In life, not everything has an answer.

I'm back.

I'm still alive.

Thanks to all who were concerned.


Sunday night, 11pm
I felt a sharp pain right above my pelvic bone on my right side. Tossed and turned the entire night.

My sleepy brain said: Faster go to sleep.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Monday morning, 9:30am
(After examining me)
Doctor: I think it's early appendicitis. If the pain persists tomorrow, check yourself in to the hospital, k?

My brain said: Ouch... But yay, I think can get more than a week of MC! WOOHOO!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Monday afternoon, 2pm
Me: Mummy, I think I have to go for surgery. Doctor said I might have early appendicitis.
Mummy: Huh? You fly back to Sabah now. If not, who's going to take care of you after the operation?

My brain said: WHAT!? Sabah is 2 hrs flight from here! What if the appendix burst in the plane? *Gulp.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Monday afternoon, 3pm till 8pm

Many many phone calls & sms-es came in. "How are you?", "Are you ok?", "What did the doctor say?"

My dizzy brain said: Oh no, maybe I'm dying...


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Monday night, 9pm
(Went to University Hospital for 2nd opinion, just in case)

Nurse: You have to wait for very long.
Me: How long?
Nurse: Very long. 20 over patients.
Me: Ok. I'll wait.

My brain said: Ok. Since I'm here already. Might as well just get it over and done with.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Monday night, 11:30pm
Nurse: I need your urine.
Me: Ok.

(Few minutes later)
Nurse: Put it there. Go outside and wait.

My brain said: Ok. Shouldn't be too long before I get to see doctor.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tuesday morning, 2am (2 and a half hours later)
Nurse: Miss XXXXXXXXXXX
Me: (Muttering under my breath) Ahh... Finally.

Doctor: So how?
Me: I think I might have early appendicitis. Here got pain (pointing on the pain spot)
Doctor: Cannot be. What are you doing here?

My brain said: WHAT THE??! I am here to SEE DOCTOR lah!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Doctor: If you have appendicitis, you won't be walking in already. You don't look sick. So how?
(*ARGGHH!)
Me: But I have pain here (I opened my eyes big big and point at the spot)
Doctor: Lie down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(While examining me in the presence of a nurse)
Doctor: Where got pain?
Me: Here (showing him the spot)
Doctor: What about here? (Pressing another spot)
Me: Ouch! (It also hurts)
Doctor: You better DECIDE now. Where got pain? HERE or here?
Me: Both.
Doctor: Cannot be. This doesn't make sense.

My brain said: Kick him, faster. Kick him!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(After examining me)
Doctor: Ok. Your urine test shows you have 75 white blood cells in your urine.
Me: Erm... ok. So meaning?

(He gave me the "what? I don't believe you don't understand what that means" look)
Doctor: It's not normal lah.
Me: So what is normal?
Doctor: (Staring at me) Normal is ZERO white blood cells.
Me: Oohh...

My brain said: HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW! IF I KNOW, I WON'T BE ASKING YOU DY! Grrr...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Doctor: I'll take your blood now to run a blood test. I think it's not appendicitis.
Me: Then what is it?

He didn't answer, took out needle. *Gulp. BIG needle.

(While trying to find my veins)
Me: Can you take from my right? I am left-handed.
Doctor: (*slap, slap, slap) I cannot find your veins. (Checking my both arms)

(He gave up after a while)
Doctor: There's a vein here. (Mind you, he's pointing at my WRIST!)
Me: No, you cannot take there!
Doctor: Why not?

My brain said: ARgghhhh!! Crazy doctor! Only when people commit suicide then only they cut their wrists! You wanna take blood from there? Might as well take from my NECK!

Me: (*Sigh) Take from the back of my hand lah.

He needed about 2 small tubes of blood. But he took about 4 tubes' amount. I think he purposely wanna 'kena' (get back at) me for back-talking him and keep asking questions.
Sniff sniff... I saw he throwing away my extra blood. Wasted. You vampire doctor!

Doctor: Go outside and wait for your blood test.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tuesday morning, 3am
Doctor: Your blood is ok. I think maybe you have kidney infection.
Me: But I have no problem passing water. If I have kidney infection, passing water should be very painful right?
Doctor: Er... then maybe you have kidney stone.

My brain said: Ok. That's it! Stone him!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Me: How come you say maybe? So what is it?
Doctor: In life, not everything has an answer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I gave up.

Still got pain.

Donno what it is.
