Day 1 and 2 Pneumothorax

Day 1

Well, i know this post is suppose to be quite long ago... however, im just posting for you info. day 1 actually occur at 4 february 2010. it was a thursday. it was a Dosage Form Design Lab. i was doing the coating experiment for the tablets. i was pretty fine that time until almost 6pm which the experiment was about to end.

Suddenly, the pain from the left side occurs which is the same as the first occurance of the pneumothorax on august last year. however, the pain was much lesser compare to the first occurance. then i started to get rest and sit quietly in the lab. i told some of the members in the lab and the lab technician.

i was pretty fine after resting and the pain reduced. so i moved on and went back. i went for CG after that with prayer meeting and i was still playing guitar. however, the pain was very minor and on and off. so i just ignored the pain. however, the pain was lost after few hours later. i went back and everything was normal...

Day 2

then the next day the pain return. however, it was not as strong as the day before. i told my dad which so happen that he came for a meeting on day 1 in KL. so he told me that he would come to my place with Pastor Lim Soon Lee to bring me to HUKM for a check up. they came around 10am and i went to the hospital for checkup at around 12pm with a X-ray. my dad went back because he couldnt wait.

From the X-ray, i was diagnose with pneumothorax and the lungs was collapsed. so they moved me to the emergency ward with given oxygen. i was examine by few doctors and the specialist. however, they could not come out with any conclusion. so they say they would give me a observation for few days with oxygen. i cant go back because it was my recurrance within 6 months. i waited til 10pm until i was given a ward in the medical ward in 6F on the 6th floor..... ==" it was very terrible waiting and not knowing wat is going on and i have to stay in the hospital. i was quite frustrated and my dad had to stay back because of me.

so that was the first 2 days of pneumothorax...
