Hello readers! Admitted in hospital on the 16th of october 2011.
It was a Sunday, and i was supposed to be undergoing some scans and Operations.
I dread the hospital of course, but that was no choice!
My ward!!
17th October 2011
Have been fasting since yesterday 1.45am and was not allowed to eat for the whole day
Drank milo and eat biscuits before i was restricted not to eat!
Before the drip, i was supposeed to set a plug on my hand for contrast and also for the drip.
Was on drip at about 6a.m to replenish my fluids.
Din not have such a good sleep and finally it is 7am and time to wake up!
The curtains were drawn in the wards and breakfast was coming in at 8am but i cannot eat!
I was given my headache medicine and a limted amount of water.

Not long after my mom and uncle arrived very early and accompanied me to those scans.
I was scheduled to have my whole body isotope bone scan before my CT scan of the thorax.
However, i was sent to have my CT scan first as the contrast for the bone scan needs time to get absorbed by the bones.
So, i went for my CT scan which was quite fast but something unfortunate happen, my plug leaked and the contrast leaked out or maybe some liquid leaked out.
After the CT scan, i changed my clothes as my clothes was soaked and was sent back to my ward as it takes about 3h for the contrast to settle in my bones. My mommy and uncle went for lunch first and when they they come back, it was almost time to go for my bone scan.
I went for the scan and they straighten my knee for the scan such that the pain was excuciating and i cried.

Went back to my ward once again to prepare for my operation in the afternoon.
I was supposed to go for a bath to kill all bacterias before the operation.
The nurse helped me and i accidentally drank some soap water. Yikes.
Then i bathed with antisceptic solution and changed into my operation robe and got ready!
The bed for the operation were already here shortly. I felt nervous already!
I got onto the bed and was wheeled into the waiting area outside the operation theatre.
The nurses and doctors assured me that everyting will be ok but i was still very very scared!
I dunno why i am still scared despite having two major operations.
My mother assured me that i will be alright.

Pillow my mum bought:)

I asked the doctors and anathestic doctor a lot of questions to calm myself.

They acceded to many of my requests, like not wanting to put the mask and so on.
I like the anathestic doctor for this operation, he is nice and assuring. Thanks Mr. Ahsok!!

I was groggy from my operation while they wheeled me back to the ward
My mother and docs called me but i was told by my mom that i did not respond to them.
Later after that about 7pm, my uncle and sister stayed with me for a while before leaving me to sleep.

However, as the lights at the ward was too glaring, i used my socks to cover my eyes.

For that night, i din sleep well but i was quite nausea and feel pain

as i can only lie on one side and the pressure build up made me uncomfortable.

I was constantly being monitored for fevers too and checking of BPs.

I woke up constantly and tried turning a bit. as my leg was wrapped up like a dumpling, my movement was restricted.

18th October 2011

I woke up without waiting 4 the nurse to call me.

My feeling of nausea was gone but i still quite weird! Tried eating to build up my energy level. I was fed my medicine before eating my breakfast.

I was also on antibiotics intravenously but i started to feel like vomitting which is like a reaction after they injected the medicine in.

After that, they changed the medicine to oral medicine and i feel a little better.
Feel bored and uncomfortable at the same time

Cannot get out of bed and walk which makes it even more bored.


My breakfast!

It was nice playing monopoly deal after being cooped in the hospital for so long.

After that kar wai invited the boy opposite me to play together after my uncle and his boss left.

We played for quite some time and kar wai had to leave for some matters.

So, we stopped playing and i ate my lunch which consists of fish and rice for lunch.

After at around 4pm, kar wai brought me to the cabin together with Vanessa.

It was the first time going to the cabin and it was a really nice place.

He came to the cabin and we chatted for quite some time, it was nice seeing him
After chatting, i played monopoly deal with vanessa and the other vounteers. They were nice and friendly:)
After a few round of monopoly, I began to do artwork and being assisted with my artwork by the volunteers. They helped me with painting my peg and i had a nice time there.
