Nightmare

I must have dozed off...

Someone was pulling my hand and trying to put on a band on my arm. I opened my eyes and saw a male nurse tugging my hand. "Sorry Ms, need to take your BP" he quipped. Why didn't they have female nurses doing this?! Felt kind of funny having a stranger touching you in the middle of nite..especially a man. "BP no good!" he commented.

I dozed off again...

And was woken by sharp pain shooting thru' my hand. Opened my eyes and found nurses/doc standing besides me. Doc explained: " Ms, we need to increase the flow of glucose as your BP is too low for comfort". I could not speak, just nodded feeling the fear now. Took out the hp and sms my hubby...told him to look for a nice woman so that she can take care of him and boys...if something happens to me. His reply: "siau ah!" haha...

Dare not close my eyes now...for fear i could not wake up. Started to observe around me...GOSH! Room was still so packed! One lady shouted for the nurse to off the lights, another said no as she is afraid of dark. Nurse was starting to feel agitated. I gave her a smile...telling her i understand how she felt. She came to me...and muttered softly" one want this, one want that...aiyoh".

Finally, lights were off. Only streams of it shoned in from the corridor... I was bedded right at the corner and got a good view of the traffic along the aisle. It felt like watching ER right before you!

Every other min, new bed trolley was pushed in. Everyone seems to be walking up and down the corridor...there were shouting, moaning...a lady shouted...to be let off...sounded wacko. Can see nurses pushing her onto the bed and strapping her. Real scary!

3am now...and i am still wide awake! How!? Could not get down from my bed, they have put up the rail for fear i tried to walk on my own. Kept telling me to buzz if i needed to go toilet. How to buzz for them when all seems so busy?!

The nite seems so long...
