Went for my checkup today at SGH. Seen my report and its good news. The cysts are not cancerous. My wound's ok too, so I'll just have to go back for another scan in 6 months time. And if everything's ok, I'll just have to do a follow-up checkup once every year. Since we will never know when the dermoid cyst will reappear again. All we can do is to do the checkup regularly and if it really appear again, we could do something about it i guess.

Before my checkup I went up to the ward to visit my dad. He's admitted again since last Thursday because of a bad stomachache and vomitting. We went to the polyclinic intially on thursday and after consultation with the doctor, he suggested we go to the hospistal because my dad might need a drip. So yea, we made our way there and a blood test and Xray of the tummy was done. His small intestine was bigger than normal from the Xray. After been admitted, the doctor came again and said that his small intestine is clotted. That explaines his bloated stomach and the bad stomachache. So they need to put a tube down through his nose all the way into the small intestine to suck up all the stuff in the small intestine. Then let the small intestine rest for a few days. He's also put on a drip.

Today, they finally removed the tube and the drip. So my dad could start eating. He started with soft low residue food that is much easier to digest, easy on the intestines first. So hopefully he could be discharged by tomorrow.

Lastly, the only thing i hate about going to the hospital is that we have to wear the mask inside the wards and clinic. And also the rigid visitors policy.


P.S. I have the urge to shift my blog to either wretch or pixnet. Hmm.. should I?
