My Recent News after Surgery

Dear All,

Four days after surgery, I think I'm ready to post a short news here. But, first of all, I would like to give big thanks to all my family and friends who have given a lot of attention and support by responding my surgery news last week through this blog, facebook, SMS and phone. I couldn't reply at that moment because at the same time I was preparing for my surgery. So, through this post, I hope it can be a good response for all their comments.

Great appreciation to all my family and friends who have supported me in their prayers, especially for Sissy--my big daughter, thank you for your great help to take care of her little sister during the day of my surgery.

My surgery went very well. Lancaster Regional Medical Center is a very professional and excellent in their service. It is the best surgery I ever had in my whole life as I ever had total 5 surgeries before (1 small surgery, 1 big surgery; C-section, and 3 medium surgeries including the recent one). I felt like in my own country. They treated me so well and very friendly.

The first impression was when I entered the registration area. It is like a guess room in the hotel. I didn't feel that I was going to have surgery in a hospital, even the small door that directs the patients to the pre-surgery room is like an exit door. It is the best hospital I ever go in USA though it is not huge hospital but really it is very best choice if you live near by.

Now I'm still under pain medication. Sometimes I have cramps around my tummy (down of my waist to the bottom) and it will make me difficult if I'm going to the rest room. Till right now I'm still waiting a call from my Obst for the result of the pathology test. Nervous of course but I try to get busy all the time when I'm not in pain.

I hope this news will give you a good view of my recent condition.

Btw, as other additional notes, Press Release for my novel has been published at four online media. You may visit and read them at:
1. BriefingWire.com, published on March 28, 2010, at 04.30 PM.
2. PRlog.com, published on March 28,2010, at 07.00 PM.
3. PR.com, published on March 30, 2010, at 03.00 AM.
4. KJPRNews.com, published on March 30, 2010, at 12.49 PM.

This week, I will send a paperback copy to www.kabarindonesia.com editor in Netherlands and www.kabarinews.com editor in California, USA. They are going to write a review for my novel and it will be published in their websites.

Another news, in my limited condition, I am planning to contact local library and bookstores, etc if they are able to host a small event for my book.

See you guys at another upcoming news.

What am I doing right now?

I'm still having more rest after surgery & waiting the result of the pathology lab result on Monday (tomorrow). Seven days off from work.
about 1 minute ago from web

I will have surgery tomorrow afternoon

After many days I posted some good news, this time I post its opposite.

After I had 4th times of hCG test (blood test to check my pregnancy hormone level) and twice of USG test, the results are:
- My hCG levels keep getting higher
- There is no baby but only growing placenta

This may not be dangerous so I have to take surgery as soon as possible. If I was ready this afternoon, I should take it but because I wasn't, the surgery will take tomorrow on Friday afternoon at 1.30 PM. I have to be in the registration area at 11.30 AM and will be asked some questions by an anesthesia staff. After surgery, they will bring my tissue to the pathology lab and I hope its result won't make me so worried. Please, keep me in your prayer for the surgery process and post surgery including the result of the pathology test.

I won't be able to go online in couple days but when I feel much better I promise to meet you again here with my new upcoming post to let you know about my condition after surgery.

Thank you for being my supported friends and I really appreciate for every mentioned prayer goes to me.

The Recent News: Purchasing Novel "Enthusiasm"

Dear All,

First of all, I would like to thank to all my family and friends who have congratulated me via emails, comments in Facebook, and comments in this blog. Since last week I have received bunch of congratulation wishes. Because of too many, sometimes I was late to reply them. So if you have sent it to me and haven't received a reply from me, please be patient. When I feel better and have more time to go online, I would love to reply you one by one. It looks like around 80% I have replied already and I promise to reply the rest of your comments soon via Facebook.

Second, there are so many family and friends who love to get a copy or e-book but because they don't live in USA but in Asian countries (most of them are living in Indonesia), they don't know how to get it meanwhile it still takes couple of weeks to be available to purchase via amazon. Below is a good example you should follow.

I got this news via email this morning from a blogger friend in Indonesia who is a student at an online writing course I am leading now (PMOH-Pelatihan Menulis Online HOKI) that she was successfully order my E-book via Xlibris through email. She is very enthusiastic reading my novel so she really wanted to get it as soon as possible. If you are interested to purchase now, it is still availbale only via Xlibris and if you live outside USA, you should call Xlibris at 1-888-795-4274 or send an email to orders@xlibris.com because Xlibris doesn't do transaction internationally via their website.

In the short time when I feel much better I also provide to sell it directly from me with my own autograph directly via Paypal. If you don't have a verified Paypal account, you first have to sign up there.

My Novel "Enthusiasm" will be available to purchase via amazon, barnesandnoble, borders, many other online stores and bookstores near you, probably around next 3-6 weeks since I write this post. I heard this information from Marketing Team.
