Here are some recollections, of my week long stay in NUH Ward 51 Bed 11.
I would say that the first two days were like hell, cos i was practially immobile. I hate that feeling when you can't move, and all you can do is lie on ur back. But your back hurts just as much and the vomiting really doesn't make it any better. It was really like Psalms 23: "Ye though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil."
Thank God for His strength that i managed to pull through the sleepless nights, and 9 times of vomiting, not mentioning i couldn't use much of the painkiller cos it made me vomit.
BUT! God's light always shines brightly at the end of the tunnel. I gradually got better, got used to staying in hospital, peeing in bed (lol), turning from side to side to find a comfortable position and trying to gobble as much food as i can and learning how to stand up and walk again.
At the end of it all, I realised now how difficult it is for our grandparents who are immobile or those who have Parkinson's Disease feel. It is really a torture when you cannot move and all you can do is lie there. Makes you feel unwanted, useless and really bored.
So for those of you, who see people like that, stop and care for them, because they really need it.
Really felt like an old person when i was in the hospital, where people had to feed you, bathe you, clothe you, help you to take water, and do basically everything for you. Like a baby, i had to learn to walk again, sit up though it was really painful and eventually learn to bathe myself, get myself out of bed and walk for long periods of time.
Now I'm still recovering! But i know i'll get there:) It takes time, plenty of time.
I think what i hate most is i cannot eat chilli or chicken for like 1 month!? All day I eat fish and nothing but fish! Hhaha..and i cannot eat my favourite ba cho because there is black sauce in it, neither can i eat black pepper crab because it is seafood. haiyoo!! i think i will lose weight le, although i really got no more fat to lose, cos now i look like some long stick! seriously..haha.
OKAY..so i must TAHAN!!! and hang in there cos it's for my own body good. so i shall not grumble anymore!!! :)
Here are some pics for you to see!
