Getting there, getting better - Episode 2

Continuation from Episode 1...

On 19th April, there was an interview session for MyBrain15, in which I really really had to attend. I went to University Malaya with my mom. I was not feeling well at that time too.I still couldn't eat and I'm very weak. We went back home afterward. However, on 21st April, again I went to Shah Alam to settle my new semester registration. This time I just flew there, I was throwing up and was feeling so sick.

swollen face and whatnot

Coming back home my condition kept getting worse, so mom forced me to go to the hospital. We went to KPJ Perdana Specialist in Kota Bharu, and oh boy, I was admitted for 4 days , 25th until 28th April.. Being the girl that has never been hospitalised before, I was feeling so down and unable to bear the boredness of being a patient. Through CT Scan, the doctors team found that there is a fibroid growing next to my reproductive system - on the right side, next to my ovary in the size of 28 weeks pregnancy or 9cm x 18cm or in size of around 2 kg baby. (can you imagine now?). The massive size has been pressuring the blood veins, the ureter and also the kidney.

Acute kidney failure - stage 2 on my right kidney, non functioning bladder due to obstructive nephropathy, Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) on both of my legs and many others obstructive related issues are among the reason I kept on vomiting. Dr. Anita instructed and planned carefully for my condition. She told me that she will perform an operation on me after we deal with the blood clot issue, the DVT. In which, it means that I have to inject myself, with anticoagulant - Clexane, twice- on my either thigh/arms/belly, daily for about three months. I was allowed to go home later on with a handful supply of Clexane.

Then the scary episode of me injecting myself began. I'm always afraid and it took me ages to mustered up my courage, every time I did it in the morning and in the evening. Though my condition was quite weak, but still an improvement from before. However the joy doesn't last long. Two weeks into anticoagulant treatment, my condition worsen once again. This time, I'm puking, I'm bleeding through my nose, more than the first time it happened, I'm basically dying- again.

On the 12th May 2018, I went to KPJ Perdana Specialist again. Dr. Ahmad examined me and was once again shocked! My blood pressure was so high, I have lung infection from my fever and coughing too much, and also the creatinine level in my body was 17++. Way over the limit for normal people which maximum of 150. That's why my used to be very sturdy and strong body just couldn't take it anymore. I was dying to be exact. Dr. Ahmad set me up for Ureteral stenting and nephrostomy procedure to help restore my urine flow and hopefully my kidney to normal function due to the obstruction. 

Later I was referred to my Ob-Gyn doctor, Dr. Anita, where she feels the need to rush my operation. To be continued.....
