Day 7 - Out of Here!

Today I had a good restful sleep! They took my blood 3.30am and 8.30am. I got up at 9am feeling super well rested & brushed up before having breakfast!

9 plus the doctor told me I could be released today if my INR levels are balanced up and in the therapeutic levels. And the blood results came back! They told me I was going to be discharged!!!

Super happy I didn't have to walk around with that roller thing anymore and my first habit getting off the bed was to go and push that! Super funny :P the nurses all laughed hahaha.

Had a great shower and changed back to my clothes.

Waited till around 12 and Adam from Act's baptist came! He stayed for quite a bit till around 2? Mum and dad came around 2. The pharmacist checked trough the medicine 3 times before leaving and she nearly sold me on a few hundred tablets of painkillers I didn't need, afterall, strong men don't need painkillers...or do they? Haha

I checked out at 2.30pm and uncle Jason came to pick us up. I felt sad leaving the hospital and the friends I made. I found some of the student nurses on Facebook though. And I felt sad that I was leaving my super ultra comfortable bed that could rise up so high and contort to a comfortable rocket seat position HAHAH!

Was home and I did not do much! Showered and did almost the same mundane things. Aunty Corinna, Raymond & Kevin came to visit our family. Good chat and I let them play my simulator heeeheee.

Day 6 - Sharp Pain + CT Again

Day 6

The day started at 3.30am when they drew my blood. 4.30am I woke up with a sharp pain in my front left of my brain. It went on for hours till at about 5 I took paracetermol and it didn't work so they gave me 50mg of painkillers. It kind of didn't work because the pain lasted till around 9 plus before I felt better.

Doctors woke me up at 8am and I told them about my pain before they said they will send me to a CT scan to check it out. I feel like a Guinea pig undergoing tests haha. Oh well another $300 flying away!

Had some marshmallows and had a great full body shower! What a Luxury! Managed to clean myself and I felt really fresh! :))

Went for CT scan and mum and dad came. Mum left and I had lunch that she cooked.

MY cousins Geraldine, Chek chin, Tiffany came too.

My colleagues Denise, Chloe, Ally, Gerrard, Stephanie, jerry came to visit me :)

Uncle William & dorothy , Michael and Ivan from BA came! They prayed for me.

Marianne, Uncle Jason & Daniel came. She left and Daniel and Uncle Jason prayed for me.

Dad came down again with McDonald's. Terrence and Jtaime my poly mates came down to visit. Before aunty Rebecca came. Mum came shortly after with another round of mcdonald's :) foodcoma!!!

Bro came with avocado juice ! Yummy but I couldn't drink much ;) was full!

After that I just washed up and pretty much got ready to...watch Who's Line is it anyway! Haha spent an hour and a half watching a few episodes and let the food digest before heading to sleep! :)

Day 5 - blood takes and long breaks

I only remember being woken up at 3am and 7.30am for blood taking. The doctor came and woke me up after 7.30am to do checks and update me on my status. Currently my INR is 1.5. The desired level is 2-3.

Breakfast was solid today. It was like sticky porridge with fried onions. Gobbled it all up. Tasty!

1032 finally managed to be unplugged and went to wash up n clean up :)) feel so fresh !

Took my weight and I weigh 74kg! Drop from 79. Must be from muscle loss

Uncle Russ and aunty chew Peng came. Followed by my mum. Explained to them the story I explained a million times and when my dad came they left. Bro came shortly after.

All left and uncle Patrick came and missed mum and dad by 10minutes. Chat a bit and I went to rest after. Zanna and her friend Nadira came to visit.

Rested for a bit till Clement came! He stayed for a while till my mum came.

Aunty Jan came with lots of food and Kamy came with food too! Mushroom soup and angle hair spaghetti with Portobello.

Aunty Jan brought olive rice with chicken. Yummy! :))

Clement left quite late about 6 plus! Before sister came up. And Ah Yi's family came! So sweet. They prayed for me and stayed for a while before they left.

Mum came back and I did my toilet washup and poohping before she left and I went back to watching who's line and laughing off :P

Day 4 - Headache is Back

Day 4





Had multiple needles stuck to take blood and a anti biotic needle stuck on my right hand which hurt like crazy.

When I got up at around 7.30am I went to brush my teeth and wash my face and shampoo my hair. Before having breakfast. It was like mee Siam with Milo.

Doctor came to check on me after I finished the noodles and I went to watch ironman for 40 minutes before headache set in. I took a nap and 2 doctors came. 1 was the same doctor that checked on me earlier.

They tried finding causes but couldn't conclude.

They lowered my drip from 15ml/ h to 14ml/ h. And say I'm stabilizing. Let's pray I am stablising.

So sweet liyi & Jason got me a gift. Kamy got me flowers. Vimi & Jolynn got me a crossword booklet & a plushie. I got so many gifts lol might need my parents to bring em back haha.

Good chats with my friends ! ;)

Weijun and Melvin came and Shaun from NP came.

They left & Mum came back. Heng Zhu and Amirrul arrived! After they left I took a short nap.

Jonadab, Corinne, wing Kit came.

Emmanuel, samuel, Linda & Michelle came. A pastor from another church came over & prayed for me. He looked really young!

Today has been a blessed day. I felt like a hamster :=P napping like after a visitor left and waking up again. Because of the headache that arose throughout the day. But all is well! My Mum and dad are awesome!!!

Good night ! 9:45pm
