malaysia showed how a person would die if one is addicted to drugs. I have never heard of a facility for drug rehab til I came to the United States.
A good drug rehab center should cater for individual needs with a wide range of treatments available for them. The success of each individual is based on how good the treatment programs are at the rehabilitation center. A one center that has 76% success in their recovery and continued to be drug-free is DrugRehab.net – A Narconon Vista Bay Company.
Narconon Vista Bay is a drug and alcohol treatment center is widely known for its sequence of regulated steps program. They are specially created to assist the person with their withdrawals, eliminate the remnants of drugs or alcohol in his/her body, learn how to converse with the others, achieve control of oneself so that he can be a responsible person to him/herself and to other people he is in contact with. The last step of the Narconon program deals with the motives why he/she began manipulating drugs, and at the end of the session, they will be enriched with the knowledge and assurance that he/she will be in control of their life drug-free and how they will enjoy life again.
The Norconon program was founded by William Benitez, in a prison-cell in Arizona. However, L. Ron Hubbard made significant researched and developed ways to assist addicts to go through their withdrawals without the intervention of other drugs. Instead, it puts them through a program where they do not have to go through the painful withdrawal symptoms.
This facility for changing ones life, Narconon Northern California, is located on a beautiful 30-acre campus. Their program allows individual to stay as long as they need, usually 3 – 6 months.
