April Shock! Part 5

Tweet

Ha He Hi Ho Hu! Yesterday Sorry for not logging in. Was admitted in the campus clinic whole day yesterday. I'll be writing a present tense one though the occasion was yesterday. 8.00am-9.30am Remember the skin below my eye that got 'sprinkled' by the oil? Well, it gets something coming out. First thought: Infection. So, I decided to go to the campus clinic since it is free. Probably not free since it may include in the fees, but at least I can get treatment and medications without paying more. Register at the reception, take pressure: normal. Ask to wait for a doctor's consultation. The doctor checks the skin below my right eye, gives some medical solution and dresses the wound. Waited at the pharmacy to take some eye ointment. They said this is an antibiotic. I said I am allergic to the antibiotic but they said it is okay because it's just for the skin and not consumable. My gut says no but I have to take it because I want to heal. 10.00am-11.45am Here's the funny part I take this time to go to the gym. But I just take exercise lightly, but at least I already exercise. I feel happy, then procced having lunch, then take a rest in the library before going home. 11.45am-1.00pm = Allergic Reaction I try the antibiotic since I need to know if it is suitable. After cleaning the wound with the medical solution, I gently apply the antibiotic to the skin. Not long. Really. In just 20-30 minutes, my eye above the wound is itchy. I scratch. Then it spreads to the other eye. Spreads to the left face, now down to my upper limb. I keep scratching. Since I don't have a mirror, I use my phone. I am shocked. My face is swollen!! I call the campus clinic to inform my condition, they ask me to get back there. 1.15pm-10pm The nurses in the registration are shocked. They admit me immediately to the same doctor who consulted my in the morning, and goes to the emergency campus ward. I can't feel my arms already. I think this is one of the painful injection I get since they inject through IV approach. I can see about 3 syringes.... The first injection is still bearable. Here's the second and third one, I don't care anymore, I scream because it is too painful. They said the medicine is concentrated, because they need to lower my allergic reaction+inflammation immediately since I can't feel anything except the pain from the medicine. Either the medicine causes drowsiness or I am too tired, but I pass out. About an hour later, the doctor woke me slowly while asking about my condition. I said, my heart is lighter. I still feel drowsy, that's all I can answer. Then I fell asleep back. I finally woke up around 7pm. The doctor checks me, and I can only nod. At least now my body and my chest are lighter. I don't even have the appetite. The doctor gives me medical certificate so I can rest today. But gosh, 3 injections really make me drowsy. Believe me or not, I still even feel the after-effect of the injections. When I type this, I just type slowly. I even sleep most of the time today. Apologies if my response in any of your posts is a bit weird to you. My head is still on the air after the 3 injections yesterday What an April shock! Well, at least I take care of my own health than the tenant I told you before Picture is mine. Kbye! Adie, April 2023.
