Terrible Ordeal
Sunday, June 01, 2008

For those who do not know, I had just came back from the hospital where I had undergone 2 operations.. I had to remove my gall bladder as its filled with stones~

Anyway, it all started on:

Sunday Night - I had chest aches, i always had chest aches but usually it will go away after some time but the pain persist all the way til morning! I was sort of fainting and waking the whole while, meaning I would slip into a sleep then wake up feeling the pain again!

Monday - The pain still persists and it got worst after i ate my breakfast.. was already on the way to school, but the pain became more serious, i cannot walk straight and i was perspiring madly after a 5 mins walk. I quickly popped into the clinic near my house where they gave me a jab and some pain killers to bring home. Of cause, I felt better after the jab.

Tuesday Evening - The pain came again and this time, my whole spine feels as though its breaking! ate the painkiller and called dearie to bring me down SGH. i felt better when i reached the hospital due to the painkillers.. I had to wait for like 2-3 hours before I got to see the doc, and they told me that it was GASTRIC REFLUX, so they gave me a jab, medicines and sent me for some x-rays and blood test..

the 1st blood test i did was abnormal as my potassium level was very high, so i had to do a 2nd one to confirm it.. sent mum home 1st while waiting for the results, when i went back to the hospital, the pain came again and the doctor gave me some medicine and sent me home

Wednesday Evening - The pain came back again, it was as horrible as Tuesday, went back to SGH and they put me in their critical area, and the doctor told me i was too stress and I had to wait for like an hour before they gave me the painkillers!

dearie requested for me to be admitted cause i was feeling horrible the past few nights, guess what, the doctor told me that my prob was no big deal, i was just stress and if i want i can only sleep at the corridors because they do not have enough hospital beds and they will only admit those serious cases 1st~

wah lau, u mean cannot breathe not serious ar~ anyway she gave me some medicines and sent me home! so much for SGH- GOVERNMENT HOSPITAL~!!!

Thursday Morning - Mum was damned worried, she woke me up and sent me to see a specialist at Gleneagles.. I was feeling well, i vomitted once when i reached.. the doctor told me that he will do a scope for me the next day to see what is really wrong in my stomach and i cant eat after 12am..

anyway, it was not a prob for me, cuz eversince i came back from Gleneagles I was vomitting, i vomitted everything I ate.. so it was as good as not eating at all!

Friday Morning - Vomitted again once i reached the hospital, i was like vomitting air cuz i didnt eat.. mum told the doctor and he said that he will admit me and have to put me on drip as my liver is inflammed, maybe due to my vomitting..

did the scope and went for a scan and they found stones in my gall bladder and one of the stones had actually dropped out and got stuck in my bile duct which caused me the pain.. so i had to undergo 2 operations and i had to do both in one day..

the 1st one was to remove the stone that is stuck in my bile duct.. that operation is same as the scope which is by sticking some thing through my mouth and hook the stone up and they had to cut my bile duct to expand it~

the 2nd one was of cause the removal of my gall bladder..

i was scared when i went for my 1st op.. its like, operations are all scary.. and i sort of cried when i was being wheeled in, super nervous! but when i came out of it, it just seemed like i just had a deep sleep, i dun feel any pain.. just that my throat felt hollow.. as though i am having a sore throat..

so when i went for the 2nd op, i wasnt scared at all..

but i was so damn wrong...

i woke up from the op when i feel the pulling something out of my mouth, causing me to choke and cough and i can tell u the pain super terrible!! when they wheeled me out to mummy and dearie.. i really broke down and cried like hell!!

they had to give me pain killers.. and i went to sleep..

the next day, i woke up feeling that my stomach has just been cut.. i opened up and sort of saw 4 little stitches on my stomach.. the doctor told me that i wouldn have any scars.. so i wasnt worry bout that.. but to see 4 stitches and the threads sticking out was horrifying!

i took my 1st step and walked to the toilet.. with the help of the nurse.. it like took me ages to reach there, even its only beside my bed! i walked like an old grandma.. anyway, i was discharged on Sunday, as i can eat well and the pain sort of subside on Saturday!


They gave me my stones back, for remembrance.. dearie was super excited on seeing the stones that he even bring to work to show everyone la *faint*

anyway, the gall bladder is actually a filter for all your oily foods.. so when oily stuffs cant be digested it will be stored in the gall bladder during the night and the next day when u wake up, it will help you digest the oil again!

so now without it, i cannot take anymore oily stuffs..

NO MORE MCWINGS, KFC, CHAR KWAY TEOW WITH HUMSSSS!!

SO YOUNG ONLY CANNOT EAT OILY FOOD!!

OMG!!!
