Dengue

So I was just discharged from hospital last Friday due to dengue. I was never admitted to hospital other than 2 times when I was a baby (I was born in a hospital, and I was admitted for fits when I was really small).

Visited my grandparents in hospital while they were still around, but basically that was my experience going to hospital.

Oh, watching tv dramas don't count, do they?

So when I almost blackout twice, my parents sent me to hospital and I felt very frightened. It's like, there will be needles poking me, doctors telling me bad news on my report.

I called Husky to notify him that I might need to be admitted to hospital, cried once. He came to visit me while I was still in emergency ward, cried twice. On day 3 the nurse couldn't find my vein but still die die want to take my blood, it was so pain I cried the third time. In front of Husky also.

This story tells us that Husky is always there when I cried. Or that he was there, that's why I cried. So he shouldn't be there. Sure something bad will happen one HAHAHAHA!

Okay just kidding.

Basically what happened to me was, nurses barging in for BP and temperature checks every 2 hours, blood test every 6 hours, staffs barging in for various reasons such as deliver newspaper, deliver 4 meals, clean the room etc etc. So I had a lot of visitors. Hahahaha. I had much rest during the afternoon, at least not so many staffs coming in and out. But I always had phobia when I saw nurses coming in with a trolley. I would always ask, nak ambil darah ke? Sometimes it was just BP checks, so I was relieved. As I totally lost what was the time, I always had to ask the question. And bringing the drip thing in and out is very mafan thing.

I appreciate my freedom a lot after that. To be able to move around freely without my new pet (the drip thing?), and to be able to use my right hand freely, because bending in different angle will cause my hand to feel pain. Oh btw I had trained my left hand to bath and even wash hair on its own LOL.

The meals, for first few days I was pretty excited to choose my own food. After that my appetite just dropped (I'm scared of brown rice now!) and my food choice was nasi lemak and potato wedges. Hahaha so not healthy.

Husky visited me every night, my parents came in twice a day (must be super hectic for them 😩😩😩), Nek visited me once, she even wanted to barge in and wake me up but too bad I was already awaken (thanks to the usual BP checks). My colleagues wanted to visit me but somehow I felt lazy to meet them. It's like, I didn't have a good rest and I don't know which exact time you'll be reaching, and I certainly don't want to wait for you. So I might as well just sleep and ask them not to come. Hahahaha.

But finally after 6 days I was allowed to be discharged!! My legs felt weak, because all I did was eat and sleep for whole week. No places for me to walk around also. And thank God for medical card! Can't imagine sharing my room with another patient, who might bring his or her kampung to visit (and even overnight!) there.

This flower has a funny story. So it was supposed to be my 3rd anniversary with Husky, and he already placed order for this flower on Thurs, and to give me on Sunday (our anniversary was on following Wednesday). Mana tau I go masuk hospital, and he had to give me in hospital, which becomes gift for a patient more than for anniversary purpose. Hahahaha!

Basically end of my dengue story. 😁
