Yeah, i am finally getting discharged. It was really unbearable not being able to get off bed after the surgery.Totally harrowing to just lie in bed for 40 hrs, having body soreness, and not having shower....arghhhh my nightmare! Only get to sponge the body, least that is a gesture of humanity for me, appreciate that. The meals were great! Ha, menus to choose from. They have got Local delights, Western, Chinese, Vegetarian and Malay food. Food was not too oily, vegetables and fruits were fresh, not too bad. No wonder many of my friends recommended Mt Alvernia. The nurses were patient and mostly friendly and prompt to answer our needs. Once in a while, a sister would walked in and say hi.

Dad and bro came to help me get discharged. Settled bill of $8521.95 all in cash and $4400 were deducted from Medisave. Phew! that's a lot of money really. Bro got busy drawing money from ATM machines, using nets and credit cards...haha. Can imagine his multi-tasks look. Was wondering what if the patient does not have so much money to pay, what happens? Is there like an instalment plan? Or can delayed payment till insurance agency process paper work? Hmm...

Home Sweet Home! It so comfy to lie on my own bed once again. The knee brace...the first thing i can't wait to rid it off. Now my knee can breathe again, phew! Knee still swollen and has water retention in it. Quads feel like jelly. Bruises all over the left leg especially the back of my knee. Still not much pain, could feel the tight hamstring. The next few days was sleeping without my brace as i am not a kicker in my sleep..lol Elevated my legs while sleeping. A little discomfy but better than having the brace on my leg, made me itch.

Went for follow up on 14th Nov at Gleneagles. Doc said the surgery went well and that my semitendinosus tendon is small therefore he also taken gracilis tendon(next to semitendinosus tendon) to make a stronger ACL graft. He changed the dressing on my knee and i saw two incisions and a 2-3cm stitches (because of taking the other tendon, has to be bigger)...eeeee(in my heart, the wound - ugly leh). What to do, to be able to heal properly and play wholeheartedly is important, a little scar...ok lah.

The next visit to the doc will be on 23rd Nov.
