Pre-Admission Tests | 1 Aug 2013

I came back to the hospital for some pre-admission tests.

And I managed to have a good chat with T again that morning. T asked again for the thought of reconstruction. T emphasised that, the decision is all back to me, cos even though with the support of family members, what matters most is what my thought is. T was happy to know that I've got the support from the husband. I think she was really coming as a sound of a woman.

I did pause a little. But to summarize on what the husband and I talked (for the 2nd time) at the dinner premise the night before, I am positive that I wanna go ahead without the reconstruction.

FYI. There'll be a chance for implant or reconstruction in future if ever the needs arise. Just that if it was to be done on the same day of the surgery, the result achieved will be better and procedure will be less complicated.

Back to the tests.
There's a special department for this pre-admission tests. This recent visits at this public hospital had really awe me with their good systems and protocols. It had changed my perspective about public hospital, really!

Ok, now really back to the tests.
I did a heart test where the nurse will stick on some pads on to the body and print out graph/charts for the doctor. I also had my blood drawn again, they took almost 4 tubes of blood sample on that day >.<
Then I had to do chest x-ray, apparently this is to see if the lung is functioning properly. As opposed to the CT scan where it was to see if there's any abnormality or tumors anywhere at the chest.

Then there's a special consultant who walked me through on the financial billing, she gave me an estimation on bills of the whole procedure.

...

After the whole thing, I went back to the office again to wrap up the handover, to see the HR Manager again, to see my boss, to see my colleagues. To tell them that I'd be back real soon! :)
