Hospitalization leave

Let me start with the check up..Reached NUH at 10am, as expected, went thru health screening 1st b4 we r allowed to go upstairs for my check up. Jie has to register himself as I haf an appointment letter and he was an accompanying relative. But we both have to wear the masks for protection..abit stuffy..but its 4 our own good..

When we reached the clinic, the nurse check me in and asked me to pass all my tings to hubs before leading me into the procedure rooms. Hubs was to wait ouside for ard 2 hrs. The procedure will take 20min but i will need to rest for 1 or 2 hr before i can be discharged.
Was beri nervous, tot hubs can acc me into the room but then he was shut outside. Man, i realli
dunno wat is awaiting me inside.

A nurse came to take my height and weight and asked me to changed into the procedure clothing. Then another nurse came alot to help to inject a needle into the vein on my hand. I was damn scare can, needles!!!! agggrrrr...I tink i sound like a scary cat cuz i keep asking her whether it was painful to put in the needle, whether the procedure will be painful etc....

She was beri patient wif me, chatting with me when preparing to inject the needle, i tried all my best to hold bak the tears as she inject the needle into my hand, she said it is for the doc to inject the painkiller and sedative.After injecting the needle, she secured it with 2 layers of tape... den, i was sent out to wait as i was the 4th patient to be scheduled. I tink they are tranferrin patients frm the wards to do the scope aso as I can see 1 ah ma being pushed into the procedure rm and she look like she is sedated..

I waited for like an hr b4 i was called in. Once inside, i got more nervous, they made me lie on the bed and started the standard procedure on askin my name, IC no etc. den the doc came and was about to start the procedure when i suddenly asked why they didnt give me the sedative. I dun wan to stay awake thru the procedure!!!!

The nurse replied tat they are injectin now but then the doc juz went ahead wif the procedure!! I was damn scare can...At 1st, it was quite bearable and I stole peeps at the monitor, with my colon shown on it...but then dunno at which point, it got so painful tt i keep shouting to the nurses that i cannot stand the pain any more...

I grab her hands, but the onli tink she can do is to pat me, n keep askin me to take deep breath...i tink i teared abit becuz of the pain but then juz as the pain got unbearable, the procedure end and i was wheel out to rest in the recovery ward..

After the procedure, I am not sure why there was so much wind in my body tat i keep fartin. the nurses advice me to fart as much as i can to clear the wind..it was so malu..to keep fartin while every 1 was sound asleep in the ward.. I was aso wondering why the heck i was so alert why every other patient is sound asleep after the procedure...

Becuz i didnt eat frm the previous nite and the induced diarrhea, i was hungry to the core, so i called for the nurses to come and at 1st they refuse to let me get up but when they learnt tat i was hungry, the let me get up to drink a cup of milo and a few biscuits..

After that they decided to check me out as they realised i am not sleeply...wahaha...it was later that when i saw the report den i realise i was sedated..onli given pain killers...stupid doc, bluff me tat i will be sedated...idiot...to tink i keep wonderin why didnt i fall aslp...

The real torture came when i reached hm...my head was throbbing with pain, it was so painful tat my head nearly brust...after takin a bath i went to rest, but during the evenin after hubs left for his class, i woke up to vomit..not once, not twice but 6 times...i tink i nearly vomit out my guts lo...i nearly want to go to A&E le lo as they instructed me b4 i was discharge tat if there is excessive vomittin, i shd go bak to the hospital...

I went bak to sleep after vomitting...and didnt take any dinner at all...later in the nitez when hubs came hm den he make milo and brought bread 4 me as i haf vomitted out all my lunch...i felt better after tat...though vommitting stopped, but diarrhea still continue till today..thus i stayed hm the whole day today...


Although it was torturing to go thru the procedure, but seeing that the results are ok makes me feel so good. And most importantly, i have hubs beside me to take care of me and my 2 mothers to take care of my food..heheh..felt so loved...but neber agian would i want this experience le...
