Angkara karpet dan kucing.

KPJ Ipoh Specialist Hospital.

Misi untuk discharged semalam gagal. Bukan main poyo lagi statement semalam. By hook or by crook konon..

Doc pun bijak kan.. aku duk tunggu la dia masuk.. dari pagi sampai kul 5pm aku tunggu, baru dia muncul. Kul 5pm nak discharge apa nye?

In fact, he wasn't happy looking at my mild improvement. "Your coughing was really really bad. I was outside, I could hear you. And you're still wheezing, your chest is still tight.. bla bla.. Even after getting the nebulizer, you're still getting the attacks."

"Err.. yea." Tak tahu nak cakap apa. Haha. Dengar je lah dia bebel sorang-sorang.

"I was wrong to reduce your dose. It's like pressing the accelerator you know, we can't just let it go. So when I reduced it, you got like ten attacks since your first admission. Three attacks are really bad enough, to be frank with you." 

Pergh.. perumpamaan apa dia pakai ni.. *angguk-angguk*

"So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do this off the books. Others don't get this kind of treatment. Your case is a bit different (because of my immune system disorder which makes me become too sensitive with the allergens around me)."

*angguk-angguk*

"In future, when you get attacks, please do not hesitate to come and see me. This is serious."

"I'm sorry but sometimes I can't tell how serious it is."

And.. he cut me.

"If you cannot finish one sentence without coughing, that's serious. If you walk down this way up to the counter and you're already panting, that's serious. This is the indicator for you to come to the hospital and for you to get admitted, do you get me?"

"Yea."

"If I ask you to go all the way up to the top level and walk back here, I'm very sure you're gonna get asthma."

Membebel lak dah.

"Your reading when we tested you with the peak flow meter is bad. Based on your height, weight and age, you should probably get at least 550."

*gulp*

"Almost all your results are 200 something. Let me tell you this. Below 300 is critical. 150, ICU terus."

(my worst reading is 200.. minus 50 is already ICU level?)

Pastu dia membebel-bebel guna medical terms on how my lungs and airways are affected, then he stopped. "I'm not giving you education here. It's important for you to read on asthma. Go google it."

"K.."

Tak habis lagi ni..

"You have to be cautious on what you're allergic to. Do you have cats at home? You do, right?"

*angguk-angguk sikit*

"So, it's either you move out, or the cats move out. You choose."

"Yea.. I'll think about it.." (wrong answer)

"You don't have any choice. Do you have carpets at home?"

*angguk-angguk* (mati la..)

"When you go back, you sniff the carpet and see whether you get asthma."

"Haha.." (nice joke. even the nurse laughed)

"I'm serious." (both of us stopped laughing instantly)

*angguk-angguk*

"Your room should look like this room. No carpet. And do you see any cats here?"

Gila perli tahap dewa katik dah ni..

"For now you're okay cause it's safe for you here. I don't want you to go back to your old environment and get exposed to all the allergens. There's no point."

Letih beb aku dengar dia ni bebel. Ni belum aku cerita detail lagi. Angguk-angguk je lah, buat-buat  semangat jitu nak berubah. Hahahaha.

Tapi ada satu part aku suka dengar dia cakap. I asked, "How about iced? Cold drinks? Can it trigger my asthma?"

"Sometimes yes, it can. But if you say that everytime you take cold drinks and cause you asthma, that's nonsense."

Yeaaahuu~~

So anyway, I'd like to thank to all my friends and family for all your prayers and warm wishes. Terima kasih banyak. Sangat menghargainya.

Cukup lah tiga kali aku masuk hospital. Tak sanggup dah. Gila sangap.

Pagi tadi, aku punya dripping needle dah tersumbat. Bila diorang inject masuk IV, membukit tangan aku. Sakit la gile. Terpaksa cabut. Yang kelakarnya, bila nurse nak insert jarum baru, dia duk belek tangan aku dekat 10 minit kot.. sampai sempat habis lah nebulizer aku tu.

"Awak ni tak minum air ek? Langsung tak timbul urat ni.."

Memang tak minum pun. Malas. Sampai hilang suara aku.

Last-last nurse tu give up. "Erm.. Nanti saya tanya kawan saya, kalau-kalau dia berani buat kan. Kalau tak, saya kena panggil doctor la."

Aku rasa nak tergelak siot. Tapi tahan je la. Nasib baik lah hari ni last day aku stay kat hospital tu. So doc kata cancel je lah bagi IV tu.. bagi oral je. Phew~

Tiada urat! Saya vampire. Yang ada asma.

I have 10 kinds of meds I need to take.. Steroid pun ada. Maka naik lah BP dan blood sugar aku.. Crap.
