Health check..

28th November, my appointment to go for MRI scan for my neck and upper back. I did one before for my lower back, two years ago. But still, it was a scary experience.

Early morning I woke up at 6.00am and went out like 6.45am for breakfast. After the nice prata, me, my sis and my mum set off to JB puteri hospital. We were late as there was a traffic jam! Omg! I was 15 minutes late but thank god I didn't get scold and no need to wait too long. Then I need to get change. The pants that the nurse gave me was too big, I tied till the max still like dropping! hahaha.. I think I am not too fat actually! hahaha.. then i was waiting outside the room to be call up to enter the Scary room. "Tay Khai Xin, sini!" OMG! I was damn nervous! She asked me who I came with, cuz the MRI scan might take around one hour! So I quickly informed my mum and sis. Thank god she brought DS with her and my mum can talk to phone. So i think they were not too bored. Inside the room, the nurse gave me some instructions. Firstly I need to scan my neck first. Then only my back. Each scanning might takes 30 minutes, If I accidentally moves, then might take extra 15 minutes. I was so scared cuz she said can't bring in any metal things inside. But how about my BRACES!!? hahaha.. She asked me whether can take off, I say no! Then she said let's try, but if you feel not comfortable must tell her immediately! I was praying hard for nothing happen! But I dun dare to open my mouth while I was "send in" to the Machine! Hahaha.. The nurse looks even more worried than me! hahaha..

Then start with the neck, she told me I can't swallow my saliva until the machine stop the sound. And it takes around 3 minutes! sigh! Human is really a weird animal man! Usually we dun feel like swallow the saliva while lying down. But now really feel the urge to swallow! I really tried very hard to tahan! Hahaha.. Keep thinking cannot swallow, cannot! Hahaha.. Finally, I dunno how long passed, the nurse said, well done I followed the instruction. (haha, like primary sch gal!) then it's my back turn, she said I can back to normal now just that dun move any inch! So, She sticked a Pill at my back as her "marker" and help me to wear something on my body. Forget to mention, the distance between my face and the machine was like only a few cm! So It was really scary! The room was cold like hell. and she keep trying to get the right position. My bladder was about to burst man! Hahaha.. So I keep telling myself, another 5 minutes, tahan tahan~ hahaha.. when it finally done, I ran out to get change and RUN TO THE TOILET! Hahahaha! I like the malay nurse, she is so kind. :)

Then after the comfortable toilet visit, I was sitting in front of the counter to take my beautiful "photo" I took just now! Hahaha.. "Tay Khai Xin" Finally, my turn, need to pay now. "Seribu empat ratus!" OMG! RM1400!!!!!!! For ONE HOUR MRI scan. I knew it was expensive, I wonder they will charge me as one part or double? In the end it's double! SHIT! But it's consider cheaper than Pantai hospital in Melaka, RM750!! OMG! I'm sorry to my daddy man! He is now in a situation like this and I still spend a lot of money! I felt so sorry to him. T.T

Then I took my MRI scan to the specialist again. He said overall is all right, no fracture, the bone condition is all right. Good! Phew~ I was relieved although that was what I predicted. "BUT!" Sigh~ there's always a BUT! The doctor said he dunno what's the actual cause that my back keep paining like hell, but as an X-ray specialist, he found out that my neck part, there's a very strange condition. He shown me that part, very upper part of my neck, he said my brain position is low. (well, I dunno how to explain, but it's something about the brain! The exact name is called Chiari Type I Malformation! haha~ Sounds scary huh!) Oh my god?! BRAIN!!? I was shocked like what!! He said the situation might be naturally born to be like that, or other factors. So he suggested me to go and consult a Neurosurgeon! OMG! It's getting more and more complicated now. I never tot of my back problem would link to my BRAIN? He suggested me to go for a brain check! See la! No wonder I'm so crazy and abnormal, cuz my brain is rosak(Spoilt!) HAHAHAHAHA!!

So I asked for some painkiller, and then went back home. Sigh~ the consultant fee and medicine cost me RM92!! I should be a doctor man~ Hahaha.. Then I went back and told my father I need to scan my brain, he was like ????? WHY? Hahahhaa.. So funny he looks! But I didn't tell my Ah mah la. I felt super sweet yesterday, cuz my mum said my brother called back! Hahah! He seldom call back. I think like once or twice since he go to Australia. My mum told him would take me for the check up so he called back and ask and was surprise too! Hahaha... I love my brother~ :)

Then today, I really can't tahan so I go for Physiotherapy! Yeah! So happy! I like to go there~ Everyone treat me so well! ;) I took my "beautiful photo" and show my buddy! I told him the same thing and which part is the problematic part! My sis asked if there's a need to do the brain scan, he said if the specialist said that then might need to go for a check! and he said the Mahkota doctor that the specialist recommend is not good. So he searched for me and recommend me to go Singapore Hospital! OMG~ I can predict, A LOT MORE MONEY going to burn out~ Sigh~ I'm so so so sorry to my parents and family man. My buddy also said that that certain part really looks weird. So need to go for a check. While I was doing physiotherapy, I heard that my buddy was searching for this special name of the disease I suffered from. I dunno what's that, but he told my mum and sis, if need to operate, might need to cut out that little part of skull so that it won't block the brain!! OMG! and IT'S A BIG OPERATION! But not to worry first, cuz not sure I need to do that! and That's only the possibility only! But I was scared, really scared of that.

I dunno how much more money I need to burn this time. But I'm really so so sorry to my family and parents. Why can't I walk slowly that time? Why would I suffer from all these which cost a lot? Sigh~ All these things came at the very wrong timing. But it's ok, I guess it's not something very serious. So no need to worry too much for me, I will tell myself, be strong and it's not really something very big! Cuz everything haven't confirm yet! And I'm lucky Hee-haw according to Lexy what! So I will be fine! Just to release a bit stress here and now I felt much better now! :)

I will do so! Sleep as early as we can and have balance meal ok! Do not torture yourself just to save money! Even you got no money to eat, Hee-haw the ATM can always treat u, but not expensive one! Hahaha.. So, remember! take care ya! :)
