CT Scan (Computed Tomography Scan)

I finally had my CT Scan today !!!

T.T

Had to fast for 6 hours (which i quickly stuff my stomach with FOOD - dumpling, bread, Milo b4 2.30am),
and had to take 10 pills twice (10 hours b4 and 2 hours b4),
and couldn't drink much water,
duh,
why so ma ma fan fan one =.=

Barely slept (not due to nervousness, is played flash game till forgot time XD),
and had to wake up at 6.30am to take those idiot pills (which i turned them into serbuk~)
well, my mum literally shocked me out of bed =.=
then i just dozed on and off until 7 something in the morning.

Then my dad fetched me to the hospital,
registered, and cabut go eat breakfast and work dy =.=
left me waiting alone there (with lots of malay aunties and uncles).
I was like the only young chinese girl there T.T
I sat facing the 'bekalan farmasi wad',
watching the workers going in and out,
which later i gave up watching coz there's really NOTHING to watch.
(Leng zai? Go find in TV bah...the percentage of coming across a LENG ZAI in kuantan hosp is 0.000000%)
So i listened to my mp3 and started daydreaming.
Had to wait for a long time coz there were many patients and there's only ONE CT scanner.
and i just sat there thinking the painful-ness of the needle and the injection T.T
oooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
practically just scaring myself through the morning.
and the butterflies in my stomach just wouldn't stop flapping their wings around,
making my stomach real uncomfortable (perhaps i was really hungry) T.T

Then,
finally,
a nurse called my name,
and asked me to go to another wad,
to put the needle thingy in
T.T
then i had to let another guy do first coz he came b4 me.
The nurse see me so scared den said:

"relek la....tak sakit punya"

T.T
She poke ppl, not ppl poke her, of course TAK SAKIT la...
T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T
Then i told her i did the MRA b4, which is quite painful (it is 'quite', comparing with the antibiotic shots which are in the 'very' level)
and she said,

'tu MRI punya jarum halus jer...'

Then,
i jiu cold dy.
Meaning,
the needle which she was going to poke into my artery/vein is much thicker la
T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T
She almost scared the shit out of me T.T
Nevertheless, she is one of the better nurse.
Coz she is really soft-spoken and nice,
not like some of them which are garang-er than a tigress.
Well,
she held my hand and started looking for the artery/vein.
Then she kept on saying :

"Aiyo...u punya urat banyak halus la....susah nak cari o...."

T.T
I've been told that many times b4.
There was a nurse which poke my hand for many many times until i wanted to cry dy and still couldn't get it right,
finally my mum dun let her poke and a PRO doctor came and did it swiftly and professionally.
So,
the nurse kept looking at both of my hands,
looking for the 'urat',
in the mean time kept saying :

"Aiya..ah moi....u punya tangan banyak halus la...macam bayi punya tangan jer...."

=.=
Aiya nurse, just fast fast find the 'urat' and get it over with la T.T
finally, she settled with a 'urat' below my wrist.
Then, she starting the 'poking procesure',
which i turned my head away the entire time.
Then i saw the needle, vr vr vr long T.T

O M G

i so wanted to faint that time T.T
The nurse kept talking to me trying to 'relek' me.
Like usual, the poking sure got abit pain one la....
But it's seriously NOTHING compared to the real injection part.
Then she inject some kind of fluid in which had no feeling at all,
and taped the needle on my hand with tape.
Then finished with

"tengok...tak sakit kan?"

=.=
nurse ar nurse, i bukan takut kena cucuk oleh jarum la,
tu nanti punya injection yang paling scary T.T
Then she sent me back out to continue waiting,
which i had time to take pics of the needle poking into my artery/vein.
Well, u cant actually SEE the needle, just the plastic thing attached to it.
Then i just waited and waited.
I saw a malay guy, wearing a pair of 'GUCCI' shoes which has a metal tag that shouts GUCCI loudly, and a 'GUCCI' belt,
which i seriously doubted and still doubting the authenticity of them,
but when i later on discovered that he only drives a perodua MYVI,
there's no doubt at all.
Those 'GUCCI' things are definitely pirated one.

