Hospitalization

Sorry dat i haven been updating my blog for so long.. Talking abt bad health luck this week, the worst came on friday..

was down wif gastric + diarrheoa earlier on friday, but didn't see the doctor cuz everytime i did, my fucked up colleagues will start saying tings like i'm trying to laze from my work n shit like that.. fuck the army.. by late afternoon i was starting to get a high fever, n felt damn weak n cold. i even fell when walking to pick a phone call. later on someone passed a remark abt me giving excuses from getting a diskette somewhere n i was so pissed i almost passed out. went to an aircon room to slp n teach one of them do some charts. dozed off in the chair.

later on i heard someone trying to wake me up. tried to open my eyes but juz couldn't.. it hurt whenever i juz try to open even a tiny slit in my eye. i tried to open my mouth to speak, but couldn't - cuz i felt very breathless n was breathing very hard. worse of all, my entire body juz felt so numb.. it was like as if i was dead.

felt someone trying to pull me up from the chair, n subsequently a tremendous pain on my legs n hands. worst than any other physical pain i've experienced before.. felt like all my muscles were so tight that they would burst any moment. n can't remember much after dat, juz haf some faint impressions of feeling a horrible coldness n ppl asking me to open my eyes.

when i woke up i found myself in the hospital. the doctor told me some stuff i couldn't understand n placed me on drip. my mum n my sis were here.

later on i was transferred to a ward to stay. my first thoughts were 'oh shit.. wkend wasted..'.. aniwae i managed to walk right rather soon though there was some kind of cramp in my calf.. n i looked like a crab walking sideways. went to the toilet, changed into the stupid patient clothes n accepted the horrible fate of having to spend my fri nite or even the whole of saturday in a hospital. was so damn tired after the entire episode, so i slept soundly throughout the night, besides waking up to eat some food my dad brought, n to go for my xray.

lots of new patients were suddenly admitted into my ward the next morning. this swarm of doctors then surrounded me n started bombarding me wif questions like 'did u feel numbness?', 'did u see white spots of light?', etc. at about late afternoon, my family came to visit me, n to pass me my other hp. tings were starting to get quite boring, so i decided to sleep till evening. my mum came back in the evening with my earpiece n charger, so tings was starting to get better. soon the visiting hours were over, but i was very sure Ron n Ro would come. whoo.. indeed.. we talked quite alot of crap n soon the nurse came to 'invite' them out cuz maybe she cannot stand our crap.. after they left i juz stucked my earpiece into my ears n listened to music until abt 11.. tried to slp but couldn't, probably due to too much sleep in the afternoon n the discomfort caused by the stupid drip. tried to sweettalk the melayu nurse into removing the drip a couple of times, but she keeps saying 'doctor sae cannot'..

tossed n turned around in bed till ard 2 before getting knocked out. the doctor came soon after i woke up. considering that the ONLY good ting abt staying in the hospital is the food at cgh, i decided to trick the doctor into discharing me today.
'any pain?': 'no.'..
'cough better?': 'yes..' (wtf.. i never had a cough until dis morning).
'still got diarrheao?': 'no..'..
'alrite.. tink u can be discharged today. u stay at home and rest for the next 3 days.'
was kindda happy when i heard that. 3 days of mc in exchange for 1.5 days of wkend. i sms'ed my sis immediately, n prepared to pack my stuff. soon she came n drove me home.

and all this was just before i started typing this, besides the incident abt my bichir jumping out from his tank n i thought that a snake had juz made its way into my house n me having a hard time catching him cuz i was worried he might slither away if i try to grab it with my hands (my bichir can move DAMN fast on land.. tried n tested.).

keep u all posted tonite.
