The policy of patient discharge - The patient have to be wheeled out on a wheelchair.
I was surprise!!!
The nurse came in with the prepared paper work, gave me a few instructions on what to do, just in case the stone decides to "pop-out" by itself. She was so cute, kept asking me not to forget to BREATH when i'm in alot of pain, she said "When you're in so much pain, remember me telling to BREATHHHHH", everytime she left my room, she giggle, imagine a white lady, lil over size walking out giggling! hehe. Then she told that i need to be taken to my car in a wheelchair, i thought she was joking haha, "c'mon, don't refuse your free ride out of here!" - and so the transporter came in with a wheelchair, he was a funny guy. Even had a picture taken of me on the wheelchair with the transporter. Left the room and i was greeted by a few people, the server(meals) some nurse who've attended to me and the two doctors as well.
As i was waiting for the car to arrive, all the other patients around me were much much older than me, with walking sticks, one even on a wheelchair, they all were also waiting for their car to arrive, but they were the drivers! I'm talking about those old folks walking very slowly towards their car to drive them self back home. I on the other hand, young (kinda) on a wheelchair having my dad send me home.....oh i felt shy haha, just a bit i might add =Ppp
Asian old folks will probably just sit home, goyang kaki and watch TV!
You have no idea what this old people are capable of....ONLY IN THE US, you'll see old folks, both group and individual, driving luxurious cars around town whoooooooooohhhh, damn they HOT!
Anyway, went back to the doctors office today to comfirm the location of the stone, preparation of tomorrow's surgery/treatment. First i went for a ultrasonic, boy did i feel like a pregnant women hehe, but the stone was no where to be found, so i was given further instructions to go for another CAT scan, and after that i was told to go to get X-Rays too?! Whoooosss 3 scans a day, are my sells dead yet!!?
Just so happen they had a fire drill at 10am, those fire alarm were kinda annoying, and the blinking alarms as well. But i was in the middle of scanning so i was told to just go ahead with my scan, hence the label - Active patient.....suddenly the whole place turn so quiet.
10 more minutes and i'll have to start my fasting before i walk in the the hospital at 5am, surgery at 7/8 and i'll be done by 10am latest. See ya then!!

Home....is where i'm heading off in a while
When i said Home, i mean my Apt in LA, since my parents are here visiting and i have both my sisters as well, one happy family, hence the term "Home"!!!
Doc came in when i was doing an online survey after lunch, he said he's spoken to my main doctor and i was given the green light to head on home! Finally get to leave this hospital after waiting for 3 days since i was admitted to the ER.
I have to admit though, i actually enjoyed myself here in the hospital, apart from the often visit to the loo, the food is good, the nurses are nice and friendly, both female and mail nurse, the Doctors are great, they explain to me this and that, just the waiting that was the killer. One of my close friend even ask if the nurses are in short sexy skirt after i told here there are some good looking doctors and male nurses haha.
No to mention my GOOD neighbour, haven't met him, just hear his voice from early morning to early evenings, i'm talking about 5am till 9pm.....apparently he is a regular, i still remember one server came in with my lunch and said, you've got a crazy neighbour - in a good way haha.
On my last bag of drip now, halfway through, just waiting for my doctor to get some paper work ready and prescribe me some medication before my outpatient treatment this coming Friday morning. Already told my family about this but i'm still in my sexy-arse-hospital outfit haha.....Home it is....
p/s : there WILL be pictures of the place, the food, and sadly no pictures of good looking doctors or male nurses, sorry ladies! =P

ERrrrrrrr
Well my fellow readers.....(like i have fans =P), this is my first time staying over at a Hospital, apparently its a private hospital, didn't know, but it was under my insurance policy and it's near, so why not!
Drove myself to the ER once again, this time the pain was worst then my first visit to the same ER a month ago, according to the doctor, usually patients would be screaming in pain, that's why he was surprise that i'm still able to smile and chat along while in this stage or pain.
I had a much better PR nurse attend to me this time, was in the ER for 4 hours, had to drink some fluid an hour before i went for a CAT scan, my doctor just wanted to make sure this is not appendix, hence the CAT scan. turns out, i have a kidney stone, 5mm, heading towards my bladder. So by tomorrow morning, i'll be able to meet up with a Urologist to talk further and see what's next.
I think it's 4am now, on my 4rd bag of drip, feel like vomiting again.....shucksssss
Urgently signing off!! =(
