Let me share to you about my experience in the past two weeks...

(Computers completely BUSTED last week, that's why I wasn't able to blog. And heavens, I wasn't busy for the entire week because of my community duty. I would have blogged everyday, but due to disappointing technicalities, I wasn't able to.
So here I am now, ready to
)

We had our enema and parenteral about two weeks ago. Last week was our very first hospital exposure.
Yep, I have a lot of things to share. :D

Enema:
It was something both funny and ticklish. The catheter was something that brought both embarrassment and fun. Really! When it was inserted, one could feel the whoosh, the weird feeling of something being pulled after the gushing rhythm of the soapy solution inside...

Injection: (done with distilled water instead of real meds)
Intradermal- they say it's the most painful injection among the three. But I didn't agree. Indeed it was painful, but it was tolerable. (I had fun scaring my classmates' wits out, since I was the very first female patient who experienced it. Heh heh.)
Subcutaneous- Aw, that was the real pain! it made my upper arm numb for more than an hour. The needle was not painful; the water was!
Intramuscular-Ouch! It gave me the creeps. Injected in my butt... i didn't walk properly for a couple of minutes.

Duty:
(I'll save this for a few more days. I'll finish this duty week first before going through the details.)
Char.
Hehe!

Happy Valentine's! I mean... Single Awareness Day!
:D

Now that the midterm week is finally done, everything has gone back to normal. The pace, the rush, the surprises and inevitable crazy going-on in school are back on full force. Our marks were just released. And dang, they're one big "Whoa!". One can't just believe what HAD gone in the past few weeks, in the past two months of the second semester. Like,
"hey, is this what I've got? What happened weeks ago...
What happened to me?"
The results made all of us decide to double, triple, quadruple our efforts. It wasn't what we expected; it wasn't what we wanted. I'm stressing WE here, coz all of us never thought about this, all of us couldn't fathom the idea of losing our grips all of a sudden, without knowing why. It's a hard drive, and the pressure is digging up once more, probably ready to swallow me us up... shoot.
But thank God we're still halfway. We still have time to catch up, to make up for all the things we neglected...
Waaaah, can't wait for enema to start! Really, the thought of having a catheter infiltrating your body is gross and exhilarating. But hey! It's a new chapter of our lives, the chapter that links us to what is real and to what is superficial. THIS will probably bridge the gap between the external realm of return demos and the internal dimension of the human body. Wahahaha. Maybe we would be able to say in the future:
"HA! Nakaya gani namo ang enema nga skin-deep. Makaya ra na nato ang uban uie. "
CHAR!

I'm a lil crazy girl, eh? I wonder what would become of me what this episode comes... and waaaah! That will be next week!

:D
