Dr Khoo bid goodbye and he seems very enthusiastic to operate me tomorrow.
Hubby and I then went to the administration department to do some paperwork. Over there, the staff asked about my medical history and penned it down. And I was asked to do a blood test.
It was a NIGHTMARE and I had to do it twice.
Here's the story:
The first doctor was a young sweet-looking female and had an "assistant" behind her. She asked, "
Hi Miss Lim, I'm Dr XX. Would you mind if my assistant - a medical student, draw your blood?"
I was baffled with both my eyes wide opened, "
Huh.. Can don't want? Because my blood is not easy to draw."
She understood and tied a rubber glove around my right arm. She poked my right forearm TWICE with the scary needle and NO blood was coming out no matter how hard she tried.
WAH LIAO EH.
Does she know what SHE is doing?
Still have the balls to ask me to let a medical student to draw my blood.
She panicked and asked the doctor next door for help.
Luckily, the more experienced male doctor used a velcro strip on my left arm and managed to drew a significant amount of blood on his first try.
After the blood test, I went to another room to do my paper for the check-in tomorrow. I chose to stay in A ward since the difference from the B ward is just a few hundred dollars. I get to have a toilet for my own use and Hubby will be able to stay overnight. Besides, both wards are just as expensive.
A ward - SGD6,000+
B ward - SGD5,000+
All in all, we spent a good 7 hours in the hospital. 70% of the time was spent waiting.

Hubby helped me to get my laxatives from the pharmacy. Yes, we need to get it on our own with the doctor's prescription. And it's really cheap! $3+ for 2 bottles.
The first bottle was taken while on our way to Jean Yip to cut Hubby's hair. It tasted like concentrated salt water. I had to drink it in 4 portion as it was wayyyyy too salty.
I stayed in the car to nap while Hubby went for his haircut.
After my nap, Hubby returned to the car with a fresh new look. :) By then, I wasn't feeling well... my tummy started to make some noise and I farted alot. I need to use the toilet badly!
Hubby drove like a mad man in the heavy traffic. I think he's afraid that I will poo in his car! Or my farts are driving him crazy. Hahaha...
Hubby took only 7 mins to reach home. Yeah!
Sitting on the toilet bowl sent a sense of relieve to my whole body. But my poo wasn't diarrhoea. It was water! But of course it wasn't as clear as water lah. You know.. it still has some shade of dirty orange?
Uhem..
Anyway... the water thingy continued for a couple of times until I left home for a dinner appointment at 7.30pm with my family + Hubby family.
I remembered that I had to take another laxatives at 7pm. So I took it in the car on the way to the dinner venue.
Really... It wasn't a really smart thing to do.
During the whole dinner, I went to the toilet until I had lost count. And towards the end I didn't eat anything at all, even a sip of the Chinese tea will send me to toilet.
The laxatives made me very thirsty and I had to drink tons of water. Which is not a good thing.. because I had to go to the toilet to let out all those water as well. :(
Technically, my late meal was a quick snack of Mac at 4pm just before my first bottle of laxatives. I was glad that I ate a Mac meal before the nightmare begins.
Also, I was instructed not to eat or drink anything after 12 midnight. Oh well.. I slept early. Thanks to all the trips to the toilet that made me so exhausted.
