29 June 2008 - Carotid Body Tumour recovery



Stayed in the hospital for 1 week, 2 days in ICU, coz i really cough very badly. the dr claimed that the water of whatever has gone to my lungs causing the phelgms and mucous all other problems.

I even had alot of plugs and milk pipe linked to my body, the feeling was devastated. i really can't feel good. Coughing and coughing non stopped.

Actually i even had sudden urge of dying straight away, maybe i was too depressed.Imagine like your body is in a mess and all the plugs stuck to your body, hands, wrist, vagina(for urinating), neck(for blood dripping), nose(oxygen supply) Like what's life has got for me. It's a total torment.

Day 2 @ ICU (saturday night no sleep) - cough, vommit non stopped.
Day 3 @ ICU (sunday night no sleep) - cough badly and vommit .

Just feel like doing nothing, terrible, can get up, just stay on bed and i can't eat . Canned Milk (Isocal) was delivered to my stomach using a pipe linked to the passage of my stomach.

Day 4 @ Ward = After restless (continuously no sleep!!! wide eye open!!!) 2 nights in ICU, i was finally wheeled to the normal patients Ward. From here i feel breathy (no oxygen supply, to breathe on my own) but not so intense as the ICU. but i feel terrribly hot and sticky, but can't bath. Cough and spit bloody phelgms.

Day 5 @ Ward = Finally had a hair wash on my own without any nurse assistance.(very brave), coz hair too itchy to tolerate.

Day 6 @ Ward = Rest and cough

Day 7 @ Ward = Going back home. After i reached home i can sleep for 6 hours. But was back home with the milk feeding isocal pipe. i need to learn how to feed myself for the rest of the 3 weeks!!! No food, cannot swallow at all,

Results after opt:
- cannot swallow
- vocal chord 1 side paralysis
- cannot speak well
- hoarse and breathy voice.
- coughing non stopped
- Left leg pain, thrombosis (from the grafting of veins)
- Sore throat (rubbing of feeding tube in throat
