For a few days toward the end of last week I could no longer eat anything as each time I did, I would develop severe pains. I began to get scared to eat anything despite being hungry. On Sunday morning Pate and Mafa arranged for my tap.
The experience this time in hospital was a little different. The intern on duty tried three times to extract the fluids but was unsuccessful. He then called for assistance. Another intern came in and managed after a couple of attempts. Two and a half litres of fluids were extracted before we returned home. I actually began eating while the tap was being done. Tulagi and Charmaine went to MHCC and bought me 3 different dishes to ensure I had something I would like to eat - they brought Indian, Singaporean and Chinese dishes.
Back at home for the next day I tussled with constipation and eventually needed a suppository to bring about total relief but that came after much pushing. I actually think I may have added some pressure back into my stomach with all the exertions.
Monday and Tuesday was spent in bed with some discomfort and pain. When I woke up on Wednesday morning I felt much stronger. However I had visitors and spent several hours sitting up. This took its toll on my body. By five o'clock I was able to have a bath and finally got into bed but that night was sleepless as I found the swelling in my thighs and pelvic area painful. Thursday was a much better day and although I had observed some pains after eating the pains were tolerable and I was able to get some periods of deep sleep.
