TUESDAY
Sweet little things. <3
That Tuesday, Babe was having chest pain and he looked more in pain then he would care to admit. We ended up just sharing his home cooked porridge instead of driving out to eat. (The porridge was yummy, and I will end up eating about 5 plates of it later on.) By that time I was already worrying whether I would be able to make it to Andra Uphill and told sis about the situation, since we are in the same group.
I insisted on driving him to the clinic instead of him driving himself. I didn't mind since it was still lunch time for us, but what I forgot was that the clinic will be closed temporarily for lunch break. Unfortunately, the doctor was ready only 20 mins after lunch break ends so we had to wait for quite some time. In that time, I was walking around the waiting area, reading posters on the wall like I usually do whenever I am at a clinic or hospital. I came across pneumonia and thought that the symptoms were quite like his, but I didn't say a word as I didn't want to impose that idea.
After some checks from the doctor, she suspected that he may be having a chest infection so she called the PJ branch and inform the doctor about his condition as he went to the PJ branch yesterday before his condition got worse. They confirmed that he needed an X-Ray to further sort things out and that we have to be there before 4PM. By that time it was already after 2:30.
She said there is a chance it might be pneumonia and that he can ask his Mom to meet him at the PJ clinic or just call her to inform. "There is no need to alarm anybody ya, just get the X-Ray done and we'll go from there," she said, which caused me alarm HAHA.
Again, I offered to drive (back and forth he insisted that he drive himself while I insisted that I drive him, again and again), and since my PM group has left for Andra Uphill, I had no way to go back home (I had no keys). Finally the offer was accepted for me to drive him back to PJ. Know that it was my first time and I used to have a fear of driving there because
1) PJ is kinda far in my standards.
2) I dislike roundabouts.
But because I was anxious about him getting to the clinic on time that I couldn't care less about braving traffic and all that. It is about time I face my fears anyway. On the way there I saw the KL Tower and I internally applauded myself for making it thus far.
We made it to the clinic after a long attempt to find a parking spot. I still think that if he had went by himself, he wouldn't have gotten to the clinic in time. Got X-Ray and consultation done and it's time to bring him back home.
Babe : You know the X-Ray guy keep asking me to close my mouth and then he asked me how heavy am I.
I had nothing except for my bag which I brought to uni with me and I was wearing contacts then so I was like omg how do I see without glasses after I take out my contacts?? I had to mentally prepare myself for this challenge lol. I ended up deciding to stay a night at his house so his Mom had to help me out by driving us to Guardian so that I could buy some disposable underwear. They so kindly lent me his sister's clothes too.
Throughout the night he was coughing so hard that I couldn't help but feel so sad. I think he didn't know I teared. At least I hope he doesn't. I slept on the floor that night with a comforter and it felt like I was going camping. Anybody else feels excited about these kind of stuff??
Also sometimes when he coughed and his chest hurt, he squeezed my hand and it felt like he was giving birth.
WEDNESDAY
I did my thesis using his laptop and God, were my eyes tired. I also couldn't see anyone's expressions or whether they were talking to me.
What? I can't hear you, my glasses are off.
Mom picked me up that night and fortunately for all of us, the next day was a public holiday. Thank God. It was my first time having Babe say so much "thank you" and "I appreciate what you did" to me. It was also my first time eating so many plates of the same porridge. #unstoppable
THURSDAY
Sis and I went on an improptu night shopping trip because we were both stressed out for individual reasons. By then I was feeling really anxious and restless because I couldn't sleep properly for days as I was waking up every few hours and having nightmares that I couldn't exactly remember. Babe wasn't able to be attended to in Assunta Hospital because the A&E was so full of people. At that time, his chest pain was still presiding.
I was able to purchase this lovely bag with the perfect size to put in a small bottle and a book. Since I don't usually find things that I'm drawn to, I was pretty happy about this steal. We sat by Symphony Walk and that night, the fountain was spectacular - it was like fireworks. I went home feeling better.
FRIDAY
Finally, Babe got into Sunway Medical Centre. Now to wish him all the best.
That few days, we didn't chat much as he needed lots of rest. Even walking gives him difficulty. I had lots of submission to work on that week so it didn't affect me so much that we weren't keeping in touch. Although when I'm resting, I do miss him even more than usual.
SATURDAY
He was in the HDU and visiting hours were short. I had decided to go for the 11AM - 1PM slot but then the doctor verified that he can be transferred to the normal ward so the visiting hours was the whole day!!
Babe in his sexyback attire and smelling like old and sick people.
Mom and sis dropped by to see him for a while. His ward was nearby the nursery so when we went in, we greeted him "congratulations on your baby!".
Well well well, won't you look at this lucky boy.
Can see Sunway Lagoon! Can see everything!
I ended up spending a half day with him and had my lunch from the Family Mart downstairs. Seriously, how luxurious can this hospital be? They even have Starbucks and Coffee Bean. And restaurants/cafes. The lobby feeling was like a rich airport lounge. Every time I stepped into the lobby, it felt like I have important matters to attend to.
He had salmon for lunch (!!) which of course I took advantage of. His sister came too. We kept saying that he's so lucky for having such a lavish meal. She brought some fruits and I had a huge strawberry.
He insisted I will want a photo of it.
That day, we watched a lot of cartoons and time passed by in a jiffy. I never knew I could still enjoy cartoons. What surprised me more was how into cartoons he was; he was like a child laughing at everything. Btw Disney Channel broadcasted a series of short Tsum Tsum clips that are so darn cute!!
We watched this episode and more. <3
When the Tsum Tsums sneeze, they produce multiples of themselves and Dumbo is always the photographer. All the time, I was thinking how nice and realistic the renders are, like look at the cucumbers.
SUNDAY
I stayed with him the whole day - I brought my laptop and everything I might need. FYP needed to get done as I was already behind my own schedule and was feeling bad for CY who was supposed to receive the character models for texturing.
Mom packed me breakfast!
His aunt and cousin visited him for a while and they brought more fruits. I ate a peach. The skin felt like velvet. It was interesting. The Lorax showed on Disney Channel and Babe watched the whole thing while I did my FYP. Just recently I was telling him about The Lorax and how I enjoyed the animation although I am pretty curious as to why The Lorax isn't more popular than it should be. The message inside the film was significant and very real.
After the show finished, he told me he teared at the end and thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
Happy boy lolol. Glad you're more energetic that day. No more sexyback.
Lunch date, my food from Family Mart again.
The mee siam wasn't good... I couldn't eat the veges because it tasted so metallic and the texture was soggy and limp... Noodles were the only okay thing. I also bought the iced cappuccino - my first time ordering drinks from Family Mart. It was not too bad but not great either. More watery and less sweet than I expected.
I liked the onigiri though I wished they had more flavours! I should scout for them in other outlets. Also I bought the ship chocolate, which is one of my favourite brands of chocolate~ It was on sale : 2 for RM10. Another steal.
The light brown one says blond chocolate so I googled it and apparently it's a type of chocolate with caramalized butter. I see I see.
Babe said that he hasn't properly walked in so long that when he returns to uni, he's going to suffer walking up the stairs. Old man.
THIS WEEK
Babe is finally discharged! He still have to come back for a check up next week and I hope he recovers well.
In these harrowing weeks, I have accomplished
1) Driving to and in PJ (using an unfamiliar car no less)
2) Sending someone to the clinic and overlooking them (#adulting)
3) Driving from Sunway to Cyberjaya (at night!)
4) Asking his Mom for help in buying disposable undies
5) Surviving 24 hours without my dear spectacles
Congratulations, me.
Happy CNY soon, peoples!
