Pain! Pain! Pain!

First day of Hari Raya, it was my parents 34th aniversary. So, our family went for a dinner celebration at TGI Friday. It is a nice place with great environment for Western Food. Reached home late at 10.30pm night.... and the 'pain' from my back shoulder start. This time, pain killer doesn't work at all.

I tried to check 'it' thru the mirror. The swelling part turned big and red. The pain continues.... I planned to see doctor immediately but this is Hari Raya Day. Lots of clinic not opened. My appointment with Sentosa Medical Centre is on the coming Wednesday. I have no choice but opted to go on bed immediately. Sometimes.. sleeping is even better than medicine. But this time, it doesn't work and I couldn't sleep well. I felt the pain, I felt the heat.........

Second day of Hari Raya, I went to clinic in the early morning. Mr Doctor took a look on my back and said, "Ok, come into the surgery room to WASH it"..... Wash??? May be Mr Doctor intended to cold the swelling part. Fine, I followed the nurse in charged to go into the surgery room. I laid on my stomach and waited for the Doctor.

Here come Mr Doctor with a trolley of surgery tools. Huh?? Wonder why so many tools are needed for washing purpose. The doctor gave me a towel and asked me to hold it tight. He applied something cold in liquid form on my back and after that... i felt the pain on my back. Ahhhhhh..... he cut my back without my knowledge. It's PAINNNNNNNNNN.... 入心入肺...... which means I felt the pain until I can feel my heart beats faster than usual and breathlessssss.... The few minutes passed by as if it was few hours long. After everything is done, the doctor covered the cut on my back with bandage. After the minor surgery, I laid on the bed for a while before I can lift my body up again coz I'm seriously in pain.

Mr Doctor told me that the cut is very small and that's why no stitch is required. It will recover by itself. I was advised: 1, to re-visit him after 2 days to check my recovery status. 2, not to take any poisonous food in this period of recovery. 3, Not to expose the cut on my back into water... ermm?? How am I gonna bath then???

The good news is... I noticed that the swelling part is recovering and my back is back to shape again but the bad news is I observed that the cut is still quite deep and seems no recovery at all. Hopefully it is getting better as time goes by.

Well, the surgery was there all in a sudden without any preparation. Now I know this, 'The Doctor, The Liar' and I'll always remember this.

Sick

On the first day of September morning, once I wake up to start my working day, I found that the back of my body was in pain. The first thing that came to my mind was I might hit by something on the day before. It was just a common thing for a clumsy girl like me.

During shower time, I noticed that there was a big swelling part at the back of my body near the left shoulder. I was shocked. The swelling is even larger than a 50cent coin. OMG!!! So worry... I'm worry that it would be a symptom for an internal sickness. Dare not to tell my parents about it as just don't want the elders to worry on me.

The following day, i visited a doctor nearby during the office hour. The doctor told me that this probably was an insect bite and at the same time I was given some medicine to apply. I was advised to re-visit him if i am not recovered within 2 weeks time. This doctor really relieve my worries alottttt.

But today, after 7 days..... I can only see a minor recovery and very very little improvement on the swelling part and the pain is still never-ending. So, I decided to visit to other doctor again. This is the doctor that I used to visit all the time. After due checking, Mr Doctor confirms to me tha the swelling part was actually 'epidermal cyst'. Ohhh.... what is that?? Really have to idea on it!! The doctor is so kind and patient to explain the situation to me. In layman term, we should say it as 'big pimples', i guess.....

The doctor set a time frame for me. He gave me some medicine for consumption and for apply. If after 7 days, the swelling part still not improved, he is going to arrange a minor surgically removal operation for me. He said the specialist is going make a very little cut on my swelling part and remove the inner poisonous stuff from it. Upon completion, they will stitch the cut. Seems sooooo scary!!!!!!! I feel like fainted!!

7 days..... wish I can recover fully in 7 days time...... I wish for a miracle...... *fingers cross*
