It's good to be home.

I HAVE BEEN DISCHARGED.

Omg I cannot convey my happiness, so bloody ecstatic. After 6 days of hell in tan tock seng, I'm finally out of the place. Never ever want to stay in a ward ever again. Phew. Let me elaborate in whine-form:

1) Was suffering in discomfort the whole time, I hate the very thick pillows on the bed which are as hard as rock (PILLOWS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FLUFFY!) and my head slipped off them half the time. Those stupid pillows gave me headaches and neckaches. And the fact that I can't really walk well makes getting out of bed a tad difficult, so essentially I felt like I was chained to the bed the whole time.

2) All those sleepless nights were also due to the constant waking up at 2am to take medicine - last night I experienced that surreal subconscious state just when you're about to drift off to sleep (usually after staring wide-eyed at the ceiling for hours you suddenly blank and poof!) but this time I really felt my eyes beginning to shut and my mind swirling, AND JUST AT THIS MOMENT WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO FALL INTO DEEP SLEEP-
(someone taps me)

"Girl, take your antibiotics now, okay?"

Grrr. And I couldn't sleep for another one hour.

2) This may put off many people- this poor old lady in my ward who couldn't walk had to excrete (I'm trying to sound not crude here) literally in her bed (she used some device called a bedpan) Okay I can't bear to say more but since my bed was just beside hers, and the fact that I was confined there too, I had to endure half an hour in air-con (I repeat, AIR CON = rapid diffusion of smell) with noxious fumes lingering that nearly killed me. The smell was really, UNTOLERABLE. I had to stuff tissues in my nose.

3) No cable = no life. Yes my whole life revolves on cable and channel 5, 8 is so not appealing. Luckily internet on the third day saved me from impending boredom. And gossip girl/criminal minds on portable dvd was my solace.

4) I will puke my guts out if I ever I have to eat fish again (which I do actually, for two weeks for nutrient intake) and I literally ate fish for three meals everyday, until I resorted to eating wholemeal bread for some release.

but the nurses were incredibly, incredibly nice, some of them were really so sweet and caring that it really inspired me. Who knows? I might become a nurse someday.

I MISS EVERYONE LIKE CRAZY!
It sucks that my social life will have to disintegrate into scraps of crap since I have to stay at home to recuperate, but I'm guess I can no longer ignore the very conspicuous pile of homework on my tabe (which I keep casting furtive glances at but have absolutely no mood to start on) HOW THE HECK AM I GOING TO FINISH AMATH TYS?! I haven't even started on any chapter. But I guess I have to.
And I know not many people are very aware of the magnitude of the op, just to ensure nobody gets the shock of their life when they see me in school- I really look bad. really. I'll elaborate on this another time. Till then! Can't spend too much time on the net because I get disorinetated/giddy after long periods of time, cos my face's so inbalanced right now.
