~I'm back!~

I was in the hospital since 27th til 29th.Just got back one hour ago..I thought the bone pinning operation would be a simple one,but man...I had to stay in the hospital..and lotsa procedures to be done..

The day before the fateful ski trip,we had 'nabe'(japan's steamboat)
There's the X-ray,the doctor bending my palm(OUCH!!!!!)to pull the bone back to its orginal place,then it was decided I really needed to pin the bone to make the bone grow..So off I went for AIDS and other virus checkup,blood check up..before entering the Operation room..Its exactly those we see on TV,the round glaring lights,the operation table..Worst still I got to witness my own operation,first they anesthethise my left arm poking at the vein on my left neck,it hurts like shit..

Then,the operation goes on after my arm went limp..I'll spare u guys the whole procedure..let's just say,its not very nice.. Killing time before eating..

(I actually wore a gown,a cap and was push into the operation theater in a wheel chair!!I hurt my hand,not legs!!!)
A short visit..
I saw how the pin was inserted into my palm from the direct X-ray screen,while I was half naked (still have my gown on but that's it)with a lot of sensor attached to my arms,legs and chest...(feel like a lab specimen being tested)Luckily I was really drowsy after not having enough rest since my ski trip so I was sub-conscious of everything too..

Ski..

After the operation,I was wheeled to my new room,one next to a window..And that night I had dripping yet I could eat like a normal person..The only thing was,my handphone battery was running low and I had a hard time telling Diem what to pack for my stay in the hospital,thank goodness Ling was still around..Sawada sensei was ever so kind to wait for me to finish my op before picking up my luggage and bring back to me.. Hostel covered with snow..

With a book to kill boredom and drowsiness=sleeping to kill time,I survived the stay in the hospital.The first night was tough cuz they had to check my blood pressure every 2hours or so,the 2nd night being my stomach discomfort having to eat too much at the ski place.. Snow flakes

Well,I had a wonderful suprise today in a sense that it snowed today!!!From the window of the hospital,on the 6th floor west wing,I saw the beauty of white snow covering the rooftops,field,cars etc..Just as I was about to get disappointed that the snow was a short one,it snowed again,with wind blowing hard..I could almost see the snow fairy dancing in the changing course of snow blown by the wind..I felt like I was inside a glass ball filled with snowflakes..I was elated in a way that in Suzuka,it hardly snows at all..I was lucky enough to witness one..(except for the man-made snow at the ski place,this is real!!falling from the sky!!!)

So erm,thanks for those wishes.Would really like to thank all the senseis who helped me at Takayama,Aina,Yen Ling,Kondo sensei who helped me the most by taking me for check ups before handing me to my own class teacher,sent me back too and intend to take me for disinfection this coming 31st.Ben and Jin for helping me with my luggage,Jin who accompanied me when others went for ski,Clement for helping me with the lunch tray,Soo for helping me dress and taking care of me before leaving to Taiwan,Diem for helping me pack and taking care of me from now onwards,Ling for packing,change bed with me on the double decker bed,cooked the porridge for me just now and worried about me so much,the nurse and doctors for taking care of me..and my friends who have mailed me or messaged me..thank you..

Before operation..

I realise I should be more careful from now on,cuz my own mistake should not be other's burden.See how many people helped me to get on with my should-have-been-easily-done routine???I'll try to do things myself as much as possible bearing in mind that I DO have to ask for help at times..4 to 6 weeks to recover..Oh my..

Erm,now I have a huge pin drilled into my swollen left palm with a hook facing upward poking out from my flesh.The pin will be removed on the 5th,I hope..At least my finger is no longer shorter than the rest..I just have to be careful from now on..Happy new year everyone..(imagine I managed this using only my right hand..hahaha..)
