Last night, my body rebelled violently. After dinner, I kena gastrics again. The pain didn't subsided even after having a jab at the 24 hours clinic at midnight. At about 2am, when Kel called the clinic to enquire why the pain had not subsided, he was told to bring me to the nearest A & E. Coz the jab that was given to me was very strong, if it's not working within 1/2 of taking the jab, then something is very wrong with me. *faint*
We got to the nearest A & E at East Shore Hospital in record time. The physician on duty - Dr Chew diagnosed that I am either suffering from gall bladder inflammation or gastrics ulcer. However, he can only confirmed it by a CT scan. Thus, I have to be admitted straight away. The 1st thought that came to my mind was that I can't spent the night with Daryl. Haiz...
In the morning, when the specialist - Dr Melvin Look came to visit me, he also shared the same diagnosis as Dr Chew. Thus, he arranged for a CT scan for me immediately. He told me that if my scan results are clear, then he would arrange for a scope for me. He was very reassuring. He assured me that he would find out what's wrong with me by the end of the day. I was very relieved when I heard that. Finally, I can find out what's wrong with me.
Kel, Daryl & Asty came to visit me after lunch. Kel was very worried about me, thus he was hoping that he could catch Dr Look to see whether he has the answer to my pain. However, during their visit, Dr Look didn't visit me. I told Kel that Dr Look could be waiting for my CT scans before coming by. To 'distract' me, Kel showed me pics that he had taken of Daryl before they left the house.

At about 4.20pm, Dr Look came back to visit me. His diagnosis - I am suffering from acute cholecystitis or acute inflammation or infection of the gall bladder. Therefore, I would have to undergo an operation - Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy to remove the gallstones &/or the gall bladder. Dr Look scheduled the operation for tonight since I have been without food & drinks since 8pm last night.
I called Kel immediately after Dr Look left. I can hear the relief in his voice. Finally we know what's causing me so much pain. He asked me not to be afraid. After the ops, I wouldn't be in pain already.
Later, the anaesthetician - Dr Singh came to visit me. He came to find out more about my allergy to GA. As I am not aware of which specific drug that I am allergic to, I am not able to offer more info to him. He told me that he would try a different combination of drugs this time round, hopefully, my allergy will not be that severe.
At about 7pm, Mum came to visit me. Kel told me that she was very worried when she got the call from him in the morning. Thus, she insisted that she wants to come & visit me. During her visit, the nurses from the OT came to prep me for the operation. Kel & Mum accompanied me to the OT. As Dr Look is still in the OT, I was told to wait in the holding area for a while. As they can't go in into the holding area, I told Kel to send Mum back 1st. Then he can come back & wait for me.
When I woke up after the operation, Kel was beside me. He accompanied me all the way from the OT back to the ward. I hated how I feel after the operation, disorientated & very sleepy. Kel told me to go back to sleep. When I wake up the next morning, everything will be okie already.
