090117 Day 3 At The Hospital


The night before I hadn't had much sleep too no thanks to my wardmate's super loud snoring! OMG she snores like a hippo and I am not joking. I bet even the ward next door can hear it. Since she woke me up at with her snoring 3am in the morning, I switched on my table light so that I'm not wide awake in the dark. And eh, she stopped snoring. I guessed she couldn't sleep with the light on because the table light actually brightened the whole room. Since she had stopped snoring, I slept peacefully with the lights on throughout the night. Damn she must have hated me.

I was woken up by the nurse at about 5am because she wanna take out the urine tube from my vagina. And the process wasn't as painful as I thought it would be too. I wonder if it's because of the painkiller effect? Not long after that another nurse brought my boy boy over for me to breastfeed him.

After that, I spent the whole morning staring at the wall. And at about 7am, I tried to get up from my bed and walked to the toilet. Oh man, it was very very painful at the operation wound. Went to the toilet to change my paddings and I dared not try to pee because I was afraid of pain so I dared not drink any water that morning.

Not long after that, Dr Lai, which is my boyboy's doctor came to tell me that my boyboy had jaundice and he needs to further check to see how serious it is. Upon hearing that, my heart sank. I was so scared and worried eventhough I knew very well that most infants have jaundice and it is very normal.

When I was about to get out from my bed to go to the nursery to see my little precious, my father in law came. We had a little chit chat and I almost cried when I told him that boy boy had jaundice. When they left, I walked immediately to the nursery and stood there just to make sure that my boy boy is alright. After standing there for about 20 minutes, a nurse came and ushered me to my bed saying that I shouldn't stand for too long and the doctor is on the way coming to do some checkup on me before I discharge from the hospital.

After the doctor had done checking my wound, etc, I slept on my bed worrying about boyboy's condition. And when I saw my mom, I couldn't help but cried while telling her about it. And when Fire came, he consoled me that everything is gonna be okay and told me jokes so that I stopped crying.

Fire then went to settle the bills while I changed myself to my own clothes preparing to discharge. And the bills amounted a massive RM 5,400-00!!!! *sigh*

After Fire ate the lunch served by the nurse, we went to bring our little precious home. I was relieved to find out that the jaundice was minor. The nurse taught me how to change, how to feed him but I think only 20% of what she said went into my brain because I'm focusing on my boyboy and I can't wait to bring him home.

On our way to the elevator, one of the staff brought me a wheelchair because I still can't walk much. And that was the first time I sat on a wheelchair. Half way to the elevator, I was stopped by a nurse. She asked, "Have you tried to urinate?" And I sheepishly told her no I didn't. And she shoo-ed me to the toilet to try urinating just in case I have any problem doing it. And how was I glad when I have no problem peepee-ing at all. Nobody knew how happy I was at that time. Rofl~

So that was my last day at the hospital.

My say about the hospital:

The doctors, nurses and services in Pantai Cheras Medical Centre (PCMC), as I said are excellent compared to many other private hospitals (from what I heard). They really cared and will do everything (to the extend of cleaning your private part!!!) to make sure that you are comfortable staying there. If you have any uncomfortableness, you can just ring the bell and they will come to you ASAP, normally within 1 minute. And most of them are really really helpful and friendly.

They'll take the initiative to help you, like what one of the staff did by bringing me the wheelchair and pushed me from the elevators to the lobby and to the car.

The foods served was not bad although it tasted a bit bland bu what do you expect from a hospital eh?

The only thing that I hated was the noises made by the visitors and no one seem to do anything to keep them quiet.

Overall, I wouldn;t mind going back there again for baby no.2!

Kakak, your story throughout really touched my heart :D
And it's lovely that you recorded down the whole birth-giving, worrying, process- makes us all realize how much our mothers worry about us uh?

I can relate to the jaundice part. Mummy told me I have jaundice for 3 weeks when I was born. And I was 3 weeks prematured as well. So she went home discharged from the hospital without me.

Dad told me she cried.
So I guess I know how you feel.
Thank God it's minor!

Love you kakak :D take care of yourself!
