went back to the hospital last night. upon my arrival, the nurses told me that my medication wasn't available. Whatt??!! aiyyaa...why la didn't they call me first! called my mum right away to come back and pick me up. no point staying in the hospital if there's nothing to do, right? the hospital ran out of the antibiotic i was on, so dad went to a private hospital to purchase a couple of tablets for me. spent the night at home last night. woke up with a couple of mosquito bites, but it's better than spending another lonely night in the cold hospital room.
so early this morning i made my way back to the hospital. according to the doc, my x-ray shows much improvement from last week. official results for the lung biopsy came back negative (as always), however, it says that there are no traces of fungi, TB or leukemic infiltration. Alhamdulillah. doc also informed me that the results from my bone marrow trephine was excellent, there are no traces of granuloma (ok,what the hell did i just write??). We're still going for the spleen biopsy since i'm starting to feel some discomfort around that area. other than that, my protein level is rather low, so i need to work on that (a nice big steak, if my mum permits! hihi).
did nothing else in the hospital. yesterday's blood count results showed my haemoglobin count was 7.2 so they wanted to transfuse blood. i asked the nurse to repeat the test by taking a sample from my arm instead of from my neck line. a lot of times, blood sample taken from the neck line tend to be a bit diluted. since there was nothing else to do, i decided to go home. promised the nurses that i would call them in the evening to see if i need to come back to the hospital.
so...i just called the ward 5 minutes ago. the nurse informed me that my medication is still not available. my repeat blood test results came back, haemoglobin count 7.6. looks like i will have to get some blood transfused soon. but since i have to purchase a transfusion filter, the blood transfusion can't be done until tomorrow. the conclusion is, i get to spend another night at home!! yahooooo!!!
ok...i'm going to go find something else to do now. i've been staring at this monitor since i got back, chatting and watching Desperate Housewives (which is an awesome series, by the way).
babai!!
