Pain, be it physiological or emotional, nobody wants it! Well of course a masochist is an exception.
Yesterday, I felt the worst pain I had so far in my entire life...A very very unbearable stomach pain!
Hey! Even if it's just stomach pain! I'm telling you it's really painful. It's so painful that I cried. Well, I don't really cry easily and not in public. But, yesterday was totally another story!
The pain scale was 8, for crying out loud! (In the medical setting, patients who reported pain are asked for pain scale..."If you were to grade your pain, 10 being the highest , 1 being the lowest and 5 being tolerable, what would it be..." Like that...Hmmmm, A very IMPORTANT ASSESSMENT! Totally a must!)
Present Medical History: 1 year and 8 months prior to admission....
~ errr.... wait a second.... no more Nursing stuffs :P let's have a peaceful, simple blog here ^^,
Well, what I am trying to say is that, I started having stomach pains several months after I entered college, I think it was November or December 2009, basically because of stress and because I didn't change my eating habits from when I was in high school.
My hyperacidity becomes worse and worse now >.< I can't have sodas, coffee and tea, I should go slow with juices, milk,spicy and sour foods. I can't skip meals. And stress is a big contributing factor too, which in my case, is inevitable.
I was okay til I drank sodas this past few days, I think I have taken 3 bottles :P lol and then I went to a coffee shop yesterday and bought a choco frappuccino and I think that triggered my stomach pain yesterday. tsk tsk I forgot CAFFEINE!!!! >.<
at least now, I am OFFICIALLY and STRICTLY banned from milk, spicy foods, (yay! no more curry for me!), sour foods, sodas, juices, coffee, tea, by my doctor....well actually my cousin who is a doctor. :P awww...s[picy foods is fine, but others...?! where's the happiness in life? LOL
Nursing Diagnosis: Noncompliance
~grrr....stop this nursing stuffs suddenly popping out!!!!
So my lesson for yesterday: Be compliant! and follow what would be good for you! :P
Hmmm...while I was having pain, I realized that I should be more sensitive and caring for others especially in my line of work. It's really a bad feeling when you're in pain :( now I came to know the feeling more. What more those people who are receiving chemotherapies or those who just got out of the OR.
Hmmm...going home was very hard too... but when I saw the city lights. I thought, wow...even I'm in pain, the world still sure is beautiful... :) all the cars' headlights were gorgeous ^-^
That is, no matter how cruel or bad the world is to you, there are still so many things which makes this place BEAUTIFUL. It's up to YOUR EYES, will you be able to see the beauty amidst all cruelty and pain? ^-^
Pain is just a punishment or a consequence of something. Pain is also a test of faith, be it physical or emotional.
What the heck am I saying again :P Sorry...
Oh well...I don't believe I have readers anyway, nobody will know :P I just create blogs so I can release all the tension of my heart hahahahaha.... well said!
Nighty-night!
