Haiz...Onli the 3rd day of changing the dressing ...and... something uncomfortable happen...

I shall cut the story short....

This very afternoon..

My Que no. was called upon.. Number 1111..i entered the dressing room..
I was asked to sit down by the nurse on duty...As usual, she was preparing for the change of dressing at the same time...
But...when she removed my dressing... she stopped and told me something...She said i am allegied to the mircopo(the plaster on my neck)!!!I was completely stunned..

What??

Am i that unlucky ??even the plaster can cause me uncomfort!!

Of coz she had to do something abt it... she suggested me to use another type of plaster,the Tegaderm .. which have to bought in the phamacy=( Spend money again=( $1.05 per piece... and i have 1 week + to go ....OmG!!!!

Date: 7-9 of july 2004
Venue: Singapore General Hospital
Transport: Uncle's Car
Accompanies: Grandma and Uncle


It was 7 20 in the morning when the phone rang .. I picked up ..Grandma says. "hey xiang ar..ur mother called me to bring u to the hospital ar..pack up and we meet at downstair.."Choiceless...i agreed... grabbed my wallet ,handphone and mp3 player and went down to the hospital with her...

Arrived at the A&E unit we were.. Entrance fee of $80 was gone! Patiently, i waited for the consultation in this freezing zone. Finally, i was diagnosed and was discoverd of having an infected sebaceous on the right side of my neck. An operation was to be arranged on tat eventful day to remove tat soreful infection..ANd b4 they could have done so, i had to be warded=(

Ward No.57 Rm no.25 Bed 4, a smaller corner of the magnificent hospital...
With the consistent pain on my neck i lie as comfortably as i could on the bed ,awaiting for my turn to be operated..Not to be surprised tat i had to fast b4 the operation.. But to my horror... I had fasted for 12 hrs !!and the operation wasn't performed on me on tat first day !!! Goodness !! Coping with my hunger pangs , i had to control my anger too.. i knew i had to calm down.. doctors and nurses had apologised to me for the delay as tat was a great no. cases of emergency going on =( It was 12 10 midnight then .. No more place for food in the hopsital except for tat puny 7-11 store. WAd else can i do besides curing my hunger??

The Next morning... I could see the sun smiling to me =)I hoped tat day would mark an end for the operation and true enough a working staff was there ard 10 am to fetch me to the operation rm. i was delighted as well as nervous at tat pt of time.. First operation afterall and hopefully the last=P

Well, well, along the way to the Operating Room , it was like filming a scene exactly wad was done in an emergency action taken by the paramedics in the show.. Lights, lights and onli lights were the onli items i saw...Upon reaching the Operating Room , outside the rm , a routine check was carried out.. I was asked for my identity ...i was glad to give my name and ic no.but what irritates me was.. One after another kept asking me the same thing... oh gosh .. Y so troublesome?! dEspite tat , i did what was told..HAHA..

The most thrilling thought came to my mind when i was in the Operating Rm ... How was the feeling frm conscious to unconsciousness???And now I have to reveal to all .. I was tricked to breathe some oxygen frm the oxygen mask .. but i realised the harder i breathe in the more difficult for me to catch the air.. Feeling breathless after a few breaths.. and *blackout* it went..

And of course the next moment was..I was awake!

More to sAy but LAzy to Write..=P(TO be Continued.....)
