last post was written in April 2016. fast forward its Feb 2017 already. Pheww
Lotsa things happened thou.. I m listing it down in chronological order..
May 2016 - A trip to Bulgaria with sista, more like a conference trip thou, but as usual I managed to go sight seeing albeit my swollen ankle
August 2016 - I finally underwent a surgery to replace the prosthesis due to another infection on the knee. they replaced it with a temporary implant, a molded one made of cement, a very light one thou.. I asked the surgeon, how long should I wear this, btw it was implanted inside the knee, and the surgeon said, until we confirm that you r free from infection and it may take up until 6 months.. and he told me again that you wont be walking without any crutches or knee brace, and at that time I have been thinking about all the lectures that i ll be missed and MCs etc..
anyway, how long they ll be giving mcs then?
so the first few weeks were tough enough.. wearing knee braces will actually limit your mobility. post op is another torturous moment. You can feel those "thing"rolling inside your knee, trying to adapt itself, and it hurt like........ that i have to move to various knee positions while wailing myself for hours. It did not help thou as the on call MOs did not give me any morphine, Instead they injected me with pethidine which did not even work on me. so after a painful nite, the surgeon came to check on my condition. he has already prescribed morphine for the post op, but the oncall MO dare to joke with me, asking me on the pain scale.. I told its beyond 10, but he said, i did not look like i was suffering, still can pray and talk... I ignored him then.
anyway... right after i was discharged i had to present a proposal at MOHE, so there i was struggling on a wheel chair while presenting the 'so called" proposal (seeking for sympathy as well lol hence the wheel chair.. too bad nobody noticed *sob sob")
(continue from previous draft yang dah berbulan ni)
fast forward a few months later.. after a few episodes of flare ups,,, uncountable counts to Ortho and RA follow ups.. here I am (switching to "too lazy to type mode" haha)
By the way I did not get the research grant from the shortlisted proposal presentation last August..
still looking for a new one.. (nangis balik pintu)..
eh dah le.. malas pulak nak type banyak2..
Sekian laporan yang tak semengah dari saya..
Till then ..
