No Holiday but ...

... an Acute Appendicitis.
I was admitted at Hospital Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah, Temerloh, on Sunday morning (14/2/2010) @ 1.00am and operated on 16/2/2010 @ 2.00am. Now out of Hospital since 17th Feb. The pain at the op site is still there, but now I can walk about at home. Maybe I can start working next week.
There goes all my plan for birding and all.
So, for now outing and photography have to be on hold.

intravenous drip Thanks to doctors and nurses at surgical ward Kenanga 8 & 7, for their hard work and dedication.

Thanks ALL for your support and kind words.
I was in pain for one day before seeking treatment at the local hospital on Saturday night. The Medical Officer diagnosed as Acute Appendicitis after running the blood and urine test. ((TWBC)Total white blood cell count was high at 16,000 and no red blood cell in the urine.). After an injection of Voltaren, the pain was relief. The Doctor discharge me with instruction not to take any thing by mouth (NBM), and need to be admitted if the pain recur. What a stubborn GP I was, I felt okey and working on Saturday for half day when the pain recurred.
The diagnosis really 'sinking' into me and I thought of admitting at the Private Hospital in Kuanatan. I injected myself with another dose of Voltaren, my wife and son took turn drove to Kuanatan (250km) that Sat evening only to knew that no surgeons were on duty at two Private Hosps. because of Chinese NY Holiday.
We had no choice but to turn back (120km) to Temerloh Goverment Hospital.
By the time an operation was done at about 2.00am on Tuesday, my Appendix was already perforated in 3 places. Luckily an omentum covered the pus from spreading to other part of peritoneum.
Now at 5th day, I feel fine and can photographed that Iora and Oriole from the bedroom. I'm still unsure about working this Monday.
Happy birding and stay healthy! ;)
