Im back. Wow, it's been a while I never jot something on my blog. It's not because I don't to, but I don't have internet connection in Tower A (My eldest brother's apartment). I was staying in his place since 21st of January until 27th of Febuary..1 months I guess. Im sick and Im on medical leave.
I never expected this will happend. The accident which was took place last December 2009 bring me into big trouble. Im half paralyse for almost 2 months and broke. I dont know how to pay my rental next month as I dont have salary anymore. God help me :(
Im having cervical disc spondylosis. The symptom for this sickness is numbness and weakness. I still remember the 1st time I suffer from this sickness...I couldn't sleep, I couldn't lay flat on my bed...I didn't sleep the whole night for almost 1 week. On the 4th of January, I went to work as usual. I felt the numbess on my left arms and body and sometimes my left leg crampt....I thought it was normal. So I just ignore it and keep doing my work.
I met my boss and she gave me some paperworks to be done. When I get back to my cubical, i switched on my desktop and started to do my paperworks. Something bad happend...for the 1st time I couldn't type...whenever I moved my fingers, I can feel electric runs all over my left arms and neck...It was really really paining. Im suffering doing my work so I stopped doing it.
4th and 5th January, I went to work as usual. I had a lot of paperworks still pending. Thanks god, that 2 days I was handling a meeting for Anugerah Inovasi which was conducted my MAMPU as well as Ministry of Finance. The meeting ran smoothly, but my arms cramp slowly so I told my boss and asked for her permission to let me go to hospital for check up.
On the 6th January, a friend of mine sent me to Sime Darby Medical Centre (SDMC) which was the nearest medical centre at my place. I straight went to see the Neurologist Specialist because the numbness that I felt is basically caused by the nerve problem (I suspected that). I met the specialist, his name is Dr. Sabri...very old man but very inteligent. His tested my reflexes by knocking all my joint. I took a needles and put on my fingers to test the sensation. The result was...my left reflexes pretty less compare to my right reflexes. He came out with a hypothesis that I might have Disc Spondylosis. In order to find out his hypothesis, he need to do a test. So, he admit me and run the MRI Scan.
I was admitted in SDMC on the 6th January 2010 at 7pm. Im kinda sad because nobody will look after my babies at home..Cumprang & Grey. Thanks God, a good friend of mine willing to look after them while Im away. Before I admitted, I went to Thong Hing Workshop to get my car back. They have repaired my car which was crashed during the accident. It takes a month for my car to be fully fix and I will never forget the hustle i've been through while my car was in the workshop. It's never been an easy things to do to catch a taxi in the morning. Dealing with the taxi driver's attitude was the most horrible situation I have to face. Thank God it all passed. I pray to God that this situation will not happend to me in the future anymore. I found out that, the best way to get a taxi is by calling the taxi service centre. They will come and pick u up and they will charge u according to the meter. Very efficient and very good.
About 1145pm, a nurse came to me with a wheel chair. He said "hello ladyia, r u ready for MRI Scan?'...and I replied " yeah...Im ready, r we going now?"..he replied.." yes ladyia, come i bring u. please sit on this wheel chair". I walked slowly on the wheel chair and the nurse push it until i reached the MRI room. I changed my cloths and lay on the machine. I couldn't lay flat, but i have to lay flat to do the MRI Scan. I keep moving inside the machine, as a result the MRI guy keep advice me not to move while the picture is taken...How can I not moving, my body crampt...It took almost 50 minutes Im in the machine. Only God knows how terrible i felt that moment...my asthma attack too while Im in the machine because i was really stress when the MRI guy asked me not to move.....huhhh....
Around 12:50am 7th January 2010, the nurse sent me back to the ward. I was given tramadol, lyrica, eprisone and some vitamins to recover my dead cell after the scan. I was a bit drowsy that night. I tried to sleep but keep waking up in the middle of the night. I couldn't sleep well.
The next morning, I woke up early at 7am. I took a warm shower and breakfast was served at 730am. At 8am, a basket of fruits was handed to me from someone. I ate all the fruits..it was delicious...Im loving it ;)
Around 12pm, Labs came to see me. He feed my babies at home before he came to see me. We had a chit chat and he stayed with me for a while. Thank u labs for ur company. I'll be so lonely without u.
After my MRI result came out, it was true that I had Cervical Disc Spondylosis. I was given a soft collar and 14 days Sick Leave before i was discharged. I was discharged on the 8th of January around 7pm. Labs sent me back home and helped me to carry all my stuffs. Cumprang and Grey were waiting for me and they were missing me so badly just the way I did. Ahh...i miss u guys....(ps: and I miss u too labs labs)
I couldnt sleep that night. I lay on the sofa until the next morning. The same thing happend to me until 14th of January. Then, I went to SDMC to make another check up because there seems no improvement at all. Mr. Sabri adviced me to do the physiotherapy, but since i am a government staff, he then write a referral letter to Hospital Putrajaya so that I can get free treatment.
Unforgettable incident happened while Im in hospital putrajaya. The stupid kelantan guy who took my record said to me that with my condition, it's not nessasary for me to be admitted. He's sucks so we fighted...I just feel like slapping him :(
Anyhow, when i met the orthopedic specialist in Hospital Putrajaya, she admitted me with no hesitation. I was admitted for 2 days and discharged with MC. I got back home and a friend of mine Ida came to company me. She treated me just like her sister. Thanks ida. While Ida away, Labs came and look after me.
On the 21st of Jan, I flew back to sabah. That was the first time i experienced sat on the wheel chair at the airport. I will never forget that experience.
So now Im here...still MC and still numbs with litte improvement...(ps: i can type now ;)
Gotta continue watch tv now..Yes Man at HBO. Nite nite blogger.
