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

Pippy

We have a new addition in the family. We adopted a Jack Russell from SPCA.  Kenapa anjing? Karena seumur idup gua, for as long as I can remember, gua selalu punya anjing. Bukan cuma sekedar "miara" loh, tapi yg bener2 part of the family.  Yg paling membekas itu tentu aja Piko ama Picca my last two dogs.  Kakah died when I was about 5 months pregnant with Onya. Jadi Onya sama sekali ga sempet ketemu my dogs.  Makin kesini gw makin yakin, kalo animals play an important role in kids life (at least di idup gw lah). They learn about responsibility, caring and most importantly compassion. I wanna give a chance buat Onya ngerasain apa yg gw rasain ke Piko n Kakah. The gift of unconditional friendship they gave... And how u learn to love them too.  Kenapa adopt? Karena saya ini agak2 idealis tapi realistis. I love animals. Dogs especially.  Idealis karena gw mau do the right thing YG GW BISA. Realistis karena, as much I want to.... Gw ga akan sanggup kl disuru jadi...

Another Random Post

It is perhaps a monumental probability that I've simply forgotten what has kept me here. Or evidently, what I have fought so hard for. What wind could be so strong, it banishes hundreds of acres of oaks, yet still ever so gentle enough to persuade even the most delicate of buds to move with, barely, an inch-long effort. My God, seeing kunyuk with that robe triggered something inside. I miss her. I know she'd worked soooo hard to be where she is now. I miss those moments. Though I must admit, maybe, just maybe... Im not running for the same dream anymore. The passion still there, ... it's just become a smaller part of me. Could I have waited this long, and demolished five full years of emotional barricade? Nah. I've walked too far to even think of steeping back. What faith could have, so morbidly, left my judgement impaired? The first scar may be the deepest, but a scar is a scar. ... and one left to bleed without stitches is bound to come undone. Tapi guess what? Im hea...
