Confined at the Doctor’s Hospital

Who would have thought after a fun-filled Saturday with friends I’ll be confined the next day? Hays! I woke up around 3:30AM earlier to a stomach pain but after 10 minutes or so it stops aching. I told myself that I’m just hungry, then the pain started again and I thought it was just gas pain so I put White Flower in my stomach to ease the pain. But after 2 hours the pain still come and goes so I decided to eat. But I realized that the pain was on the right side only. So I went to my niece (nurse) and asked her what side is the appendicitis. She told me it’s in the right side. So I kept telling myself that it’s not appendicitis. But of course I got nervous ‘cos I know that it could kill me if my appendix ruptures.

My nieces insisted to bring me to the hospital but I told them NO ‘coz I really want to join the Silay tour. But around 7:15AM I decided to call our help to go with me to the Hospital as the pain grew stronger. But when I arrived at the Hospital it just stops all of a sudden. And the nurses just smiled at me and I think they don’t even believe me when I told them it was really painful. But of course they asked me for a lab examination and then when the result arrived they called the ER Doctor and she asked me questions and told me that it’s appendicitis. She called the ER Surgeon (resident) to confirm it. And the Surgeon told me that it’s really appendicitis and I need to undergo Appendectomy within the day.

Well, I told the Surgeon “ohhs?! Are you sure?! Do I really need to undergo an operation? Can’t I take antibiotic for it? It hasn’t rupture yet so could we do it tomorrow or the next day?” *smiles* I just really want to join the Tour. But he told me “No. It can’t wait for another day. Do you want it to rupture during your tour? Do you want to undergo 2 operations if that happens? And don’t worry you won’t feel anything ” Yeah, right! Bulahin mo lilang mo! Then he told me that he’ll schedule the operation right away and asked me who my Doctor is. Since my cousin-in-law is a surgeon I asked for him. Then I was scheduled for an operation in the afternoon.

So here I am now blogging after 1 and a half hour operation and 2 hours recovery. *Smile* Yes, the ER Surgeon was right. I won’t feel anything but he was also wrong I didn’t go to sleep during the operation or after. The doctor’s were teasing me during the operation and kept asking me, “How many gallons of coffee did you drink earlier?” But I just smiled at them and asked them some questions. At some point during the operation I started singing while they were talking about the Pacquiao fight earlier.

Since I can’t talk as the advice from the Doctor’s and nurses I decided to go online and blog about my day. But they are nagging me to go sleep and rest or they’ll confiscate my ipad and cellphones. I better listen to them or else I’ll be stuck here with nothing to do tomorrow or the day after. Ciao!
