My poor dear... =(((

David's been having severe abdominal pain for the past 3 days.

On the first day, he went to a 24-hr clinic at Clementi after midnight and the doctor told him that he probably ate something bad and there's a lotta gas in his stomach. Send him home with some medicine for his stomach. He went to sleep thinking that he'll be able to go to work the next day.

The next day, after he woke up and had his breakfast, the pain came back again and he went to Bt Gombak to see another doctor. Once again, the doctor told him that it was just gas and gave him more medicine. Fortunately, the doctor didn't rule out that there's a possibility of acute appendicitis, so he gave David a referral letter to A&E in case the pain worsens. He went home, took the medicine, spend most of the day lying in bed wif a hot pack and started feeling better. Once again, he went to bed, thinking that he'll be able to work the next morning.

This morning, when David woke up, the pain was back again, so he finally decided to go to SGH A&E. When the doctor saw him, at first he suspected that David was having constipation, so he got the nurse to give him a fleet enema, but it didn't help much. After tt, the doctor tried to let him have a suppository and see if he can pass any motion, but it still didn't help the pain. After spending around 3 hours in A&E, the doctor ordered blood investigations and X-rays, and finally diagnosed him with kidney stones. Gave him a jab of strong painkiller (Pethidine?) and a urology referral. Now he's resting at home.

Sigh... He's suffering so much and I'm so far away... I just feel like such a failure as his girlfriend. =((( Hope he gets well soon.

Thanks, all who showed concern.
