What Won't Kill You....
What luck! Just returned home after scoring myself a two nights stay at luxury accommodations with the Hotel Hospital RIPAS!
Yup! After successfully managing to dodge the dreaded hospital stay for the last 2 and a half years, my body has once again succumbed to a simple fever and sent me packing.
Started feeling unwell on Sunday, wasn't too sure getting up for work on Monday morning, but after 3 days off due to the National Day public holiday, I didn't want people thinking I was taking advantage of the long weekend, to continue it with a medical leave. However, I was sneezing and sniffling and basically blowing my nose through 2 hours of meeting with the YDM. Nasty! Abis kali sekutak tissue oleh ku. By evening, I felt really bad, and burning up.
Tuesday morning, hubs dropped me off at Ong Sum Ping at 8am, registered and didn't get called in to see someone until about 10.15am!! Promised myself next time I'm ill, I'm going to a private doctor, I don't care what admin says, because after more than 2 hours waiting and feeling miserable, I didn't even get to see a doctor! It was thestupid (sorry, got a bit carried away) community health nurse or whatever he called himself again! I need to see a doctor! So seeing as I was gonna get the same panadol and 1 day medical leave deal again, I gotta say, I kinda bullied the guy a bit and started sprouting shit about my medication changes, my tacrolimus levels and my immunocompromised state and what not... so, in the end he got me to see a doctor. Huhuhu! Sneaky! But a girls gotta take care of herself y'know. I'm surprised something even came out my mouth I was so pissed shit miserable by then....
So, had to wait a bit more, then got called in again to see the doctor. He gave me some attitude though about him having to see me who apparently only had a nuisance of a fever. Sasak pulang ku jua, tapi....ah....malas ku udah. So, in the end, got me 2 days off, some meds and also sent me over to RIPAS for some blood tests, urine culture and chest xray before the lunch rush. So it was a pretty hectic morning for me, when all I wanted to do was just lie down and curl up under the duvet.
Wednesday afternoon, went to see the dr again for the results of yesterday's test, and before I knew it I was being referred to hospital. Went straight to ward 20, didn't even bother to go home first and pack. So, there I was again, having my arm pricked for more blood tests and my hand reintroduced to the lovely iv cannula for my iv antibiotic. The night wasn't any better, what with the non-existent thermostat for the airconditioner, I was effing freezing. Then being rudely woken up with sudden bright lights to have your temperature checked and bp taken. Then again, at god knows what time, to be asked how many times I drank that night and how many times I peed! Good God man! Shouldn't you be asking me that like before I went to sleep!! I couldn't give a bloody &*^£"@%! I thought you're supposed to give the patient a good nights sleep to let them heal faster??!! Like my sister likes to say, 'Sasakku!!'
So, back at home again....can't tell you how good it feels!!! But back to hospital again tomorrow morning, but thankfully, just for another blood test.
