One Night In The Observation Ward

Well...on monday morning i woke up with this discomfort in my tummy....woke as usual went for my shower...then felt a little dizzy so i took the towel and put it on my pillow and lay down for a little while....thought i was hungry so i went to the kitchen to get some bread...a glass of water...i took one bite of the bread and my head got all dizzy....so i cradled my head in my hands for a little while then started back to my room to lie down again...

Once i got out of the kitchen i saw dad who just came back so i said hi to him...that was pretty much the last thing i remembered...also i think i heard him calling my name as i went fainted....

Dad said he put me slowly to the floor..and as he tried to pick me up again...i was all stiff and in sort of a fit...when they finally got me up off the floor...he realized i totally lost control of my bodily functions....and motion was on the floor...which really scared him ...cos the drivers told us when my grandma died that...usually when the old ladies pass away...the pee comes out and it means they are dead...

i gradually woke up and realized i was on the sofa....tummy really hurt...and it was very very hot cos dad rubbed ointment all over me...i woke up and saw all the stuff on the floor..and thought it was rather funny actually...so did my sister....luen was really scared..she claims she's useless now cos she couldn't even call for an ambulance...

then luen accompanied me to the bathroom to wash up and prepare to go to thomson medical centre...the doctor there then referred us to the A&E of TTSH.....the doctors there then diagnosed it as "First Episode of Epilectic Seizures" but they still dont know what caused it i suspect.....i still have this intermittent tummy pain though...short and sharp lasts a few seconds each time...

so they put me in the observation ward for one night...cos they were afraid i'd have another one....and all was ok(cept for that tummy pain) and they discharged me this morning...

i got 5 days MC...lol
