Spinal Tap IV: Discharged

..., swiped from Leigh Righton on Flickr.

The ten days in KPJ Damansara were not pretty for SK.

1. Bad wardmate - the Indian woman watched Bollywood day and night at full blast and talked on the phone loudly. SK paid an extra MYR80 a night and upgraded herself to the single room.
2. Food was crappy and the portion was pathetic - tofu in porridge :(
3. Spinal leakage - her procedure had caused a leakage in her spinal membrane, so the pressure in her skull dropped, causing her brain to sag. And that caused a host of problems ranging from severe headaches, nausea and weird sensory perception. The whole time, she could not sit up or stand for long.

On Saturday morning, mum and I brought her breakfast and packed off most of her luggage because she was gonna be discharged later in the afternoon. After lunch, Lifebook came to pick her up and send her home. True to the usual sui-ness, Prudential's system was down and she could not settle her insurance claim. But she paid a deposit and left anyway. Heard that the car ride was quite a challenge for her. CK also went to her place to keep an eye on her. In the evening, I brought over all her stuff and had dinner with SK, CK and Lifebook. Although discharged, SK was still very much not herself. In fact, I felt that she was worse off. Tidur bukan. Baring bukan. Duduk bukan. Meniarap bukan. She kept on moaning in discomfort. Felt like sending her back to the hospital actually, but we just steeled ourselves and she pulled through.
