Day 2 in Spore

Day 2 in Spore
The first night there in Spore was horrible… Hyppo was giving loads of problem.

He took his sleeping pills, and that’s when he started to “sleep walk” all over the condo. Finally when he got tired, he went into the room to lie down and sleep. But lying down gave him hiccups. He then tried to vomit, but the only thing which came out is white color flame. He looked really ‘san fu’. As he was already drowsy and heavy on the sleeping pills, I doubt if he remembers what happened that night. After the white white stuff he vomited, he started vomiting blood mix chicken (his dinner that evening). Yucky stuff… He was good enuf to do it in the toilet the 1st few times around. He jst end up vomiting OUT of the basin or around the toilet bowl. He even vomited on my tooth brush. Yucks.. I cleaned up his vomit, throw him back into his bed then I went out to the living room to study. Thinking that’s the end of the story.

Before I could even read finish 2 pages, I heard him hiccupping again *groan*

I went to his room, and his hiccups got so bad that he was like a jelly bean, he somehow slipped onto the floor and sat there. He was in a position where there’s nothing at all to support his neck, and his head keeps lolling around that I prop myself up on my arms and let him rest his head on my sholder. After a while sitting on the floor, miraculously, his hiccups disappeared. Then the next problem began. I couldn’t get him to get up back onto the bed to sleep.

It’s exactly like how I’ll describe a corpse. You can do whatever you want to him, he won’t rebel. He has 1 of his feet beneath his thigh (his legs were tangled up like in a Yoga position), I had to pull his feet out and his feet actually scrapped across the parket floor, but that wasn’t bad enough to wake him. He was not co-operative at all when I kept talking to him trying to get him to wake up for at least 1 minute, and pull himself up the bed. He is probably twice my weight, and I had to drag him up onto the bed. Finally mission accomplished. I was so happy that he’s finally on the bed and sleeping… thought that’s the end.

But no… it was just the beginning, he suddenly jerked up going to throw up big time. I grabbed a plastic bag and shove it to him, he vomited into it. And the vomit came out from beneath the plastic bag!! There’s a hole in the bag *groan*. Shucks…

With that, he held the dripping bag, and float himself into the toilet. Throwing up again all over the wash basin and dripping the bloody vomit all over the toilet floor.

Clearing up the mess after that, almost made me vomit. It’s goo-ey, red…just yucky and it stinks terribly! He poked his finger into his throat and vomit out everything he has to vomit… and gladly enuf, that was the grand finale.. that was already close to 2am!

After I cleaned up everything, I was glad to see that he chose to lie on the bed instead… Glad he didn’t choose to lie on the floor like earlier.

I didn’t feel safe enough to let him sleep alone in the room, I wanted to be near him in case anything happens, so I went to sleep on the floor right at the foot of his bed.

Early in the morning, he decided to wake up at 5am, and he tried to kill me by stepping on me.

That was the drama during Friday night + Saturday early morning.

After breakfast (we tapau Pau’s from the night before), about 12noon, we took cab back to Toa Payoh, to see Andrew’s BIL and the professors who operated on him… They wanted to check him out to make sure he is fine. We had lunch at Toa Payoh too..had Dim Sum.. yummy.

After food, we went back to Cashew Heights to rest a while before going out dinner. I spent the afternoon studying while Andrew went to watch his movies.

About 5pm+ we drove back to 6th Avenue to meet Tina, and she took us to their cousin’s Sally’s place.. Together with Joshua, we had Japanese dinner. Funny thing about Joshua is, he doesn’t like holding my hands.. but he doesn’t mind holding hands with Andrew. Same as Celine…she likes to let me carry her and play with her… but she just refuses to let Andrew carry her. Hehe

After our Japanese dinner, we went back to Sally’s place for a while to wait for Tina to pick us up. I played with Celine a while until she seems to love me so much.. IN the car while driving home, she choose to sit on my lap to let me cuddle her. Such a warm and lovely feeling when she calls “che che” and crawls into my arms.

By the time we got back to 6th Ave, it was already 10pm+ and Andrew started watching his football match while I took a nap.

That 2nd night in Spore, Andrew didn’t have any vomiting problem at all. Just that he still hiccup’s and he was having amnesia. He couldn’t sleep and spent his whole night watching his movies in the living room until 3am+ when he woke me up to ask me to go sleep back in the room (I was sleeping on the sofa).

3am+ he went to bed, I think he barely slept cos I knew he kept getting out of the room and dunno where or what he does. He woke up very early too.. The room was so cold, but I didn’t wanna get up and wake him. He went a pull a miserable little towel as his blanket, and I donated my blanket to him… ended up my feets were freezing the whole night.

I got up, walked around and slept back.. only waking up at 10am and that’s when I bath and followed Andrew out for breakfast nearby Cashew Heights. Had this fishball noodle which tasted totally tasteless.

After breakfast, went back to Cashew Heights to pack up all our stuff while the King Andrew watches movie. But since he already declared himself as a patient, so nvm… I’ll do the packing.

After that, about 12+ we went back to 6th Avenue, go to clinic to meet andrew’s BIL there to change his dressing, and had lunch. This Andrew had to wear this garment around his stomach, like a corset. The minute he left spore, he already removed his garment to let his stomach breath. Started driving back about 3-4pm+ and only arrived back home about 9pm+.
