Ramadhan Mubarak to all muslims around the world.
This year's Ramadhan started quite beautifully and I was able to fast the first 4 days of Ramadhan and started my 'cuti' on the 5th of Ramadhan...
We were back to Kerdau for the first day of Iftar - Iftar with in laws. Hubby's sibling gathered at his mom's house for Iftar. As usual I was not told that we were going back to Kerdau, if he told me ealier I would have prepare something to bring over. Resourceful as always... he he he, I packep up the leftover durians from the nite before and grabbed Cucur Lemak Manis Adabi (Adabi fritter mix) to bring back to Kerdau. I wanted to make Durian Fritters - the instant way!They had never had durian fritters before, and Alhamdulillah they loved them.
Came Tuesday afternoon the 25th July, the pain started. I prayed hard so that I would be able to fast till the end that day. Alhamdulillah, got a full fast that day, and the period came when I was about to perform Magrib prayer. I did check when Maghrib's azan started to confirm my fast...Alhamdulillah doa makbul!! I survived the days with painkillers and no MC this month!
However, as my 'cuti puasa' came near to the end, the pain is getting stronger. I started fasting again yesterday, been in pain almost whole nite as I was refraining myself from taking Arcoxia to prepare for my fast yesterday. I needed to take Arcoxia during sahur to enable me to fast. If I took it earlier, the nite when I was in pain, I might be experiencing pain by late afternoon. So to survive yerterday's nite, I took Panadol Menstrual and to manage the pain, I used hot bag and hot ointment. The pain was so great that I ended up crying.. Allah is great.. Alhamdulillah, I was ok the whole day and able to fast yesterday despite the terrible nite!!
Last nite, I actually felt asleep after performing Maghrib prayer and recite the Quran. Woke up by pain around 12am. I took Panadol again and rose to perform Isyak and Terawikh and ignored the pain.. So Ramadhan this year, I have to take Arcoxia during sahur so that I can fast.. Though it is a challenge for me during this Ramadhan, I have accepted this fate with open heart. At least I can take something to reduce the pain, compare to someone who cannot....
Happy Ramadhan to All.......
note to myself : Next, I should try Bekan Treatment, never done this before...will do InsyaAllah.
