ICU

Sooo ready to go home Thursday morning when things turned south at about 750 am.

I threw up and started to have massive pain on my back. 
Then apparently I texted Andi suru dia dtg. (Which I didnt remember).
He came right away, and found me in a fetal position curling and muntah lagi. 

Gw dah ga inget apa2, gw cuma samar2 inget there were so many docs and nurses around me. I realised from previous experience that I created a commossion again. It was a medCall. Emergency state where within seconds all the docs and (more senior) nurses will come to my rescue. 

My body shaked violently. I had rigors. I remember being sooo cold and thirsty. They didnt let me drink nor have blanket as apparently my body temp rose to 42°c.

I dont remember much, i think I was out for the most part. I remembered snippets, but not the actual event. 
I think I vomitted again.

Then they stabilised me, I remember having an argument about not wanting to put a cathether. But they had to. So they did. They need to measure the urine output. Coz you know what I got?? Yep! Another fucking SEPSIS!! 

They dont know how the bacteria sliooed into my bloodstream so quick. It's not from the arm surgery. I dont have fever at all since monday.... then suddenly on thursday morning this whole thing happened. Im a trully medical history!

Then they whisked me up to the ICU coz my blood pressure is so low. It was 65/49. A very dangerous range with sepsis in tow.

So this is day 3 in ICU. They found that the bacteria is a superbug. It's part of the ESBL family which is resistant to most antibiotics. So, not only I was in the ICU, but the put me in isolation. Pretty much my own room with ensuite bathroom. To avoid the rest vulnerable patients less exposed yo this superbug.

So I feel bad for making everybody kuatir.
Sigh.

ICU here is not as bad as I thought it'd be. It's not ad intimidating, not as noisy and not as scary. It's like having a personal nurse on my side all the time. 

And I had the most embarrassing moment. But more on that later... my head started spinning.

Bucket List

Yep. Been hearing a lot about people dropped dead suddenly. Mulai dari si Adjie Masaid, babenya si Joshua, then just now Emma's friend juga Dadaism died of heart attack. She was 29 years old, just got ,arrayed last October. Life is so fragile. That's why I really hate Andi each time I have to remind him over and over again about healthy lifestyle. Anyway, decided to make a bucket list for myself. 1. Back to NZ 2. Sky dive 3. Vacation to Russia 4. Having more than enough funds for Onya to pursue her degree in England, Oxford University preferably :) 5. Ngeliat Andi punya bodi keren 6. Buying a house for my parents 7. Karet tengsin dijual Hmmm....... Belon kepikiran yg lawn. Nanti di update lg deh

Lavender and Butterfly

My very first (and probably my last) tattoo. Why lavender ?  Because I love the smell.  I love the colour.  Lavender is pretty much the only plant that stays alive in my garden. It thrives in pretty much any weather with very little care. It lives with a big bunch of other lavenders but it can also lives on its own little bundle. It shows strength, and grace. Butterfly means beauty. Not just superficial beauty... but beauty after a storm. Beauty that was earned.  Like, after it went through struggles from a cocoon. Plus, you see butterfly (normally) in a great weather. Adds the beauty to the surroundings, like a balance in the universe.  Psalm 23:6 , is what I really resonate in my life.  That no matter what, no matter where, no matter how many bad decisions I’ve made.... God’s goodness and mercy is always with me. That I’m okay. That the God who made the universe loves me still.  That regardless how fucked up I am, His goodness and mercy is always wi...

A Wife's Heart

Postingan kali ini buat Andi. Feel so blessed beyond words punya suami kaya beliau. Walo banyak rese n nyebelinnya juga. He works really hard. I mean REALLY hard. I know I've complained about him being too busy, but lately he changed. Yes, dia masih sibuk banget di kantor. Yes, dia masih suka 'nyetrap' gw di mobil suru tunggu. Tapi I know that family is his top priority. The house is almost done. Andi spent hours last Sat and Sun buat bebersih rumah. Gw ga boleh ikut. "masih debuan banget" - gitu katanya. He knows Im allergic to dust and frankly, what can a pregnant woman possibly do? Ga mungkin juga kan gw ngangkat2 furniture. Naek tangga aja suka engap. Dapet laporan dari Otoy, Andi ngangkat2 barang ampe mukanya merah, ampe kringetan ngeces2... Gw tau dia pasti cape banget. Tapi begitu pulang he brought nothing but his big, warm smile. "Udah. Nanti gw sekali lagi kesana, finalize bersih2 - then you can come. Tuh gw beliin kelapa, mau diminum sekarang ga?...
