That Unbearable Pain
May 8, a day to remember.
I was cut up!
Well on the night of May 7, went home after my light dinner and started working on the camp that I was organizing. Tiba-tiba, my right side, around my waist felt pain, odd pain, so I thought, ok maybe tummy ache or maybe I have been holding in my pee for too long (tmi right??) I have this bad habit of doing what I need to do first before wasting my time on the 'throne'... Stupid, I know. I kept pressing and rubbing the area that was painful till it was all red. Didn't know I was making it worse. You will know why later. Couldn't sleep the whole night, just tossing and turning on my bed cos it got worse the moment I lay down... Peliknya...
4am, made myself a glass of Eno cos I thought maybe my tummy is full of wind, hence the pain. Sadly enough, it didn't help.
5am, sapu my grandma's medicated oil all around my tummy. Nothing happened.
7am, sat up, wanting to go to the loo, OUCH! Cannot even walk properly anymore!
I was still degil though... I showered hunching, brushed my teeth and put on some make-up, ready for work.
I was supposed to head to Astro for a radio recording session with my client, so I thought, ok the pain is horrendous, I will just drop by the clinic, grab some pain killers and off I go...to Bukit freaking Jalil.
The moment the doc saw me, she said I was gila to be still heading to work. She said: "Drop all your plans, I'm writing you a referral letter to the nearest hospital, go NOW!" Ladies and Gentlemen, it was Appendicitis.
How on earth did that happen??? I did not jump around like a lost chicken or did any somersault of sorts! What??? Oh ya, and when I said I was making it worse by pressing on the pain, it was because the doc said my appendix was leaking and by me pressing it non stop, I was pushing out all the poison from inside the appendix and it was all over my system. :-O
Actually right, what is the appendix for? Have you ever wondered why God made the appendix? It has no function whatsoever... Ada, takde also can go on living...
Anyways, I digressed...
I couldn't bare driving to the hospital by then, so I drove home and my sis was kind enough to take some time off work and sent me to the hospital. When we got there (service was super slow btw), doc said could be 2 things. Appendicitis or...Ovarian Cyst.
Again, what???
Needed to do a scan to confirm which was it and I had to wait donkey years for 1 scan... 2 hours to be exact? And after the scan, waited another like 2 hours for the results? Then waited another 3 hours to get a room and go for my surgery. In the course of waiting, I was on pain killers, my butt was full of needle holes.
Surgery done, I couldn't move, laugh, sneeze, cough or get up... It also means I can't shower... Eeeww!
Going to the loo was the biggest challenge cos I had so many things attached to me. Like seriously, I had tubes all over.
Well to cut the long story short, it was Appendicitis and I was admitted for 4 days and the bill was a huge b*mb. Thank God I had insurance. Here are some depressing photos...

One of the tubes
The nurse placed it at my wrist, how 'smart'. I can't even bend my hand.
My delicious hospital food right before I got discharged
On the brighter side, flowers from friends which really brightens up my four-walls day
Toodles!
