Wrapped Up July 2011(2)

16 July 2011 (Saturday)
Finally its Saturday. Today I date my usual kakis to go IMM to look for someone whom I super miss as super long never see her already. She is none other than my God-sister, Ivy Tan!

Today she have event at IMM for Lala Xu Jia Ying. Although I am not Jia Ying's hardcore fan but I find her very talented and cute. She is so small size and when she stand beside Jie, she look super petite.

We had lots of fun at there and sing along with Lala when we knew the lyrics. Thanks Yuitleng and Onered for helping me to take picture with Jie. If not, I guess I will never take with her as I am still shy. (Not like me right? Hehehehehe...)

I do not really know was it due to the Nasi Lemak which I bought from the malay store at AMK Hub Level 1 or was it the Longan Almond Ice that caused the whole turmor. But I am pretty sure it was not my homecooked food that caused the pain.

I woke up with a sharp pain on my gastric. Normally, after taking the medication prescribed by the family doctor, I can at least ease the pain bit by bit.

Today was not the case anymore. The pain was not even eased. It got even more severe but I decided to wait and see for tomorrow since it's Saturday and I can get to rest at home. Pray hard that I will get well soon as soon will be the last lessons for all the modules. I do not wish to miss any lessons.

I wasn't expected to take any MC today but the pain still won't leave me alone. Plus I have run out of my savings to see the family doctor last friday. Left with no choice, I went to Ang Mo Kio Polyclinic as it was cheaper.

Seen the doctor, took 2 days MC from the doctor who repeatedly asked me was it due to stress. Why would one think it was due to stress and not that I really had gastric pain due to some other factors?

Anyway, I seldom took so many days MC. This round it had became 3 days MC since last Friday. Was not even expected to have more coming up as I really do not wish to miss any lessons. Pray super hard that I can really be cured real soon.

I had already tried all I can and I had exhausted all the money for my 3 days MC, still the pain seems to love me super much that the medications given are of no help at all. Can you imagine that all the medications that you used to take were of no use for curing?

Left with no choice as I am still feeling very pain and unable to attend school, I went back to Ang Mo Kio Polyclinic again. This round, the doctor was reluctant to issue me 3 days MC as it was against the rules to give me 3 days. She suggested if the medication does not help a little by tomorrow, I have no choice but to go A & E for further examination. What! Did she mentioned A & E? Yes, she did as she see me in pain and she also stressed that if it wasn't due to stress at school, than I really have to go see specialist to cure it once and for all. But where on earth to find money for A & E when I am only a student with no income?

What I can only do is pray that her medicines can really of some help to ease my pain a little by little. Already exceeded my usual records of taking MC. It was already 5 days MC. Can you imagine how much money I had spent on this 5 days MC? It was almost $60 if were to estimate! Pray real hard I can really escape from this pain...

I really had no choice, plus the pain is really killing me. I had used up all the methods which I used to use it for curing the pain. Till last night when I really could not get out of my bed for dinner, I begged my mother to give me money to go A & E today to cure it once and for all.

I was all alone to go A & E today. Plus, the pain is making me almost could not sleep. I tossed and turned till almost 4am than I can finally sleep. Went to A & E was not a very great experience. Never imagine I would ever went there but no choice I have to go there.

Tan Tock Seng Hopital, took cab down and walked myself to A & E. Went through the whole registration and consultation. I was given dripped as the doctor thinks I needed two packs. They also took blood samples to test for whatever thing they want to test. I was also given medication which taste like peppermint drink. Then I was pushed to a place where all the patients waiting to either for rest and then discharged or to admit to hospital if condition worsen. To be placed there all alone and I do not really know if I can really sleep, I keep waking up every 5 minutes till I finally decided to sit up and wait for the medication to take effects.

I can feel I am very sleepy and the pain finally ease a bit. As I was terrified that I had to stay in hospital, I asked for discharged. By then first pack of drip was already used up but took 2 hours to finish dripping. The nurse also puzzled how come it was dripping that slow. She helped me changed another pack while she called for the doctor to come to check if I can be discharged.

Luckily I can discharged but I wasted the 2nd packet of drip as it was only 1/10 used. I was scheduled for a followup on 7th September 2011 to decide if I needed any scope test as my latest scope test done was in 2006. God! That was really very long time ago! Alright, what's important now was I am able to be discharged! I quickly went down to collect my medication and left for quick brunch after which I went home for rest. The medication is really making me sleepy. Thank god, I am about to recover soon!

I was a bit stupid for not stressing that I had diarrhea ever since I had my gastric pain. Today diarrhea got worsen while my gastric condition was improving. I went in and out of the toilet almost every 10 minutes.

I am not making it big but it was really that serious. I diarrhea till nothing to come out already. Till my leg was feeling weak but still I am able to walk around and even went down to buy my dinner. How strange I am?

Summarized it, I took 6 days of MC due to this deadly gastric pain which the TTSH doctor diagnosed as GASTRITIS. Sounds very chimilogy word. I guessed it was some kind of virus. Hopefully I can really return back to school as I had already missed a lot of lessons. It will be last week for school next week. By hook or by crook I must get back to school. Hopefully I can get well soon.
