So... MCD... Do you have any idea what it is? Yes , it is a disease named minimal change disease. A virus-like-bacteria that exist in your body or kidneys that absorb and leak out protein from your blood out of your body through the urine. And that's why your urine will have a very high concentration of protein. A very high protein content in urine can be known by using a urine test dip. Bubbles formed excessively also shows this.
And due to having this disease , I land up staying in the Sarawak General Hospital for 7 days and 6 nights. It wasn't nice to stay in other places other than my own , home sweet home. Plus , lights are off early at night at around 9p.m. And lights are on again early at 6.a.m. It's not very comfortable staying in a hospital. Every 4 hours , temperature checking , blood pressure checking by the nurses is done everyday. Imagine , every 4 hours means a couple of times daily. And that's irritating and frustrating. Being woken up when you slept just for the sake of getting one injections. Then another hour or two , the nurse woke me up to take medicines. Medicines have to be taken at right intervals , so that's my life there.
Food. Hospital food. Let me tell you about the food. In the morning at 8a.m. , plain porridge will be served. At noon 12pm , a lunch consist of white rice , a piece of chicken with various not-that-tasty recipe cooking each day, a soup with not that much flavour and a little less taste , less salt vegetable. It's healthy anyway.
At 6 in the morning , I'm given a new sets of prisoner-looking outfit (patient's clothes) It's green. It really look like what I see in tv.
Luckily I'm out of the hospital after one week. Home is just so sweet.
Anyway , I'm out of the hospital because the doctor says my protein rises a little in my blood and I will be fine. I'll just have to take steroids ( a type of drug to cure completely) some supplements for prevent abdoment pain , and some calcium for my bones. The side effects of steroid is gaining weight , appetide increase and more prone to infections in future. One thing I must say now , I want to thank God for healing me. And also all nice uncles , aunties and friends who care and visit me.
I'm also thankful to my parents and sisters. Their love is more abvious to me during this time.
Exodus 15 : 26 I AM the God that healeth thee.
Have a nice day. Bye. Till next time.
