I took 2 days off from school. I went to Mount. Alvernia Hospital to do a check up for my stomach. Because I been down with very bad gastric problem for coming 2 months le. Yesterday was consultation and today I went for a scan (last meal was 1830, 04 Aug 08). Hee. Oh well. The process was fun to me. Hee. I seriously enjoyed it.

I woke up at 0530 today, I bath, brush my teeth etc. Set off at 0615 (got to be there at 0700) from home and my dad drove me there and together with my mum. I got there and went to surgery centre. I registered and after that got push into the room at 0750.

WAITING.... WAITING.... WAITING... for my doctor to come.
While waiting for my doctor. I got to know these 2 nurses in the room and they kinda accompanied me. Damn funny loh!! One very blur (like sotong) and one very nice but kept cracking jokes. -Fainted- My doctor came at 0820 and then next moment, I dont know anything already. ZzzZzzZzz..

WOKE UP at 0855!! Im feeling very drowsy. Heehee. Then nurse called me to sleep LONGER!! Ha. Whatever! Then I sleep till 0945 and one nurse woke me up and pushed me to ultrasound room to scan my kidneys, liver and gallbladder too. After done with the scan, I got pushed back to my room and....... I CAN EAT LE!!! BUT PORRIDGE AGAIN!! SIAN! I been eating porridge for 1 week le. Pity me, please. Lol. Er... Actually I dont mind eating their porridge because I swear to you that their porridge is damn delicious. Yummy! "Can I have another bowl, please?" Kidding.

After finishing my food, I changed back to my clothes and waited for my report to come out. Waited for 20- 30mins and I got my report in my hands and head back to my doctor's clinic so that she could explain the details to me.

WAITING.... WAITING.... WAITING... for my doctor to finish with her patients. FINALLY!! It's my turn! Doc said that Im ok, only that my esophagus got infection and half of it is swollen (Im sorry. I couldnt manage to upload the pic, if not I can show you all) and all my acid juices are reversing inside which causes me to kept vomiting . One more thing, she said something damn profound. I swear I dont understand. She said she got some flesh out from my duodenum (I think so if Im not wrong. Sorry la. Im not doctor.) to do some observation for 24 hours to see whether will it change colour. If yes, then she got to remove all for me. If not, it mean that I just have to deal with my inflection only loh. Hahaha. I dont know when will it heals.

WARNING! (to everyone.)
Please do have proper meals from now. I used to skip breakfast all the time cos I dont have appetite in the morning. Even my lunch and dinner dont have a proper timing. I will eat whenever I like. At times, I even skip my lunch and combined it with dinner. All these times, I really neglected my esophagus's feeling. Im sorry. So you guys, please do take care of yourself, K? If not you got to bear this consequences.

Now I got to follow this....
