Sick man of the east -- Part One

I have conveyed all your well-wishes to Clement. We are very, very appreciative of your friendship, well-wishes, moral support and prayers. It means a lot to us. MERCI.

Here's some pics to record this drama...

These 2 pics were taken last night when he was warded and waiting for his surgery. The man was in great pain and discomfort. He couldn't even slip on his slippers as he lost the psychomotor control of his right foot. The nurse and I needed to support him to the bathroom because he couldn't even walk properly.


He was much better today after the surgery. A suction pump was attached to his head to drain off the clot. He had to lie quite flat the whole day. In the end, his headache was ok but he suffered from backache due to lying in this position for many hours. Because he had to be confined to his bed and in a lying position, I need to feed him. He was definitely happy to have "lunch in bed" with a personal nurse attending to him. Sigh... poor me. I need to feed a baby at home and a big baby in the hospital.
That was the suction that was plugged into his head to drain off the clot. Spot his new punk hair style.

In the afternoon he was feeling ok. The headache was gone and the only discomfort was the tube attached to him. And of course the pressure of the suction. Look, he could still "siong" me for taking unglam photos of him.

At ard 8.45pm, there was a little scare. The fluid flowed backwards into his head and Clement experienced a lot of pain and discomfort. We quickly called for the nurse as he was told to call the nurses whenever he experienced headache and discomfort. The nurses couldn't help so they called for the doctor to assess the situation. I was quite worried when I saw the happy man in the afternoon transformed back to the sick man last night. The doctor said that the op was "minor" but not that "minor" because afterall it was a brain surgery. Anyway, the doctor pulled off the suction and stitched his wound while answering endless phonecalls at the same time. About 10mins later, the pain inside went away and he had to deal with the pain from the stitch. Thankfully, he was alright after another 10mins or so.

I left the hospital at 10pm and drove home with the help of the GPS. For the record, last night I drove home using the GPS too and I still made some wrong turns.=_=

He will need another scan on Friday to check on his progress. Meanwhile, his condition is stable and I thank you again, our dear friends, for keeping us in your thoughts. Thank you.
