16 May, 2007 The days of agony

Yesterday was a scary day for me, I had problems seeing when I woke up in the morning.O could hardly open my eyes due to the sunlight.My mum had to bring me to National University Hospital to see the specialist. People there keep looking at me.Even the nurses ask me questions like is it very painful,I had to say yes.The queue there was long but due to the circumstances of my case, the nurses let me see the doctor.The indian doctor examine my eye and I was referred to another indian specialist, she toled me that she need to refer me to the cornea specialist.A nurse came and brought me to see the specialist who is a chinese chap.He was friendly and he told me that he need to take a look at my eye.He shone some light into my left eye and he said that is some fungus on the top of the eye and I was lucky.He said that he will need to ask the lab to mix some eye portion for me and I need to send it to the pharmacy.I had to come back to the doctor's office after that as the portion will take about 1/2 an hour to blend.
There in the office he told me that he need to scrap the fungus from my eye and send it to the lab for some testing.When he asked me to sit down and put my chin on the instrument and look below,he opened up a blade and some plates,he put the blade close to my eye and started scraping the fungus out.It was really very painful.Than he told me that he will give me 3 days medical leave and I have to come back on Thursday for the appointment.As I left the room I thanked him for his help and he told me to be careful next time when I put contact lenses on or if there is some dirt in my eye, I need to rinse my eye.After I left to the counter,the bill came and you would not believe it.I had to pay S$151.26 and for the medication I had to pay S$14.16, wow......so expensive.I took a cab back home with my mum.
In the cab,mum asked me to get some lunch near our place.I agreed.Thank GOD I am able to open my eye slightly.I went and got some lunch and walked back with my mum.Every hour,I had to apply the 2 bottles of medication on my eye to kill the fungus from spreading.I slept most of the day as I was not able to look on the computer screen or watch tv as my eye was still painful to the light.Slept pretty early as I never really slept this early before.
Got up in the morning,mum had made some coffee for me.Than I went to my room to do my officer's computer as he had send it to me on Monday to my place to get it done for me.I realise that his hard disk is gonna crash soon as there is some bad sectors,so I backup all his files for him.I called him and told him to get me another SATA hard disk from Sim Lim and come over to my place.He will come later in the night.So now here I am just updating my blog for yesterday and today.I hope the guys in the office are able to handle the things that is going on.Hope the new guy is also getting on well enough.Ok will update more later in the day if I could see better.

CYA.
