Andy's partially collapsed lung

28 December 2009, Monday

One good news and one bad news from Andy's several appointments in a week. To help the story flow in narrative order, I shall break the good news first. Andy is officially DISCHARGED out of Changi General Hospital! And the bad news is: there is no improvement of his condition, he is now referred and admitted directly to Singapore General Hospital. No way of running this time.

Blk 5, Level 6, Ward 56, Room 25, Bed 12. Feel free to visit him with cards, flowers and fruits. Or simply with your presence. But strictly limited to 2 visitors and only @ visiting hours 12-2p.m or 5 to 8.30p.m.

We made a new friend @ CGH, Sim,18. Same condition as Andy. Partial lung collapsed, pnemothorax.(if you are a medical student). It just happen spontaneously( common in tall slim young boys and in Marfan Syndrome) * People with Marfan are typically tall, with long limbs and long thin fingers.

It's funny. First time we met in CGH, Andy was wheeled- chaired and in great pain while he appeared perfectly fine and normal. Now we met again in SGH, it's the complete opposite. Andy walked into the wards and was mobile. He came by ambulance , totally bed -ridden. The first sight of him really drew much laughter and joy, practically the Laugh Out Loud (LOL) kind. First is irony, second is coincidence.
First day of warded life
