once bitten twice shy

this is by far my most horrible experience ever.
I got admitted into the hospital because of what seems to be a "snake" bite. haha.
zzz okay. it wasnt all that funny at first okay. I thought it was a twig that stabbed my foot but i found two puncture marks and it was so painful, i cried for 2 straight hours.
yes i know.. i have very low pain tolerance. haha
But the pain was excruciating!!
.
Then my parents and dajie brought me to a 24 hour clinic but the doctor said must send to A&E. My goodness!! i was thinking, really got that bad meh. okay, then i was sent to CGH A&E. and it was like 12 midnight that kind. heh. and the wait was ridiculous!! seriously, people would have died already. The more i waited, the more stressed up i became, and the more painful the pain got.. So i cried even harder. haha Zzz
by then my foot was already turning reddish blue and the swelling was even bigger. How can i not be paranoid right? (haha i'm just trying to justify myself la)
.
Right.. So i finally got to see a doctor and he gave me a jab to ease the pain and i was still crying. haha (in case you dont know, i have a phobia of doctors, needles and pills. i rmbed the last time i cried my lungs out was when i was taking my jab for mount ophir and OBS in sec 3. haha and i teared when i was taking some jab before i worked at BnJ. so loser really haha )
.
Anways i think i made the doctor so stressed up, he panicked too. haha. Then they did an X-ray to check if the fangs or whatever it was, was still inside. but good thing there isnt.
So after that, he said that i have to be brought to the observation ward for 6 hours and see what happens but before that i had to take another jab to stop the "poison" from spreading! ZZZZZZZ
so the very "gentle" nurse gave me a jab. and she was like not not pain right? not pain right? oh yeah right. at the same time she was using the cotton wool and wiping the the area. NONO. more like SCRAPING the skin. haha.
Then they forced me to swallow this pain killer cos the jab didnt really work. oh my!! i swallowed, and it came back out. and i swallowed again. UGH. haha what is wrong with me really..haha
.
Then they brought me to another doctor and this time he said, SHE HAS TO BE WARDED. haha YAY. actually i was quite happy then. cos i was never warded before haha so i happily waited for them to bring me up. and i was thinking, Yay i get to wear that pink pajamas. haha zz
I had insurance so we opted for the B1 ward. (you know 4 people stay that kind) but no space. haha so i got into an "A" ward without TV.
heh. so it wasnt much of a holiday anyways. boo
.
as i was saying. Then another doctor came up and said, they havent taken your blood right? OH MY. TAKE MY BLOOD?? by then i nearly fainted. and my mum and dajie was happily laughing at me. heh.
I was feeling so miserable. haha
.
Everyone went back to take my stuff and they came back with KONG BAK BAO and OTAH. haha my bed actually said, no food. and i was happily eating KONG BAK BAO. haha
seriously, it has never tasted so good...
.
So by the time everything was settled, it was like what 5 am? and i couldn really slp cos my foot was so painful. The next day, the chief doctor came in and said, "oh my, is she in isolation?" ISOLATION? AIYO. then i realise that my ward was meant for those isolated patients that require special attention. so thats why no TV!! haha but i wasnt isolated la. just that got no space.
.
okay. so i got warded like 2 days. i was so desperate to get out of the hospital. haha the smell and everything made me even sicker. haha felt like puking all the time. and the medicine they gave.. heh SO BIG. how to swallow. so i had to take the spoon and break it into small pieces then i can finally eat. the first few i took was so horrible. i tried to drink it down but it came back up, and i swallowed again, but it came back up again. then it was all like "melted" and bitter, and i got so paranoid, i started chewing the Pill and drank it down. UGH. but the bitter power was stuck in my teeth.
I never felt so miserable really haha. Why they dont give me syrup!!?
Check out the bite and my swelled up foot. Can you see the difference? so gross can. and this was taken yesterday and the swelling supposed to have gone down already. but its still big. Heh.
Actually, they're not sure if its a snake bite or a centipede bite la. it seems too big for a Bug but too small for a snake. But just today the doctor said that its a snake bite cos i have the symptoms of one. so yeah. final verdict. Snake bite. but what a small snake ah. heh oh wells.
BURGERS. i couldnt walk, so cannot go out to watch TV haha. so sad. anyways. i'm glad i'm home.
only joseph came to visit me although i told him not to. aww :) Poor Dajie didnt sleep the whole morning when i was admitted and he came the next day stayed with me till i fell asleep again. aww.. thats nice :) plus he bought Doughnuts from Vivo! yay that made me a happy snake victim. :) :) haha
anyways, i didnt really allow anyone to come cos it's just a swollen foot! not some terminal disease. haha actually i should have. cos i was so bored and i can only lie in bed. HEH
my arms still hurt from the jabs
.
no more hospitals for me!!
