I am now blogging in a HOSPITAL. I'm not visiting someone, I AM THE ONE WHO GOT ADMITTED. very omg right.

Today is my 3rd day there :( And the doctor told me this morning that i need to stay for another night :((

So, what exactly happened.

Wednesday i woke up feeling the body burning, very heaty. I thought i didn't drink enough water, maybe it's just normal body heaty. So in the afternoon i took a bath and went to the library. Initial plan is to stay there until jap class which is 6pm. But at about 3sth, I felt so dizzy i couldn't take it any longer, went back to my room to catch some sleep. Woke up 45 mins later, felt the room spinning but dragged myself to jap lecture. Took panadol then surprisingly felt better. So gone through the whole lecture and went back to sleep. I noticed my swollen thumb as well but didn't bother much about it, thought it's some insect bite.

Then the next day the fever came down a little but the swelling got worse. My whole thumb is swelled to the MAX and the redness continues on up the arm. And it hurts. Went to the uni clinic after lecture but when i showed the doctor my swelling, she straightaway ask me to go to the hospital. So went to the A&E department, waited waited waited. Saw the doctor, took blood samples (3pokes ><), took the drip. Then the bad news came- i need to be admitted into the hospital. And that time, my phone battery died. But thank goodness i wrote down one contact of my friend's the day before. So that's my ONLY contact.

So called my friend to come over to get my room key, explained situation. I expected 1 to come, but 6 appeared. hahaa. Then i was wheeled up to the operating theatre. Had a few jabs of anaesthetic mainly at the thumb.
DOC:"I'll need to remove your nail."
ME:"Errr, do you really have to?"
DOC:"You can keep the nail..."
ME:*tinge of hope*
DOC:"But you will lose your thumb"
Bubble burst immediately. Fine, just remove my nail la.
So that's basically about my first surgery. I wrote this on my second or third day in the hospital. But was too lazy to finish up the story. This is only like half of the story. See when i got time maybe i'll update the second half. haha.
Btw, i got discharged already!!!!!!!!!
