The past 3 days were definitely the worst days in my life. I have never been so sick for a continuous span of 3 days, vomitted for almost 20 times over 2 days (Thank god the vomitting subsided on the 3rd day), and not eaten anything for 2 days in a row straight. Well, that was because my stomach practically reject anything that goes in, big or small, fluid or solid.
All this started on a Sunday afternoon when there was practically no doctors available unless you go to the 24 hours clinic kind or drag yourself to A&E at any of the hospitals. I got my dad to take me to the nearest clinic available at bedok but was stupid enough not to think of requesting the doctor to give me an injection. I ended up vomitting my medicine twice after attempting miserably to swallow them. I couldn't sleep at night as I kept waking up and continued vomitting my guts out several times throughout the night. It was terrible. I felt completely drained and exhausted. I almost wanted to rush to A&E in the middle of the night but my parents were already asleep and I didn't want to wake them up. I have practically no strength to drag my limp body up let alone go to A&E by myself. I had no choice but to wait miserably for the next morning and forcing myself to go to sleep.
The next morning finally arrived and mum took me to another clinic for injection. The doctor suspected food poisoning and gave me an injection and some medicine. When I told the doctor that the last few times I vomitted greenish liquid, he said that was actually bile since my stomach was already empty from all those vomitting. He told me I was seriously dehydrated and gave me oral salts for replenishment. When I reached home, I went to sleep while waiting for the injection to take effect so that I could take my medicine without vomitting. The first time round I managed to take my medicine successfully. The second time I took my medicine in the evening, I vomitted it out again. I slept until the next morning before taking my medicine again and some soup noodles (my first meal after 2 days). I felt slightly better but my stomach feels sore (or was it the emptiness?) and my body ached. I still felt drained of energy. It was absolutely a terrible time for me... :(
