FAQ: What happen to you?

This question is getting on my nerves already. I'll explained here once and for all. One fine day, I was crossing the road. I was talking on the phone, hence concentration was significantly reduced to 10%. I heard someone screaming, "STOP!!!!" but I just ignored it. A car cruising about 50km/h came and hit my right knee and it broke. My knee cap went backwards like those big birds. Ostrich? My knee cap was so badly damaged that I a knee cap replacement was required. Hence, I'm a little handicap now.

Just joking ^^

It all happen a month ago, it was Hari Malaysia (16th September 2010). I went to Adventist because both my eyes were super bloody red and swollen, I had UTI and my right knee cap was swollen. I couldn't walk properly and I was limping. Doc advised me to be admitted and further test are required for diagnosis.

Test 1
Did an eye swab. Ophthalmologist suspect that I have bacteria infection in my eyes.

Test 2
Took blood. But blood couldn't flow out. Only succeeded after the 4th attempt. (4 pricks)

Test 3
Saw an orthopedic. Sent me for X-ray but nothing was wrong. He said my knee was filled with fluid. So he said need to suck it out. I asked how? He said by injection. Ask me to lie down, put a plastic around my knee and the process begun. KNN! Suck out 50cc of fluid and got prick 5 times (9pricks). I was in pain, tears started to run down my cheeks. I can't walk anymore. The fluid was send for lab testing.

Later that night, the orthopedic came to my ward showing me the lab report. Don't understand a thing, saw something something bacteria = few. Phewwwww...a few bacteria nia ma. No big deal. So I asked him what should we do. He said need to operate. KNN! First time got admitted...must go under the knife d. I've never even done a x-ray before. And needles stucking in my body (IV) lagi tak pernah. Called my mum told her about it. Got very scared and nervous.

Surgery day
Was expecting them to shave me off. But they did not. Nurse gave me a special shampoo to bathe, wore the hospital gown and off I went. A nurse wheeled me to the operating theater. As we got closer it got colder. Sign the papers and I'm in. An anesthetist showed me a lying position picture, he asked me to imitate that post. I did and he injected my back (5th prick), most probably my spinal cord. He told me he'll just numb half my body and I will feel 'bah bah and song song'. KNN! People don't wanna be awake le. Just put me to sleep. After I complained, I think he also bth. Hence, put me to sleep.

When I woke up. It was hell! I was in pain. So much pain that I needed morphine. And this time to inserted something in my left chest(6th prick). really KNN. It was more painful than my knee. What kinda pain killer is this? Sometimes they inject it in my ass (7th and 8th prick) sometimes through the chest.

for morphine jabs

To be continue.

[talking about this really makes me feel all angry and upset again. so pardon my language]
