Seems that the Raya 'ang-pow' packets and paper bags are more colorful and attractive than Chinese New Year for 2021. Since, I am a collector of free stuffs, I decided to take this opportunity to visit the upscale shopping mall for some freebies during the festive season, such as this.

Happy Sunday and Good Morning! This was sent from my Instagram account with the picture uploaded from my WhatsApp friend this morning. Enjoy the greenery and lovely colors.

Below is another video taken during my short stay at another hospital earlier.

238, Jalan Macalister, 10400 George Town, Pulau Pinang

Hours: Open 24 hours
Phone: 04-238 8888

The Loh Guan Lye Specialists Centre is a 273-bed private hospital in the city of George Town in Penang, Malaysia. Located at Macalister Road, it was established in 1975 and has been expanded over the years. The hospital now consists of three wings - the Main Wing, a Diagnostic Wing, and a Women & Children Wing.

===============================================

I was admitted to Loh Guan Lye Hospital due to heavy bleeding for weeks and was advised by a gynae to immediately prepare to stay overnight for several procedures. After signing the consent form, these include a procedure known as EUA + Hysteroscopic, Polypectomy + Mirena IUS Insertion, + Dilation Curretage KIV Proceed.

After 1 week, the Histopathology - Diagnosis from Subang Jaya Medical Centre were the following:-

Clinical History
Cx biopsy - Thickened endometrium with increased vascularity.
Endometrial polyps TRO hyperplasia

Gross Description
A. Specimen labeled - Cervical biopsy
Received a piece of light brownish tissue measuring 0.5 cm in the greatest dimension. Submitted entirely in 1 block.

B. Specimen labeled - Endometrial polyps/tissue
Received multiple pieces of dark brownish tissue measuring 3 cm in aggregate diameter. Submitted entirely in 1 block.

Microscopic Description
A. The cervical tissue is chronically inflamed, with a mixture of macrophages and lymphocytes. The subepithelial tissue is densely infiltrated by acute and chronic inflammatory cells. There is no evidence of dysplasia or neoplasia.

B. The curretings consist of many polypoidal fragments covered on three or all sides by epithelium. Embedded in the stroma are cystically dilated endometrial glands presenting a "swiss cheese" like appearance of low power. There is no cytological atypia seen and mitoses are present in both glands and stroma.

Diagnosis
A. Cervical biopsy - Endocervicitis, no evidence of dysplasia or neoplasia.

B. Endometrial polyps/tissue - Cystic glandular hyperplasia with polyposis.

In summary, it's simple hyperplasia without atypia.

To cheer up the sombre mood, below is another "Good Morning" Instapic message.

Here's another one.

Finally, stay safe and stay happy! Selamat Hari AidilFitri to all Muslims.

An ultrasound scan, plus D&C, biopsy with lab tests found fibroids and polyps in the uterine lining with some precancer stage 1 cells in my endometrium and uterus.

[Videos] Blessed Easter Sunday, Lunches, Natural Wood Products and Good Morning

The video above shows my lunch at J.L. Gourmet with amazing folded paper art on table tops and on the walls. These are lovingly made with patience to piece each folded paper bits into a character. I had fish florentine, consisting of dory fish covering braised spinash and sprinkled with cheese powder.

Yesterday was Easter Sunday, commemorating the resurrection power of Jesus that defeated the power of Satan or the evil one on planet earth. Because Jesus is risen, we humankind can now enjoy blessings, prosperity, health, eternity as His children and victory over whatever circumstances life throws as you. Thank you, Jesus, for your sacrificial death on the cross.
