Hi this post is purely for memory sake. It's 1st of July and I'm still in quarantine (and yes, bored to death). So I was randomly scrolling through my phone and this totally slipped off my mind because I've alot on my mind. Yes, this post is going to be about my FIRST hospitalization experience. A rather horrible one to say. I was hospitalized in Singapore General Hospital (SGH) on the 20th June to 22th June. Thinking back, it was really super not anticipated at all because I was all going to work as per normal on that day but had to come home due to a fever peaking at 40.0 degrees. I was napping after taking an xray and my mum just rushed home with my report telling me to pack my bag. So you can imagine I was half asleep and still blur about what was happening. Everything became super overwhelming as I was shipped to A&E where it was decided that I would be warded. Due to low blood pressure, I even could not go to the toilet by myself because they were afraid I would faint in there :/ Shyly, had to pee at the bed. Okay, you need not know this! As the whole thing happened, I was super blur and not aware of how serious everything was. In COMPLETE blur. According to the nurses, I was lucky to be able to get a room by myself for my first-time and I was like 'really!?'. I had like a toilet with shower and a room by myself because I was forced to be in isolation so I totally stayed in that room for 3 days and 2 nights. Scary or what!? I had no idea why, maybe it was the hospital aura but the moment I was moved in, I felt my body deteriorating and I was feeling weak all the time. Yes, like 'royalty', people totally pushed the bed I was on all the way to the ward. This is a super first time. Very embarrassing as people looked at me with horror as they saw me being pushed away in their eyes like they are thinking why this girl being pushed away on the bed? Like they were very scared for me. Seriously, I was still not sure what was going on then.
No choice this needle on the back of my hand was there the whole way!
Imagine sleeping with those tubes connected to your hand, bad bad bad :(
So the purpose of isolation was that they were going to confirm the illness they suspected by the xray. Indeed, it was true (I'm not going to reveal what it is). Seriously, it was like a blow to me when I first heard it because I have never ever heard about anyone I know having this and the only time I hear about it is in school. The doctor was super calm and told me as though I was totally fine. I cried. Badly. I have to admit this. Sorry lah, people like me have weak heart lol. Okay, change the topic, LOL. At this point, the thing people like to talk about is about hospital food right? Hahahaha. Actually, to me, it was not that bad like what people say: like what no taste or taste like sh*t. The food is also classified according to which class you are warded and I was given the B1 class. The classes goes from A (the best), B1, B2 and then some others I don't know. It wasn't that bad to me but they do give a huge portion. Even my mum ate while trying to persuade me to eat too. Really pity my mum because she had to take care of me all the way. Mama zui hao! Mama wan sui! T.T But not to worry, right now, I'm handling it really well and you can hardly tell that I am sick because I'm very alive and kicking. Really looking forward to the end of quarantine though, it's killing meeeeee! This is me, signing off!
