i'm finally out and about again :) yipee yay yay.
just 3 short days into my long awaited freedom and being ever the clumsy clod, i slipped and hit my head. i will not go into details *glares at some relevant persons around here, haha but we were rushing in the rain and i fell and hit a step. super ouch la.
when we got under the shelter i was in a damn lot of pain but when i found out i was bleeding, that when all hell broke loose and i basically went hysterical. to make things worse the effect was compounded cos i was totally drenched in rainwater, so in my panic-addled mind, i convinced myself the amount of blood was as if i'd just been hit my a bus -_-
(haha trust me i'm the last person you'd wanna be stuck with in such situations. last time, when piercing our cartiledge was relatively unchartered territory, i went along with a friend to piece hers but ended up scaring her more than the intended plan of giving moral support. haha. i cant imagine what i'll be like next time when i give birth or soemthing. prob fret the whole room into panic attack. and totally piss them off with my crankiness. hahaha)
anyhoos, the ppl around were damn nice. or maybe they were just damn alarmed by my bawling hurrs. haha i still think the most bewildered was LLOYD the schnauzer :D he wanted to wait for an ambulance. actually that would've been a damn cool expereince cos i've never sat in one before. oh wells. we decided to take a cab after all but it was raining damn heavy so it was kinda hard flagging one down. in the end this malay guy helped us.. it was damn exciting. he ran on the road in the middle of the traffic rush at city hall like in the movies, which i thought was quite nice :)
at sgh, i think i succeeded in scaring the nurses with my crying cos we got thru the registration pretty fast :D
unfrotunately i couldnt bluff the doctor, obviously. haha when i asked him if i would lose my memory he laughed. at me. -_- eh i was in a state of shock la huh. haha.
i think if i hadnt been so scared (cut me some slack its the first time i'm getting stitches in my 20 years haha) i think it wouldve been alot funner. but. it was funny enough for us to get some pics tho :D
anyway when i found out i had to take a tetanus jab and get stitches the panic started again. of cos there was no escaping it and the doctor made that clear :(
the jab was not too bad but the stitches- the stitches i tell you, i cried all over again in the OT. although i think it was mostly out of fear hahaha. and the doctor i got was being damn patronizing and irritating la. ughs. he kept saying things like "oh lisa has like beautiful hair and we wont cut her beautiful hair would we nurse?" and at the same time i could HEAR him chopping my beautiful locks off (just for the record my haircut has been totally massacred and the worse part is, i cant cut my hair for the next 2 weeks. not in time for christmas. :( boohoo.). or stuff like "lisa is being such a big girl, very mature very mature" like he was talking to a kid!!
bleh.
well. i suppose theres not much you can say to someone whining and fussing around. scowl...
after that episode it was a week of hell with the mafan bandage and get this. i didnt wash my hair for a week cos of the stitches *beams. coming from someone who washes hair EVERYDAY this was absolute torture la.
(i have since washed my hair so no more bad jokes huh -_-)
amazingly after the first day the wound didnt hurt relatively as much, except when i touched the bruise i think. most of the discomfort came from the unglam hideous state i was in, and trying to keep my hair in a passable state :(
needless to say i was homebound for the week.
haha.
anyways. the stitches were just taken out :) :) went out straight away after that la even tho i wasnt supposed to. infection risk i guess but honestly, no more house arrest i'm gonna go crazy already.
*thanx for all the care and concern lovelies. the company as well as the lurrve on msn made my days at home all that more bearable *hugs. you guys make me laugh :) . sad to say some ppl actually liked my injured-chic look. haha err... thanx. i think.
i've got battle scars now! wanna see :D
mambo yday, the first since exams ended and the house arrest. ahhhh hols.
packed as hell, but loved it*
