today's been a rather long day...in the clinic and at hospitals...so i guess i smell like medicine now...haha.
my bro's been down with appendicitis and is currently under operation, i guess till about 9 like that....poor little boy...he's only 10 and gotta go for surgery. my bro complained of tummyache on thurs, but we thought it was just some kind of normal tummyache like when u go shit, it'll be alright again. but...it continued till friday and my parents gotta come back from their honeymoon at some hotel on this tiny island at around 12mn to go bring him to some 24-hr clinic just because he couldn't slp all because of his tummyache. the doc thought that it was gastric flu so gave him an injection and some medicine. after sending my bro back home, they went back to the hotel.

it was kind of wierd that the pain persisted till today when he was given some kind of injection 2 days ago. yesterday, he started having high fever, diarrhea and also started throwing out everything he ate. so, after church we came home, that was abt 11.30am and brought him to the nearby clinic at pasir ris central, lily aw. before that, we just found out that it wasn't really a tummyache, but rather only the right side of his tummy was hurting, it was hurting so badly whenever he moved that he couldn't walk properly. the doctor at lily aw clinic then refer him to changi hospital cuz she suspected that he was down with appendicitis and needed surgery a.s.a.p. before the swollen appendix burst and it'll then make matters worse. she then wrote a referal letter and we sent him to changi general hospital to the A & E department. then they referred us to KK hospital cuz they couldn't do anything there cuz he was underage. so, we came back to pack he's bag and then left straight away to KK hospital.

there at the A & E department, they took his temperature and it was a whopping high of 39.6 degree celcius. they were 95% sure that he had appendicitis after taking blood test and needed to be warded straight away with surgery later on in the evening, which is now. he got an A room, which is a single room with his own bed, tv, 3 armchairs and a bathroom, lucky chap! but he was on drip so he couldn't move around. he was basically wheeld around on the wheelchair in both hospitals cuz it was kind of painful for him to move around. at KK hospital, he had to switch bed 2 times, 1st from the bed downstairs which he had been put on the drip to the bed in the ward (he had to be pushed out on the bed into the ward), then when it was time to be wheeled into the operation theatre, he had to switch from the ward bed to the operating bed to be wheeled in. he kind of find it real hard to change bed cuz it was too painful. so if it's just the appendix alone that the surgeons remove, he'll just be warded for around 3 days. if faeces are found in the appendix, it'll be more complicated and thus, needs to be warded for around 5 days, up to 7 days, then he'll be given an extra 1 week MC to recuperate at home...lucky chap!...and no pe for a mth. so...stayed in the hospital till about 7.30pm and came home after he was wheeled into the operating theatre, which was abt 30min ago.

come to think of it, i'll probably be in for an operation myself at the end of the year prob after my exams on my shoulder. as some of you guys know, my left shoulder has been bugging me since the end of 2002. i guess the joints are loose or some kind so it keeps cracking when i push it back and can be painful when it's tired. so, i'm trying to get a referral of some kind from the polyclinic and if it's a must, then i'll dig out my bone to feed the dogs...haha...just kiddin...prob they'll do some fixing then hope i'll be fine when my birthday comes in early january...so yah, hope my bro'll be alright.
