Oh The Pain!

I'm writing this post in a hospital bed with the hospital wristband in my left hand and the drip infusion needle at the right.

The pain is lesser now after the medication and I'm hoping to be discharge this morning. I couldn't really understand what the doctor was saying when he did the diagnosis so I looked at my medicines and google up the names. Typical me. He he he

So I figure out this much at least. According to Google, I have this Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in which the stomach contents (food or liquid) leak backwards from the stomach into the esophagus and cause heartburn and all those pain that I have been having for the past few days.

This is my first time admitted to the hospital, infused with glucose drip and undergo the Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (why do they have to make the term so long and non-pronounceable to mere mortal like me I could never understand) which includes inserting a thin tube with a camera on the end through the mouth and the tube is then passed into the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine, snapping pictures of how my internal organs are doing in there.

While I was being pushed down the corridor to the ground floor for the scope (that's what the nurses call it), my eyes stared pass the neon lights in the ceilings and on both my sides were the staff and nurse keep telling that it was a simple procedure-that I'm not going to feel anything etc...I almost feel like I was in one of those movie...he he he.

Being sick is of course not a pleasant experience and I hope this is going to be my last visit to the hospital. The doctor and nurses are very nice people but I just can't stand the pain and the fasting and the needle and the lying around all day. Plus I don't want to make Mom and Nanak worried. Nanak called me and almost cried when I told her that I was in a hospital. Bless her for keep sending me text messages saying that she miss me. :)

Now is waiting for Wel to visit me and the doctor to say I'm free to go. Hehe

When Necessary

Yes. You don't have to finish you medicine just because you feel like it. If the pain stop, give it maybe 1 or 2 days then don't take anymore of those pills. I don't really have a concrete reason. I just don't like the thought of it. It's not natural and definitely not organic. Haha

Anyway, I woke up this morning feeling like my head weigh a hundred pound and after settling a few task at the office, I took a half day off for my body to rest and chase away those viruses. I'm suppose to feel drowsy now. I got like 5 packet of different medicine prescribe by the doctor today. Maybe I should have crunch it to make the effect way faster? Urghh...Maybe not.

One thing I know that I should do is to stop thinking too much. Just let it all go fuck itself away and I'll be ok.

I'm getting myself ready for the sleepiness now. Haha

And yeah, I'm grateful for the doctor for giving me the medicine and let me take a day off. Thank you very much.

Nitey nitey everyone.

One of those days

Outside, it's raining heavily and I'm inside trying to update the blog while fighting off migraine. Feel like hitting my head on the wall. Can only manage this. Off to sleep now. Dammit.

Catching Up

So far, i didn't see the physco around lurking behind the bushes anymore. ;) Thank God for that.

My sort of self-appointed brother Yie is in town today so we had lunch together & talk about many things & catching up with each other. He's working in KHell so we only get to meet up every once or twice a year. It feels good to sit down and tells stories about our own life so far & what both of us are up to. He's still into Volleyball these days, as to how we met in the first place and i envy him for that. Volleyball is one of my favourite sports & i could not remember the last time i played that game. Last 2 years maybe? sigh~

While i was trying to sleep & endure the headache due to flu last night, my friend Stella told me that his sister, Mellisa who happen to be one of my best friend since secondary school is going to Penang today. She'll be staying here for a week! Now i'm going to have another catching up to do. Mellisa is currently studying medic in Russia & only be going back to Malaysia every once or twice a year. The last time she's in Penang, we went to get our toes eaten (or bitten) by small fishes in one of the fish spa in New World Park. That experience... punya geli geleman. We promise to meet up tomorrow & i'm so looking forward to see her.

My nose are red & swollen & i'm holding a tissues in one hand & typing using the other hand. And outside...strong wind & heavy drops of rain indicate that i should take a nap now.

Going to watch a theatre later tonight. Dusta Pada Skala 1 hingga 10. Will be crapping again here after the weekend is over. Till then, adios.

Dizziness

I've been feeling dizzy & my eye sight blurry for the past few days. Even feeling nausea at times. Whenever i'm trying to look up to something afar, i'll feel lightheaded & i have to like open my eyes bigger to reduce the strain of focusing my eyes on something. Some say it has something to do with the balance organs of the inner ear. I just thought i might be getting 'rabun'. Or maybe because of the Vitamin A-Zinc + Spirulina + Garlic that i took altogether just before i felt like this on Sunday evening. But that's just vitamins. Not some drugs medicine or anything, no?

I tried sleeping early every night but that didn't work either. Maybe i'll go see the doctor this evening after work. sigh.

Today is Thursday

Exhaustion result to a leave...as in E=MC2

I wish i can say that i've been away this long because i went some place close to a paradise & been hiding there ever since. but no. i've been so busy with work that i have no problem sleeping at night & my body ache all over every morning.

And i think finally, all of that has taken its tol on me & after weeks of stress...i fell sick. Should i be rejoicing?

I got flu since Thursday & just last night, i got a nasty migraine that i woke up half-heartedly this morning calculating not to go for a work today. Thinking of the mountains of pilled task already waiting for me when i get at work, i push myself to get ready & head to the office....

Now, at 10.30am i'm at home typing this post because that sweet doctor gave me an MC for today. Anyone would not want me to be working when i got a migraine anyway, cos i'll snap at every small things & i'll 'jeling' anyone who try to contradict me...i just get angry easily & i can't controll it. so better be home.

I would not be typing this at all actually but of all the migraine pills i ever had, this one is quite effective...almost all of the pain is gone & i only feel dizzy now...& drowsy....i reckon it's time to hit the sack..
