Some of you know, most of you don’t….For the past one week or so, my stomach has been giving me problems. Little did I know, the major problem would be coming soon.

On Sunday night, I had a few drinks and got a bit drunk. At 2am, I started throwing out. I thought it was normal. Then I continue throwing out for the next one hour until there was nothing to throw out. I was feeling dizzy, weak and dehydrated.

I called a friend that’s staying nearby and he scolded me for calling him at 4am. So I had no choice but to drive myself to SJMC. I was in a rush that I forgot to turn off my pc, lights and more importantly my mobile phone. On arrival, the doctor admitted me and put me on drip.

I was on drip was placed on my right hand. The arm felt cold as fluids were being replaced in my body. I had to sleep with the drip and it was really uncomfortable. I woke up the next morning with nurses coming to take my blood pressure, pulse and tempreature. Then breakfast was served - chicken porridge and two slices of bread with strawberry jam.

The doctor came on her rounds and check on me. I was told that I could be discharged if everything was back to normal in the afternoon. There was nothing much to do in the hospital except to sleep, eat and more sleep. Lunch was then served - fish porridge with shreeded chicken soup. I was getting anxious to be discharge so I waited for the doctor to arrive. 2pm.. 3pm.. 4pm.. 5pm.. still no sign of the doctor. So I went to the nurses station to enquire. They were not sure if the doctor was coming or not. Sigh… what now??

I went down to my car and got a few coins. Tried very hard to recall the phone numbers of some of my friends. I managed to call two and they were kind enough to bring a change of clothes and my mobile phone for me. Dinner was served - chicken porridge. Sh*t, I cannot stand eating porridge the whole day! When my two friends came, they were kind enough to buy me some “real” food. I don’t care, I really wanted some real food!! When the food came, rice and korean BBQ chicken never tasted so good. hahaha…. They stayed and accompanied me until 10.30pm. It was real kind and sweet of them as I was alone in the hospital room.

Tuesday morning - woke up again with the nurses coming to take blood pressure, pulse and tempreature. They have to do this every 4 hours. So sien… Breakfast came and again, it was porridge and two slices of bread with strawberry jam similar to the day before. 9am, 10am, 11am, 12pm… still no sign of my doctor. Lunch came, porridge again!! Arrrggghhhh!! Believe me, I won’t be eating porridge for a long time!

After lunch, the doctor showed up. Told her I was waiting for her since yesterday as I wanted to be discharged. She said all the papers have been prepared for my discharge. I was fuming made and I could have been home sleeping in my own bed last night!! She apologize for the misunderstanding and will redo my documents for my discharge. She felt guilty for the mistake and given me medical leave until end of the week.

I got out of the hospital around 2pm and a friend came and took me for lunch. After lunch I went home and rested a while before heading to gym for BodyJam! Hahahaha… After class, I saw my god brother and go a little scolding from him as he was worried about what happened to me. So sweet of him. I then had dinner with him and his partner before heading home to sleep.
