The Naked Nose...

Woke up 6am today and prepared myself to go to SGH to see a specialist.. Why?? Cos i wanna feel more special.. EH!!! Not funny..

I went to the ENT to see a specialist.. Its about my nose again.. Again becos i went there once before already.. and it was the same problem.. Nose bleed.. Only this time, my nose bleed wasnt that vicious..The last time it happened, WOA!! You couldnt imagine how much blood can be lost through a nose.. I would flood my pillow when i sleep at night, and when i wake up, is like waking up in a pool of blood.. No kidding! If i remember correctly, it was becos the skin inside my nose was raw, and abit of irritation would cause it to bleed already.. So took medication, use naval spray and it has settled down..

This time, i had bleeding at the back of my nose, and the thing is, the blood din flow down my nose, it flowed down my throat... So it was like i woke up one day last week, and i suddenly taste blood in my mouth, i looked into the mirror, i see blood at the back of my tongue.. Went to my family doc and found out its my nose that bleed.. Took medicine once and it stopped..

Suddenly! Last sat, i tasted blood again in my mouth.. so my mum made an appointment with her special friend who actually is a specialist to see a special someone, who is me..

I tot it was nothing big.. But unexpected things were about to unfold.. The doc saw the prob in my nose, if i am not wrong, some sensitive skin in my nose, thus the artery bleeds easy.. So i had to go through "THE SCOPE".. He told my mum, " i have to use "THE SCOPE" on him, cos of the blood.. And i dont like blood".. So do I... So do I..

So, he spray cocaine in my nose! Yes, cocaine.. Now im a drug user.. And it was FREAKING bitter.. cos it flowed down to my throat.. And the taste was HORRIBLE! It was to numb my nose.. "I've become so NUMB.. I cant feel (my nose) you there.." so that i wun feel " THE SCOPE" down my nose.. And i hated "THE SCOPE".. i dont think anyone likes a long "tentacle look-a-like" thingy down your nose and taking nude pics of your nose..

As he went down my nose, he realised, the bleeding wasnt the problem.. It was just an effect of the problems in my nose.. There were multiple problems in my nose.. I cant remember all, cos i prob dun recognise medical words.. But all i know is i have a small air passage cos of all those problems.. And the doc told my mum, cos of these, i tend to feel restless.. appear unmotivated and lazy.. Cos of the lack of oxygen.. And now i know why i so lazy and unmotivated already.. Everytime kanna say, eh dont lazy le.. HA! IN YOUR FACE!

But what the doc say is true.. I really can get quite tired easily.. And i really appear unmotivateed and lazy, cos i really feel tired.. Damm.. Those words coming out of the doc's mouth was like Jesus speaking.. Revelation man! haha.. So i had to go through some kind of skin test to find out what i am allergic to.. Cos the doc feels that something is making my nose like tat.. But unfortunately, i cant take it today cos i had taken the medicine my family doc gave me on sat, and for the skin test, i cannot consume that kind of medicine or the results will be biased..

Next, the doc put some, i believe, antiseptic in my nose.. He sprayed it on the cotton, and stuck it at my swelling area.. Den he "burn" my nose with silver nitrate and put some cream in my nose.. Yes! Cream in my nose.. I was like shit.. I cant believe i got cream in my nose.. It was to numb the pain from the "burning".. And my nose was really numb.. I felt like Michael Jackson.. A fake nose.. LOL!!!

So, the doc went through what was gonna happen to me.. Gave me medication and told me i need to go through a "Sleep Test"... You heard me right.. SLEEP TEST... Its to test if i can sleep.. .. EH! Not funny..

This is what will happen.. They bring the machine to my house... Pluck the wires onto me.. And den i go to sleep like every other night, only this time with wires on me.. And WALLAH!! The results will come out.. And i will know the seriousness of my condition and the doctor will assess if i need surgery! YES.. SURGERY!! Powerful right.. Small nose bleed lead to surgery.. BEST!! It is to remove some thing in my nose that blocks my air passage and endangers my nose.. Cant really remember.. I just remember the doc said, " it is very big.. I din suggest surgery the previous time?" Thanks man.. Last time could remove it liao, den wait till now..

Anyway, i am no stranger to surgery.. 2 surgeries so far.. Countless X-rays.. Like free liddat.. Couple of times at A&E.. One time in ambulance.. I tink my medical record speaks for itself there.. haha..

But one thing that worries me is the medical bill.. At least last time i surgery was when i young, my mum still can claim since she in the medical industry.. But now, i over the age limit liao.. Use "THE SCOPE" one time $100 plus liao.. Medicine $60 plus liao.. The sleep test, $250.. SIAN!! If my mum got no contacts in the medical industry ah.. worst liao la.. "THE SCOPE" was suppose to be $200 plus.. Sleep test $350.. But thank God for Medisave.. But Medisave also not forever.. Hiaz.. Just over a stupid nose.. Which i dun really use often.. Oh ya, in case you all dunno, my nose problem already started when i was small, and now only do i get the proper medical attention to it.. cos its a SPECIALIST.. So from small i already use my mouth to breath cos my nose already was blocked when i was small.. So you see la.. Never even use my nose much, only over there collect dirt inside.. KNN man.. haha..

Haha.. I can just imagine.. Healing service.. Den put your hand over the injured area.. I stuff my finger in nose.. Cos its inside my nose got prob wat.. While inside still can dig abit.. LOL!!
