i had lots of appointment line up today, 3 sites visits and meeting with contractor and colleagues at another branch. i fall off the stairs at my second stop. yes, only second how to continue with the rest right.
well, its those all building where there is only staircase access and back door will lead you down by the spiral staircase. i miss a step and fall for a few steps down the stair with shoes flying off. my manager who was with me had a shock. i manage to stand up and continue though my left arm feels a bit pain and numb. i can't put it down straight but to support it in front of my chest with my right hand. despite the numbness and slight pain, i continue with my third site visit and lunch before heading back to see doctor.
i called my colleague from another office to accompany me to see doc cos i can't go alone carrying my laptop. we went to the gp opposite my another office but its closed. so we had to walk back to office to drop off my things and head down to another clinic.
i was given a referral letter and told to go hospital for x-ray immediately. we went back office to pick up my stuff, called the other colleagues that i'm supposed to meet and inform them of what to follow up. we went down to tan tock seng hospital cos its the nearest. i called darling up too and he will meet me there.
by the time we reach, queue and finally got my x-ray done, its almost 5pm. i was told there is no dislocation but a fracture on my left arm and need to be admitted. my very first reaction was, fracture only mah why need to admit. before i can get any clarification, that particular doc is handling an emergency case and i can't talk to him. the nurses also refuse to let me leave ttsh. it was till 7pm+ that i got to see the doc and he insisted that i admit for operation. he say my case is quite serious unless i'm an old lady if not, an operation is a miss. if i choose not to operate i will face more complications and problem in future.
i started crying knowing that i have no choice but to admit. i can't go back home then what will happen to my yu ze. ttsh is so crowded that they can't get me a bed in class b2 even till 11pm. in the end, i have to downgrade to class c. cos of the wait for a bed is so long and darling can't leave me alone cos i'm a cry baby, he had to call babysitter and leave yu ze there for the night.
darling was with me throughout till almost 1am after i fall asleep. he came back to see me the next day very early in the morning again. we only got to meet up with the doctor again around 11am to decide if i want to be in queue for operation or be discharged and come back again on friday. darling decided that i should queue and get it over and done with. i was finally being pushed in for the operations at around 6pm.
however, my operation didn't start till almost 745pm. they had numb my whole left hand so that i can't feel the pain and given me sedation so that i will be sleepy throughout the process. maybe the sedation got no effect on me, i can actually hear what is going on and complained about the pain. the doctor had to inject stronger painkiller in me so that i can't feel it. i was finally pushed back to my ward near 12 midnight. darling was so worried cos its supposed to be a minor operations and take only about 2 hours but i didn't return till 12 midnight. he told me he had called up the ward to look for me every hour from 9pm and the nurse just keep telling him i haven't come back. he went back to rest at around 2am again.
on thursday, the doc came and visit me and say everything is good and operation is very successful. he told me i can be discharge on fri after he check my wound. so i look at him with my poor thing and teary eyes and ask to discharge on thursday cos its yu ze's birthday. doc look at me and finally agreed. yeah!!! at least, i get to come home and be with yu ze on his very first birthday. we went straight to babysitter's place to fetch him from ttsh. i missed him a lot. though i can't carry him but seeing him is good enough. :)
i was crying on and off during my 3 days 2 night stay at ttsh cos there is no internet access, i can't go downstairs to walk around, simply got nothing to do. so i'm like a spoilt brat throwing temper and crying at darling, nurses and doc. cos of my 3 days 2 night stay at ttsh, yu ze also stay at babysitter's place for 2 nights.
