It has been almost 2 weeks after my scoliosis correction operation. The day after the operation was so terrible that i wondered how did i survive through the 5 days i was in the hospital. The first few hours after the operation was a torture to my stomach. Although i was put on drip, i could feel the emptiness of my little stomach. The doctor only allowed me to take in fluid such as clear soup for dinner only. No Milo allowed. Hence, besides bearing the pain from the wound, i was tormented with no food intake. The morphine was useful in the beginning but the side effects were rather strong to begin with. In the middle of the night, i started to feel the itch and nausea effect from the morphine. i was determined not to use morphine anymore the following day but the pain was unbearable at times, i give myself another 4 doses. By the third day, i just told them to remove the morphine, i can manage the pain level now. My pain tolerance was of a certain level though. Kinda surprise myself. Nothing beats the soreness of the muscle and the stiffness of the metal rods in me.

I was as white as a whitepaper i presumed. Everyone who visited me commented that i looked very pale. When i was asked to sit up, that was terrible, my body was just sending signals to my brain that the metals were too heavy for me to take. During the first attempt, i failed. Immediately, my head was spinning very badly. After half an hour rest, then i managed to sit up in a chair for 45 minutes. The 45 minutes were my maximum. sort of forced myself to sustain. The little white pill was my savior the following day. i wanted so much to bathe so i forced myself to sit up and get out of bed. But i kept vomiting once i was sitting up. An anti vomit pill just did the trick and stopped all my nauseousness. I could even walk right after i bathed. Luckily, mr hee came in time to resolve my problem. 

Now i am recovering at home., limiting myself not to sit for 45 minutes ...
