All I Gotta Do

So, as some of you already know (if you don't, where have you been, yo?!), I was stuck in the hospital on the eve of Chinese New Year. Pathetic, I know. But whatthehew... shit happens, eh? And you know, being hospitalized makes you do weird things. It makes you notice the little things you probably never would have noticed if you weren't stuck in a bed...




...all alone, in an almost-sterile room
for extended periods of time...




...stuck to a wheel-y pole that's attached
to a big-ass needle shoved up your vein.




-_-


The date I got admitted to the A&E (Accident & Emergency).


I noticed the tiny, pixelated man with a
drip on my second day there. Cute.


Needless to say, I was bored outta my mind. Thank God for Animal Planet and National Geographic (and a remote control), man. That one night at the hospital, I learned that dolphins have sex for fun and they focus more on foreplay rather than the sexual act itself, that elephants carry their babies for 22 months before giving birth while dogs carry their puppies for 54 days (more or less lah), and that female elephants sound 'I-am-ready-to-mate' cries that can be heard from 5km away when... well, when they're ready to mate. (Duh.)


TV is a wonderful thing and ASTRO
is God's gift to the hospitalized.


I could learn and fully concentrate on all that when I was administered Dextrose in saline. One dose every 24 hours ONLY. Child's play lah. I can take it.




That's not too bad, right?
Hand cannot drop off means ok already.


But when they administered the antibiotic, I almost died. Serious! Pain as hell, wei. My left arm swelled a little because it was administered so quickly! One dose in less than 15 minutes!!!




Every time I got a dose of this, my left arm turned cold – almost like a slightly chilled drink – while the rest of my body kept its regular temperature. Freaky. With some experimentation, I learnt that if I stroked my wrist, my left leg felt the chills. Haha. Weird. Now I know where my blood goes. =p Couldn't do much when it was painful, though. Moving my arm hurt cos of the needle that was inserted into the vein. Spoke to the nurse and all I was instructed to do was this.



Looks like E.T. waving goodbye, if you ask me.


-_-


Sad case. Anyways, was two good doses of Dextrose in saline and two uber-painful doses of killer antibiotic over the course of two days and a night (I think the latter killed every cell in me. -_-), and then went home to nurse my brutally stabbed and bruised hand.




Me no likes live bacteria.
Me no likes hospitals.
Me very no likes drip.


p/s: I didn't bathe or brush my teeth
when I was at the hospital. =p

You reminded me of my experience years ago with the drips.....you will feel the chilling sensation when the liquids flow into your vein.....and there was one time, the nurse inserted the needle into my artery....huh..can jump off the bed....

– Ya lor. Terrible hor. Haha. Can die wan man. And it hurt till my bones were painful. Like when old people feel the rain is coming... but in greater intensity.

I also always got problem with veins wan. They cannot find. Too fine. And when they cannot find and poke many many times, I get scared... and then it gets worse cos veins collapse when people are scared. Haha. Terrible lah.


ATTN: luxen
– Yeah! I was thinking that, too! Like the wicked aunty in Snow White who gave her the apple. Haha. But you ah... diaper summore. Haha.

Damn it, I got old aunty hands. -_-

I was admitted cos I couldn't stop purging. Live bacteria poisoning. Sounds glamour but it's just like terrible food poisoning that cannot end cos it's live bacteria that's breeding in my stomach and not just toxins. =)

the blood from your wrist don't go to your legs la. it goes to your heart, then to your lungs, then back to your heart - then go everywhere in your body (even back to the same arm).

I knew that dolphins have sex for fun. I even know that they sometimes even use the blowholes to...

I also know that there's this bug that is born pregnant. and in it's pregnant tummy, the unborn sons will mate with the unborn daughters and impregnate them. then the sons will die before even being born. the. the daughters will be born pregnant with their brothers' kids.

god, i love discovery channel

– But my leg felt cold!!! I got the chills there and not anywhere else! I know that biologically it goes to my heard but... there not cold also!

Yeah, I already knew that dolphins have sex for fun. Thought my readers would like some trivia though. Haha. BUT... I don't know about them blowholes. SHARE!!!

I miss Discovery channel lah. Me no haves no ASTRO in KL. =(

And that bug this is just sick lah. Sick.

Nature says okay to incest! And according to the lions (those males that don't own a prideful of lioneseses), it's okay to be gay too!

Anytime I hear anyone bash gays with the reason that "it's not natural" or "god din mean it to work that way"... I spring the lion example on them. males dogs regularly hump other males too. and there's this species of lizard that survives almost exclusively thru parthegenesis (making babies without guys). all they do is dry humping and voila!

about the blowhole... use ur imagination. all the got is dicks and no arms.

Pam Song said...

ATTN: k0k s3n w4i
– HAHA. Nature says... nicely put. Very nicely put. There are fishes that change sex when the male dies, too.

Male dogs hump everything. EVERYTHING. And dry humping is just lame. And weird.

Hmmm. I'd prefer a full description of the blowhole and its use, though. I'm sure that'd be much more interesting to me.

k0k s3n w4i said...

you're talking about clownfishes, no? how there's a hierarchy of alternating males and females. when any from the tribe dies, the fish a rank below it will change gender to take its place. and the fish below that will do the same... and the fish before that...

A whole family of transexuals! Eat that homophobes xD!

it's not really that exciting. they just plug the blowholes with their dolphin dongs. Oh, and dolphin regularly attempts to rape human swimmers! Not so cuddly now, eh? Bestiality exists in nature too.

Pam Song said...

– Hmmm. I don't know. Thought it was a fresh water fish, though. Can't remember.

Dolphins don't do that! They don't hump humans and... yuck with the blowholes.

You're scary when you talk animal sex, you know? Haha.

k0k s3n w4i said...

run a search for dolphin rape in google or youtube.

sorry to shatter ur "dolphins are so kiut" illusions :p

forgive my enthusiasm. try me with another natural history topic - you'll find me equally rabid.

Pam Song said...

ATTN: k0k s3n w4i
– Haha. Damn. You've done your dolphin research, haven't you? I thought normal boys watch regular porn. What you doing lah!????

And dolphins ARE cute. I like mermaids more though. =p

k0k s3n w4i said...

dolphins are interspecies rapists. not cute!

and they have blowhole sex!! that's like doing it up someone's nose... gives a whole new meaning to the phrase blowjob, huh?

I've outgrown porn, in general. just doesn't do anything for me any longer, unfortch

ming said...

WWAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHA

– Some people are into that kinda thing, you know? Hey, you've never tried it (HAVE YOU!?) so you won't know if you like it. You might. *grin*

HAHA. Blowhole sex. Haha. You totally ruined the imagery of it all for me.

Only people who've been into porn can outgrow it. You must have been a super collector. Edison Chen's got a friend in his time of need. =p


ATTN: ming
– You better be laughing at blowhole sex and not at me.