FINALLY,
they called my name and asked me to go in
(which at that point i was almost bored to death).
Then they asked me to changed into those very GREEN and thick robe
(which i until now, having to wear them so many times b4, i still have no idea which is front which is back and how to tie them up =.=)
Then i had to lie on this 'bed', and wait for the procedure to begin.
The CT scanner is different from the MRI.
It has a big hole in the middle.
They kinda like push u through the hole.
And the hole there has a thing keep on spinning one.
It's hard to explain by words =.=
Here is a picture of it, not the one in HTAA of course,
but the overall structure is the same.



Then i saw this tag there saying

"Warning, do not stare into laser beam."

I was like, what?
Laser beam?
Laser radiation?
What if i become blind?????
T.T
Oh well, i was just thinking too much XD

Then they connect a tube to the plastic thing on the needle for the injection of iodine.
After that they left me alone there T.T
oh, and this nurse or pagawai,
she asked me

"U understand malay? Coz later they gonna give instruction to u."

DUH
do i look like i dont know BM????
=.=
I'm not that stupid la zzzzzzzz...

And so began the scanning...
at first they just move me in and out in and out,
den,
suddenly,
one of them came in,
and started adjusting the needle and the plastic thing in my hand.

Then,
out of no warning,
the fluid,
suddenly,
just
SHOOT
into
my
artery
and
go
into
my
whole
body
blood
circulating
system.


W T F

Pain like mad.
That lady still said

"Tak sakit kan??"

....

wtf,

tak sakit??

Tak Sakit ?????

TAK SAKIT?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????



I almost give her die on the spot. T.T

T.T

TAK SAKIT???????

Tak sakit den she come do see see SAKIT anot.

They easy to say 'TAK SAKIT' coz they are not the one lying there waiting to be injected.

WTF

Tak sakit, kononnya.

T.T

Then, the iodine flow through my blood circulating system.
The fluid,
has a tingling cooling sensation.
I could feel it in every arteries and veins in my body T.T
But,
my body,
just kinda like,
heated up,
despite of the 'cooling sensation' of the iodine.
I felt real hot.
Like i was having a high fever.
I could almost feel that I'd turn very very RED.
T.T
Believe me,
it's VERY VERY VERY UNCOMFORTABLE to have foreign fluid flowing in your blood veins throughout your whole body.

Then,
after god knows how long,
finally,
the injection stopped.
T.T
I felt so very extremely relieved.
T.T
Then few mins later, they came in and told me finished dy.

LUCKILY they still know to apologise for making me so pain. T.T
and
i give them cold dao again.
One of them ask me

"You dah kahwin belum??"

T.T
I look like i dah kahwin ke??????
T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T
Vr sad and hurt T.T

Then they asked me to go to the wad again to cabut the needle.
I saw the nurse who poke the needle in and happily told her

"boleh cabut dah~"
XD

Then she sambil cabut sambil said:

"Aku pun tak suka tengok orang sakit punya...i pun tak mau buat orang sakit mar...aku pun takut sakit...."

=.=
Haihz...suan she got liong sam T.T
But she's very nice la~
As nice as the nurse i met at MRI department last time...
And so come the end of my CT Scan at HTAA.
They asked me to call again to get the films.
and I can finally go back~~~~~~~~

I was so tensed and scared whole morning that when it was over,
i felt so exhausted,
like i just ran a marathon.
T.T
All i wanted to do was to go to sleep and sleep till the next day.
But i had to go to piano lesson in the afternoon T.T

And i took 2 hours to finish this blog.
LOL...
Getting lazier and lazier XD

And these are the pics i took.

Before the scanning (with the needle):


a closer view, and yes, the red red thing in the plastic thing is BLOOD, MY blood.


The 'aftermath' of the scanning :





I know what i experienced is really nothing compared to other ppl.
But i just wan to write write WRITE...
At least to let those who never experienced it and don't have to experienced it for the time being to feel lucky not needed to go through it...

And so,
I'm
going
to
bed
now
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Muahahahahahahahahahahhahahaahha...
