Things I learned while doing NOTHING.

Well as you all know, I was admitted to hospital. Sheesshh.


I now know how my patients feel when they're left all alone. For a change, I walked in their shoes and experience what it feels. And let me tell you, it's not that nice at all.


Being in the hospital for 6 days was bad enough. But I was also put in isolation, which made things much more boring and worst for me. I wasn't allowed to go out and was treated as if I was a contagious freak. Which I wasn't!


Anyway, since I was insolated, I didn't really have many visitors just my mom and dad.


Most of my time, one of my parents would me there with me, so I wasn't that bored so to say.


However, the moment they leave, I'm left in my own world. The only entertainment I have is the magazines my mom brought me. Which can occupy approximately one hour and thirty minuets. Leaving me about 5 hours blank. Other entertainment is playing with cards. I can play soliter, the future telling game and free cell. This can occupy more of my time if I'm winning ofcourse. Who would wanna play if all are losses.:(


MUSIC is a big helper to my sanity. As you know, hospitals are known for their quiet place as it's a place for resting. I learnt that silence is not my friend at all. One postive side about being isolated was that I had my own room. Which meant I was able to do my normal routine like singing -lols-.


Anyway, Yeah that kept me sane for most of the time.


Lastly, my biggest entertainment of all. Looking out the window, it had the most spectaculas view. It's not what you're thinking, it's not a garden, it's not a pond or fountain. It was another part of the hospital. It was the hallway or something, many people would pass every minute. My fun there is seeing people pass by. It differs from doctors to nurses to patients to visitors to hospital caretakers.



Any-who: These entertainment techniques kept me occupied for some time. The rest of the time, i was left with my own thoughts. In there I learnt alot of things:



1. I don't care how many cup of tea they give me - I really won't drink it. They're so stereotypical kind of people. They think just because all people in Ireland is tea-LOVER

Well I am for a fact not a hot tea-LOVER. I am a cold ICE tea - LOVER.



2. Even if the stick a needle inside of me a hundred times, I will never get use to the pain at the start. It hurts ok - for me.



3. I have VERY VERY VERY low pain threshold.



4. I thought that there wasn't any food i wouldn't eat. But I guess i do. I hate irish vegetable such as brussel sprouts and their cabbage, it SMELLS :(



5. Doctors scare the HELL-OUT of me. I mean when I hear the door open my heart just starts beating fast. It doesn't even matter if it's the nurses or the cleaning staff or the catering entering I just get scared. Cos an open door means someone's here to say something or do some other test like get more blood.

For a fact: They injected the needle inside 10 times. 7 of those were for blood. Still not use to the pain.



6. I hate IV. It hurts. I hate it when they first put it in. I hate it when they have to give me my medicine through IV. It's a weird feeling. Plus, I hate the fact that i can smell my medicine after wards.

7. Morphine doesn't do anything good for me. [NOT EFFECTIVE ON ME ] :(

8. My sister never visited me. SHE DOESN'T LOVE ME. [drama ONLY!]

9. My YFC family is the best. I have never been part of a group which really cared for the other people. My YFC family visited me. Cheered me up.

10. Sushi bento is the best SUSHI i've tasted in Ireland. That for real. [TRY it - Sushi bento is found just infront of Epicurian and it's beside Bagel bar. I recommend it. 5 STARS ]

Anyway. I think thats all i learned while i was in hospital. That all i could remember it's been months now. A lot of things happen. I've learned a lot more new things. lols

Tata for now,
Kay
