1.43 am of the morning of 23rd January 2007, I just could not shut my eyes.My left chest was beaming with spikes of pain.The swelling had become so bad that I have grown a breast on my left chest.
It all started 3 days back when the first stage of the swelling was visible. It did not hurt but the swelling was pretty bad so I had to visit a GP. Jokingly I told the GP "Doctor, I think I have breast cancer" when he asked what was wrong with me. He laughed and called me silly.It was nothing he said as it could be the swelling due to the flu that I have.He gave me some medication to reduce the swelling.No antibiotics were given then.
Over the weekends , the swelling did not go down.There were absences of pain but not as atrocious as Monday night.I just popped in pain killers to relieve the pain.It did not work very well.Came dawn , I was still trying to sleep with the pain spiking through my veins.Told my mum about my condition and I was sent to the specialist center at Taman Megah.As I waited I prayed that it was nothing serious and vowed not to make fun of conditions like this anymore.My name was called.The doctor checked me , explained to me that there is a growth which has become infectious.He did mention that it was not serious and there are cases such as mine.However , what shock me most is that I need to do a minor surgery right away to take the puss and whatever rubbish that was resides internally. I was utterly speechless in a state of shock.
Soon after, as I lied on the bed I keep thinking about how am I going to go through it.Doctor got ready and gave me a local anesthetic to reduce the pain.I closed my eyes as the stinging pain of the needle did hurt.Opening my eyes, looking at the scalpel that the doctor is holding really struck a lot of fear in me.I really wished I was put to sleep and see none of these.Blood was oozing out as the doctor cuts a small opening to drain out the puss and nonsense.Cleaning to wound and dressing it up.I was dazed and numb by everything I saw and felt.I thank God that He brought me through it.It was a nightmare.
I am still recovering from that minor surgery.I still feel the pain as the wound is taking sometime to close up as the it is being pressured by the puss which is oozing out.Pray that I would recover fast I cant stand sleeping on the bed the whole day and do nothing. I cant really do much vigorous movements until the wound has properly closed.Under medication and condition such as this I have been told to stay away from some really delicious food.
Thanks for all who prayed for me, sms and called me about my condition.I really appreciate it...
