Third day of the surgery. I able to sit up and do a bit walking. Yesterday was horrible. Doctor and nurses came to assist me to sit then stand up. It feels like a blade slicing through your flesh. I stood and walk a bit, dizzy and they put me to bed again. Cried a bit cause of the pain.
This morning was much tolerable. The nurse came in the morning for routine check then informed me that I can discharge today. Then came along the Doctor...changed dressing and guide me to sit and walk again.
They allow me to clean myself then he said I am ready to leave by tomorrow. Oh boy! one more day.
Lucky they remove the urine tube yesterday evening itself.
My parent will be coming tomorrow. This evening, my third sister came and my cousin too. Chat heartily. They left a while ago.For the entire stay, Shan stayed overnight. Aid me during the middle night in case I need to go bathroom.
Spend half a day sitting up and watch tv. Then remaining hours doozing off. I never see my face so fresh and clear for a long time.
I am blessed to have such a wonderful friends and family. Being the drama queen I am, made known to entire world that I am in for a procedure. Blessing and prayers came from every corner of the world too.
The surgery took place about 09.30am on Tuesday. The Anesthetic Specialist came the night before itself and explained the procedure. He did asked me if I want fully or half body. I rather passed out during the entire procedure. That morning, as I was wheel into the OT (Operation Theatre) the receiving procedure was thorough. They asked me to reconfirm my signature of consent and asked if I knew the surgery is for what purpose.
Then The Anesthetic Specialist came again, put in the drip and injected with two type of medication. One is pain killers and the other is for antibiotic. The night before itself he gave me three tablets for pain killers, antibiotic and I can't remember what.
Took me in the OT and I shifted to the operation bed. It was so so so cold inside there. They have to remain it at that temperature as certain bacteria do not infected in that temperature. They cover me up with a warmer and then start with final injection. The Anesthetic Doctor sang Rozana - Search. I giggled. He just did it to calm me down. That's it ! Black out! I have no idea absolutely.
All I knew, they call my name. I need to shift to another bed. Struggle through and I am wheel back to the ward. The next 4 hours was wake up and sleep...wake up and sleep..groggy, mumbling..name it. I just did not leak out my ATM password..that is all.
Felt the urge to pee...I was complaining I want to pee...then Shan said you got the urine tube just do it. I said NO I WANT TO GO BATHROOM. He said cannot..then I was....Zzzzzzzzz.....
My sister came thereafter...then another one...then my cousin. I woke up ...listen to them...interrupt a bit then... Zzzzzzz....snoring like drunken sailor...happily sleep...Change into single room and I passed out again.
My colleague Sandra came to the hospital too. Her mother was in for a cataract procedure. Minor one, so it is just a day care. She kept me company for a while then her mother came for a visit. There was another friend too. Auntie Thangam. Sandra's mother is a doctor - GP by profession. Dr Shanthi.
First when she walked into the ward, hug and kisses. I m so touched, then we chat. There after she saw bunch of flowers that I got. I said it is from office and one is from a friend. She was a bit taken back as Sandra did not received any from the office while she was in for her procedure earlier.
To make it more worst, she went on to take a closer look what my colleague and team's message was. I can't help to feel for her. A mother's feeling...you know.
Later that evening while having a chat of hi and hello with my Director of Assistant, casually I bring the matter up. He said "Damm...I m so screwed" ...I said Yes you are...hehehe. Give her a hug when u see her daddy." Hope he gave her one today. You can't un do what has happen but I do hope in the future, we play our part more actively.
When we are down with illness or unfortunate event, moral support is very important. Sandra told me that she felt lonely when she came off from the procedure. I said, I make known to the world not so much to create attention. But it is more of the moral support you received.
Our social network are wide, my well wishers are merely phone calls and 99% of it from Facebook. It is ok if you can't make it over to visit but, your prayers and wishes means a lot.
Sandra acknowledge it too, moral support is crucial.
At times, when bad things happen we will look at the world at whole different perspective. Somehow we just learned something from it. Our surrounding people are not that bad after all. There are brushes or scratches that is total waste of time.
Being hospitalized twice in two years...I have a lot to repent for. Counting my blessing on so many many things. All I can say is, stay healthy. Get check up regularly...with so much of preservative in food contain nowadays, we just do not know what is growing inside.
It turned out to be the cyst is size of my fist. It was the major caused of my low blood in years. They send in for biopsy just the check if it is cancer related.
This specialist that I am with was among the best. He is a person who listen and decide what is best for his patience. Being Sandra's family friend, he took extra care on me. I will not hesitate to recommend him to any of my friends too. He is such a responsible and professional person.
I am going to be away for six weeks. Counting from the day I was admitted. Long holiday..rest and retaliate...Rehab after all. After all those well wishes, this week is the recovering method and remedy. Trust me if I say that I can write a book on it.
Life change from one stage to another, what a week for me. I need to self adjust it. Above all...I am thankful to have such a wonderful lover. Shan is the person who able to walk through the mess with me. He stood with me while I m bleeding through and till now he still standing by. All those clinical disposal from me was nothing to him. Rubbing hot ointment all over before sleep to putting up socks for me to ensure the warmness...when a man loves a women...it shows...for that I am so blessed. Amin !
