you’re sitting nicely in a dentist’s office noticing that…the tools are dirty and he’s just about to put them in your mouth?

It must have been such a great news for Jesse and Amy Carlsen, parents of conjoined twin daughters, Abbigail and Isabelle, to find out that the nearly 7 hours surgery to separate them went very well.

According to doctors handling the surgery, the process was complicated but there was a 90-95 percent chance that these twin sisters survived. The team taking part in the operation consisted of about 30 people, applauding when finally the livers were seperated.

These great baby girls are now doing just fine.

But how actually this could happened to them?

Conjoined twins happens where thezygote of identical twins fails to completely separate. They occur in an estimated one in 200,000 births. [wikipedia]

Are all separation surgery successful like these girls?

The younger the twins get the surgery, the bigger the survival rates. Especially now with more accurate imaging studies and better anesthetic and operative techniques.

However, the operation is more difficult in adults than in children whose brains are better able to recover from the surgery. This was what happened to 29-year-old law graduates, Laleh and Ladan Bijani, the conjoined twins from Iran. The world was sharing grief for the loss of these courageous and brave ladies.

Tomorrow I’ll be hanging out with the girls. That’s what we do for at least twice a month.

We’re going to the club or anything, just a happy lunch meeting.

Usually my dear friend, Dana, who picks the place up. She always knows nice small restaurants or cafés with great ambiance for us girls to tell stories and giggle without having other looking weirdly at us.

What about you? Do you have a bunch of friends that you can hang out with? If you don’t, I think you should try to make such a fun group like mine. It can cheer your day up! Why?

Because:

• By telling each others’ stories or problems, you feel like taking out some burdens that you’ve been carying on your tiny shoulders. Sharing the burdens with make you feel as if your shoulder’s widenning and they’re smaller.
• By sharing jokes or funny stories, you’re making yourself happier and others more cheerful. Making others contented will make you feel more jovial.
• By giggling together, you will excite your day and make you feel more comfortable & younger, as if you’re a bunch of high school girls haunting for cute boys (well, at least that’s what my friends and I feel)

Come on, get some friends to hang out with and tell us the wonderful story!

These days, you can find anytime information on how to live healthily. However, it just flows away like that right after you finish reading. You know but you pretend that you don’t.

From my point of view, that’s not how a person should live a life.

Yummy high fat food, tasty high cholesterol snacks, you can even find them in all over your kitchen. Wherever your head is journeying to, all you can find is food, the unhealthful one.

That is totally unwise and unfair to yourself. Only for less than a minute delight in your mouth, you put your life at risk. Well, if you think I’m being overreacted, I myself don’t think I am.

My co-editor, Riana Lance, had to face some extraordinary ‘moments’ to make her realize how important health was. I did, too. My Grandma had to suffer from diabetes and spent her days on a wheel chair out of amputation. That was a shock!

These days, I’d like to dedicate my life not only to my own health, but also others’. I’ve been collecting stuff regarding health than I can share with as many people as possible. This blog helps me a great deal on that mission ‘possible’.

I can post anything related to health. That’s important. I’d rather not see you all experience what Riana and I did, or worst, bethe victim of your own unhealthy life style. It’s heart-breaking.

Don’t wait ’til you get a shock to open your eyes that health is important. Open them now.

I’m not talking nonsense here. I just want to help.

I’m concerned. Now, it’s your turn.
