O hello people~~~
I mean..Assalamualaikum..
This is story about my current abscess..my ninth bartholin abscess..
5days ago, i feel a slight pain near my vagina. And i know it's coming. I cant do anything to stop it from growing bigger. Can i? Until the third day.
The third day, i went to work as usual, but my movement was already limited. I cant stand for long, i felt a sudden cold, and sudden sweat. I asked my incharge to let me sit when i feel like it. And she gave me the permission. Well, i even take my break at the store, when it is actually forbidden for you to take a break in it. Is it?
Day 4. I still went to work. Because it was my partner offday. If i went to the clinic that day, i would definitely get a medical leave. And that means she need to work. And plus, she's not in terengganu. She went to see her future in laws in kelantan. This day, most of the time...i'm in the store, laying on the floor, with telekong under my head and finding the right position with the least pain. I feel useless that day. But, what can i do? I dont ask for it. Many times, i tried to make round in the shop but ended up i go back to the store to lay my back on the floor, i cant put pressure to my lower abdomen. + i'm so obese. At night, it's about 8.50pm, i go out of the shop with bread, painkiller and a bottle of water and sit at the corner of the shop. I eat a slice of bread, then take the pill and drink the water. I call my mom, telling her that i'm having an abscess. And i start crying. Some people see me crying at that times, but, who cares?
Day 5. I planned to go to the clinic, so i did. I went there at 8am. Quite early for a latebird like me. Well my incharge want me to open the shop and bring down the cash deposit before leaving. So i need to make sure i can do that after i go to the clinic. Then, at the clinic there were extremely lots of people until 10.15am. I told the nurse at the reception that i need to go out and come back later. She said, to inform her when i get back. My number is 1018. At that time it is 1012, so near yet so far because one patient may take longer time meeting the doctors for, i dont know, maybe treatment, ask for prescriptions, well. I dont know. So i went back to my shop, open the front door and i just cant stand still or sit. I ask the cashier to take the deposits upstairs. Cause i cant move much. 10.55am i went back to the clinic. I takes about half an hour until my number was called. So i went to see the doctor. Not so friendly doctor. A Female doctor. She saw my abscess and asked me to take the blood test. Came out my wbc count was 29 when normal people should have only 6.0-10.0( i asked my m.a friend, iqa). She want me to go to the hospital. But i said to her, " the last time i went to the hospital, i was told to go home, and let it burst by itself. I'll be fine if you just give me medical leave :)". She said okay and cancel booking for ambulance to take me to the hospital. Then she said, "i'll give you a pain relieve shot first before you go out". And of course, i was fine with almost everything. So, i take the shot on my butt, went home and sleep with less pain. It was yesterday actually.
So, in the evening of the 5th day, the pain relief start to fade. I started feeling pain again. I cant even walk like a normal person did. At night, about 9pm, the pain got severe, i cried so much, but then i think, "heyyy it's useless, stop it". I stopped and find the correct position to sleep. I wake up every 30 minutes, touch the abscess in hope for it to burst, but it did not. So i continue sleeping until 12.45am. I wake up because of the rotten smell. I touch my abscess. It punctured! I quickly went to the bathroom and tried to let out the puss. A lot of them! And then i went back to my bedroom, use another bed, put a lot of tissues on it and tried continue sleeping. But i cant. The puss keep coming out. So i use my phone until 4am. And i sleep comfortably until now.
Thats my 9th experience with bartholin abscess.
Thank you so much staf klinik kesihatan marang. Semua baik. Yang kat farmasi tu siap bagi salam lagi masa aku nak ambik ubat. Yang kat tempat amik darah tu siap cakap terima kasih lagi kat aku. Padahal aku la patut cakap terima kasih. Tapi aku cakap jugak la. Akak nurse tu jugakla yang teman aku naik ambulans masa first aku kena tahan wad tahun lepas.
Thank you so much kakak2 abang2 sekalian.
