Ovarian Cysts Operation
Went IPPT ( Individual Physical Proficiency Test ) today. While our OC is doing a head count I seems to hear my phone ringing as it’s just in a paper bag not very far away behind me. Thought of ignoring the phone call but something inside me is calling me to pick up that call. So I just walk away and pick up my call while we have not fall out. I think re-service like us don’t bother.
Saw the number is from my home, first thing that comes to my mind is ( Shit, that Ovarian Cysts in her stomach must be causing her a lot of pain ). I pick up the call and my father in law immediately ask me if I can take leaves and come back immediately. I don’t know what happen until he pass the phone to my wife and she told me that she’s in great pain at her right Ovarian Cysts. Ask me to go back immediately and bring her to the hospital.
Immediately I ask my OC for permission. He called our PNS office immediately and fortunately I’m able to leave. I guess they are also family man so they understand. But I have to get a letter from the gyn to prove that I’m not lying ( Which is not a problem as I’m genuine case ).
I call my wife as I’m walking out and set to meet her in the hospital. I reach first as I’m much nearer. By the time she reach, the pain has already subdue greatly by itself and she’s still able to walk. Once the gyn arrive he wanted to take the thing out immediately. The gyn briefly explain what going to happen. He said he will try to use a technique call laparoscopic where he only need 3 key hole cut. If it’s not suitable then he will use another technique call laparotomy where a more serious operation which involves a much larger cut across the top of the pubic hairline. The nurse suggest that she rest in the hospital since the next available slot to the ops room is at 7pm. While waiting in the room I can feel the fear in my wife. She was so scare that her body temperature went up and feels like slight fever. Well there’s nothing I can do but just console her.
Time pass by soon. The nurse came and push her down to the ops room at 1830 hrs and I think she’s trying very hard to hide her fear. I thought of going home and bath but change my mind as I was told that the ops should finish in 1.5-2 hrs time. I calculate the time and predicted that she should return to her room by latest 21:00 hrs. although the visiting hour ends at 2100 hrs. I can just wait till I’m told to leaves. So I just took a walk around a nearby shopping mall and went back to wait as I’m also quite worried too.
Her eldest brother came with her parent at 20:30 hrs. She came back nearly 9 but I see that she’s still in coma stage. Soon she woke up and we begin to talk and chit chat. I can see that she’s pale and weak. I have to wet her lips many time as she’s very thirsty but can’t drink or eat anything till next morning. My heart hurts to see her in a state like this. Tears nearly drop from the edge of my eyes.
As the Doc didn’t come to the ward, I couldn’t ask if there’s anything about our baby. So I think I just have to wait till next morning. Hopefully our baby is still around.
