Another Emergency

in ane with IV line

It all happened on wednesday, woke up with pain on my abdomen, thinking that it will go away, got P ready n send her to cc. The pain was intense would rate it an 8/10. Walked to office with my back all hunch up to reduce the pain, ard lunchtime i feel like i was a bit feverish, cancelled my afternoon instrument appointment (it is v difficult to book, it is a sign tt i m nt well) and took a cab home and rest. Thursday, seems like the pain is better, i went to wrk as per normal, fever in the evening again. Friday, pain come back so is the fever. initially i tot i m down with viral fever and gastroflu, as i kept wanting to vomit. Pain was very bad in the evening, told myself, i will need to see my GP. P hugged me to sleep on friday cos i was in pain. P seems so mature.

Call my GP on sat morning, walked to the clinic when they msg me tt my turn is up soon. Doc told me i should check myself into ane soon, she suspect appendicitis. In my heart, i was thinking, cant b so lucky ba..... Took P to have lunch in foodcourt and i went back to pack my bag, just incase i need to stay in the hospital. P put a photo of her in my bag, she seems to know that i will be admitted. I went straight to Gleneagle ane rather than NUH, since we all know abt the long wait in the public hospital. The pain was getting very bad, waited for 2h for the blood test result. WBC count is high, they suspected infection, so i have to wait for the specialist. After toking to the specialist, i was told tt i need a CT scan to confirm if it is appendicitis anot. His main concern is, he suspect my colon has been infected. After CT scan, it was comfirmed, so he told me if the infection is bad, he will need to cut away my bad large intenstine and sew back and if it is very bad, he will need to cut me open. At tt time, all i tot abt was P, can ATM take care of her when i m in the hospital.

In half an hour, i was rushed into the OT to remove that useless piece of flesh which has burst and infected the neighbouring part. Lucky none of the large intestine need to be cut off. So i consider myself lucky. When i woke up, i found 2 mentos were lying on the bed side table, ATM told me it was from P. I offered her the mentos, she told me it was for me cos i was in pain and the sweet will make me feel better. At tt moment, i was so touch, i cried. Maybe it is nt a bad idea tt she was there to see the nurse poke needle into me and being rushed to OT. During the 4 days without me, ATM said she behaved well. Not complaining too much abt ATM, since he has to take care of P and sent her to cc. Told him is ok to let P wear her T-shirt attire in the morning and home clothes after shower, since i know he will nv iron P uniform. I should be glad right, they did well.

I m on 2 wk hospitalisation leave, going back for review again on friday. After all this, i can see that P is showing her concern towards me. Counting the plasters on my hand, when she saw 1 is missing, she will ask where is it or as asked if i m still in pain. Her EQ is definately improved.
