Keep Bleeding

Please don't misunderstand that I'm going to write about the song by Leona Lewis...
Yes, it's a very interesting pop song...I'm just using the title to describe my bleeding...
Well, I would like to admit that it's tough to wait even though for every half an hour consecutively until 3 hours...
Out of sudden, my tooth ache, actually it was since last week...so yesterday afternoon, I went to consult dentist...he explained what actually causes the pain: it was my wisdom tooth of the upper left row of teeth, which actually bite on my inner gum, that's why when I close my mouth tight the pain comes...it too happens while eating...
and I learned that lower row of teeth is supposed to be inside a bit (hope u understand this, I can't think of words to exchange, my vocabulary is too weak) compared to the upper row of teeth. So, the dentist pointed out that none of my family members have this problem: lower row of teeth is out a bit than the upper row of teeth...and only me who have this problem, so things went through my mind such as braces, should or shouldn't I? do I need to pluck off another tooth?

Firstly, the main problem solved, that I pluck off my upper left wisdom tooth (1 wisdom gone..just kidding, nothing to do with wisdom), therefore, my wound keep bleeding, and according to dentist, it takes 3 hours to stop bleeding (as described above, I need to change my gauze every half an hour for 3 hours)...required me not to sleep, eat, drink hot drink, and rinse my mouth, and can't do heavy exercise (sigh)...such a time, bored while waiting while can't do much thing...however, I fell asleep on couch...it proved that sleeping is not allowed...it causes my blood came out of my mouth unconsciously and dirtied my notes...hope it doesn't dirty the couch...didn't check anyway...and was prescribed: pain killer and antibiotic, plus tooth rinser...the rinser was really painful to my gums (unexpected)...it wasn't an easy thing to face the fact that the effect of plucked tooth was 'memorable' especially the sound of tooth plucking out...good job dentist! my tooth was perfectly plucked off intact wholly (fully out including the 'foot')...it costs RM200! there gone my $$ and my wisdom tooth (ouch!)...

I went for Siemens run this morning...thank God that the wound didn't bleed and guess what? I've got medal & cert. It's all because of God's grace...though I shouldn't do heavy exercise, still God allows me to do with the strength He provided, praise the God! Hallelujah! That's because I asked before hand...before the run, even the night before...Thank God! :) God is good, all the time..and all the time, God is good!

Headache...

I was having headache since last Saturday (when I woke up too early in the morning), resulting in yawning the whole day...it was mild at first, then the pain became more severe...so, I went to sleep in the afternoon...well it doesn't get better plus, I felt that my stomach filled with full of wind... Ouch! Knowing that the next day I have marathon, so I just prayed, hoping to finish my assignment as early as possible...still it dragged till 12 am..
Good enough, heading to bed still headache...well I asked God to release the pain, at least I could make it for the run the next day to glorify Him...
Slept soundlessly...true enough that my headache went off on Sunday morning as I woke up, however some pain still remain but it doesn't trigger...thank God! So, by His grace, I managed to finish my race...and even got a medal...(which is belongs to God) because without God I would never have that opportunity and strength to earn it.
Everything went well until it reached early evening when my headache started to trigger (I'm not fully recover)...well, I called my friend and ask whether it is a symptom of migraine? But, the answer was NO! So, I'm advised to take rest and consult doctor if it gets worst. Once again I prayed with faith that I will be recover as I wake up...amazingly, the pain went off as I woke up for dinner :)
On Monday morning, I felt a bit headache...maybe I'm being paranoid and doubt of my recovery, I still felt some pain on my head, it was just a slight pain (maybe it's psychology effect). To find out the reason, I decided to SMS my friend who's also a doctor. After a while, she called and asked if my headache comes every morning, and did I vomit? Do my family background have associate with tumour? Yes, for the first but NO for the rest of the questions, so I'm at in risk of brain tomour...So, I questioned God whether it's time for me to go or it's me of little faith...? I searched for the details about brain tomour...being negative minded for a moment, trying to search the truth...
Thank God that the next morning, I'm well, no pain on my head (I'm completely healed!) Praise God, so I believed that I'm made well to continue to serve God, and do His will.
Sometimes, trusting God alone is not enough, although faith is important, faith without fellowship with others especially brothers and sisters in Christ will not help us to grow. This lesson I've learned from God, and I shall not doubt of God's healing power and my own authority. Also learned about some facts about brain tomour.
Relieved...
