Back from the plastic factory!~!
Yes! I'm well and back from the hospital! Nothing major had change- was afraid that I have to operate alot of area... in the end she only did the lower jaw and a chin push out. ke ke and I was already alive and kicking the next day at the HD ward making all the nurse laughing.
17/01/07
I could not remember I was nervous, afraid or what... to be walking into the operation theatre by myself, sitting at the sofa waiting for my turn to walk onto the operating table. Can you imagine walking towards the table, climb onto the table myself? From the moment, I step into the operating theatre is like i'm out of my body, feeling nothing... super calm... talking joke with the doctors who attended to be... oh man, speaking about doctor, he poke me twice... first he can't find the stupid vein after poking the needle in and he has to pull out and find another spot and poke me again. You think not pain ah!!! I'm skinny mah, of coz my veins are fine!
That's all I can remember... the next moment I remember I was struggling as I woke up from my sleep ... and the next momemt I was been wheel around... and the next moment my mum came.. and the next moment I was alone lying in bed at the HD ward. Could not sleep the whole night, walking every 30min of so, thinking time has pass very fast... all I can do is lie there and pee, occassionally nurses come and disturb me checking my pressure, giving me injection. This went on from 7pm timm 6am the next day.
18/01/07
The next day I was well alert. Of coz, after sleeping for so long who won't be! I was already trying to talk (write) but I can't talk as my teeth are all tied up leaving only gaps for me to suck liquid. I was afraid before the operation as the surgeon say I will be miserable, swollen, etc but now I understand a happy person recovers faster. That's what happen, I don't seems to be affected by the operation, partially there is no pain... just discomforted. When I was wheel to the normal ward I was trying to move around. Actually, I can be discard on the next day but because I started to have allergy to all the antibiotic that they gave me giving me rashes all over my body that I have no choice to stay for another night.
Local hospital:
1. They are understaff.. why I say that because it took them bloody long to answer a buzz and sometime I felt they ignore it.
2. They also are less passionate about their job, they can't be bother whether the patients had taken their food before giving them medicine. I thought you should at least fill your stomach before taking any medicine or else your stomach can't take it. If young people like us can't, how can those sick old people? An old lady that stay opposite me went into ICU, I felt partially is the nurses fault. The old lady did not eat and they can't be bothered, keep feeding her medicine. The family members are worried sick. But of coz, I felt they are also a bunch of unfilial children as they can only complain, get fustracted with her not eating, etc. They don't even know how to carry her up or even bother to use just a bit of patient to trick her to eat, etc. All I know the old lady went into some complication throughout the night and the next morning, I heard she was in ICU.
3. Stupid nurse that insist that I draw up the curtain as she need to constantly come and check on my blood pressure. For god seek! Is pulling away a curtain so difficult? How can I possibly sleep with all the lights keep switching on and off?? Yes, I know this is a hospital but I think I desire to have my own private space right?
4. Nurses that can't speak the language. What is the possible of stating what language you are speaking when the nurses can only speak abit of that language. Most nurses are malays, althought they can understand and speak alittle of the dialet but I guess its quite limited to those hard to hear old people. I can't stand those Mainland china nurse... can't understand what they are talking about when they speak english.... was so scared they issue wrong medicine to the wrong person.
Okay enough of complaints of the hospital. Here is the picture of me after operation:
3rd day after the operation (back and home)
