Hospitalised!!!!

Not me but Hubby. I woke up in the morning and found him missing. I looked around for him and found him in one of the toilets sitting on the floor. He had been there for almost an hour and couldn't move to get up after limping to the toilet to vomit. I had to drag him back to the room. He kept on vomitting thereafter.

Lifted him up on the bed and called the nearby clinics for housecall. Called up 3 of the clinics but the doctors were too busy to come. In the end, I called the ambulance to bring us to the nearest Changi Hospital.

Was waiting in the A&E for over an hour when the doctor finally came and told me that he had potassium deficiency and needed to be warded. The nurse brought me to do the admission arrangements and he was put on the potassium chloride drip which was very painful. I can see him trying to endure the pain.

I spent the rest of my day with him in the ward and working on my laptop while he rested. I was glad to see him recovering the usage of his limbs as the night progresses. The doctor couldn't find out any reason so he had to be warded for another day or two while they run scans and tests on him. A possible reason might be linked to his family history of thyroid.

Now I just wanted him to get well and stayed well and hopefully the doctor can find some reasons to the deficiency.
