I was down wz flu & sore throat very frequently for the past 5mths. Until then i tot i shld just get my tonsil checked. Indeed it was bad, swallon & big. So I got to get some referal letter from Doctor Ko since I've been seeing him for the past mths he shld noe better. I have exhausted my Medical claim of $300 per year imagine, it was not even 1/2 a year. My medical leave was 3/4 used up till i got a counsling form form my TL.
2 weeks ago I went to TTSH for a doctor/Speciallist appointment & he has suggested to hve my tonsil removed. So yesterday was the day of my Day Surgery
I came to the Day Surgery @ 8am, was told to be there 1 hr early for the operation is to be at 9am. I was scared, God noe how scared I was. I only manage to just say prayers & zikir the minute I step into the Day Surgery Registration Desk.
Finally my name was called, So salam mak & ayah. still scared but just hve to be calm. The Staff Nurse weigh me, 67kg.. biar benar, just a day before that I weigh 75kg.. maybe becoz i hve to fast the day before from 12mid night till the day of the surgery... So i went into the hospital bed, they gave me my gown to chnge. Then I just lie down on the bed, & there was where my zikir starts. At abt 8.45am they wheeled me to the operation theather, then they start asking repeated question like my name, my ic no & if the signature on the form is mine & all that stuff. Doctor only came at 9.05am then they insert the needle on my left arm they start talking & I answer then put the oxygen mask on me & then suddenly.........
I woke up I was already at the holding bay.. they call me name I just nood my head. I'm still giddy... I felt like vomitting.. then later it was ok. so they wheeled me to the Day Surgery ward. I was fully concious then, but still dizzy & now i really felt like throwing up.. Coz i didnt manage to ring the call bell for the nurse to come. It was already all over my bed.. gosh disgusting, it was all brown in color.. eeeee.... terrible man..
Gosh after that i felt better, no more dizzy. I asked the Pinoy staff "Oras?" she said 12noon... I was asking for the time coz i cant see what!!! Oh then they took my spec for me so that i can see. Later ayah came then he collect the medication for me. Then I went back to sleep. The lady beside me had her family all come to fetch her. so noisy lah, i cannot go back to sleep. Finally she left wz the family. A new lady came beside my bed... i heard something abt she want to see the doctor, insist on seeing the doctor. she want to noe how big was the things or what so ever that was operated on her or something.. Alamak another noisy lady, she told her Staff all the life story already.. Then i feel like wee wee, call the staff she came to the toilet wz me.. so paiseh, dont care alh.
Its already almost 4pm. I heard ayah's voice then I saw mak & raudz. Nurse say I'm having fever so will hve to wait a little bit. I was telling myself its better that way just incase i fall sick at home its even more worst. So at 4.20pm Nurse took my Temp again, its 37.9c. earlier it was 37.6c. I was given panadol, amazing i manage to swallow then wz out having much prob, Alhamdulliah...
Nurse asked me to change I can go home now. Temp was 38.2c but doctor say its ok just continue taking the panadol everything shld be just fine...
Head home, it was raining so we took cab back. Ayah left his bike at the office we all took cab home.. I went home, get some more sleep. Woke up at abt 7pm. Mak make me blended porridge. gosh its teribble taste. I took the antibiotic - Augmentine that big one.. ish ish ish... took panadol too. drink the jelly gamat, was told its good for luka2.. makan lah if its untuk kebaikan right??
later at abt 8pm while watching news, I just felt like vomitting again. So I spare the plastic bag, alamak again, I didnt manage my timing right lah. I throw out before I manage to place the plastic bag in front of me. Poor Mak had to clean it up. Told Mak sorry.. kesian mak.. Then I realise that I had yogurt earlier, I shld hve coz my tummy was empty. It was even worst taking yogurt. Well I just hve to sms my sister & friends, or simply hand signal wz my family or write note on papers that I've already standby.. haahahah... I manage to sleep early, miss watching Dia & other stuff also.. But sleep was more important then.
Today Alhamdulliah I'm feeling much better, eat porridge - real porridge in the moring. Had mash potato for lunch, Ribena for my cold drink.. not to bad though...
So I will be on Hospitalisation till 2June 05... good luck man..
