Isolation

Just so damn bloody happy I am homed, sitting here, listening to radio and blogging.

Past 2 days I was isolated in the hosptal after taking my RAI, and boy it was killing me mentally.
And most of the time I was nausea and feeling hungry because......
I hated the hospital food, it has such a weird smell.
I figured it's the oil they use because it's in ALL their food, no matter lunch or dinner.
I only ate the fruits they gave and chuck the rest of the food into the bin, untouched.
I saw the girl (who was isolated with me cause we are both radioactive) forcing the food down, and the smell of it just makes me want to puke.
So everytime when she eats it, I will have the blanket over my head and wished she'll finish her meal soon.
Sighs I came home and Mom brought me dinner.
But whenever I think of the smell of the hospital food, my stomach churns and I lose my appetite.
Don't think don't think!

I can only probably eat Western now, because Chinese food (especially stir-fry meat and rice) just makes me feel so nausea..

Anyhoo, the RAI didn't give me any side effects.
Supposedly salivary glands will be swollen and have dry mouth but I am fine.
Supposedly you will puke but they gave us anti-nausea pills before that (but my nausea comes from the hospital food). I knew a lady in another room who puked :|

So after being locked up in the room and having the nurses avoid us like we are some deadly virus (there was a nurse who really SIAM-ed me when we were walking back to the room after drinking.)
the nurse came in at 6.15am and took my blood (AGAIN!) but she came in at a good time cause I was still quite drowsy so it didn't hurt that much :p
And did a scan. Had to lie down still and not move at all for 20 minutes. My legs were not straight and when the doctor showed me the X-ray I giggled a little cause I looked funny :p

I don't really understand the films and the doctor is a cover doctor as my in-charge was not available that day so he didn't explain much, just said it looks good for now because the thyroid tissues are in the 'normal' areas where they are suppose to be.
I just see dark spots in my salivary gland, neck, some in my intestines and one chunk at my anus/bladder (cause I haven't excrete them)
but they say need to get my blood test results back to have my 'tumor marker' known so have a better diagnosis.


Anyway I'm seeing my doctor (surgeon actually) next week and I shall ask him more.

Okay I am done here.
Just happy to be back.
But have to keep my distance away from pregnant ladies and children below 5 years old.
And wash my clothes seperately for the next 3 days.

Peiyi be good! It will be over soon.
