A terrible intrusion

Something that has been in my mind which I have kept quiet for a long time.

My throat hasnt been feeling well since Jan. I didn't even bother telling woodblock about it as I thought it was just a sore throat. However, as the months passes by until April, I realise that the pain had ceased to go away and will always come on and off =( As suggested by my clleague, I went to the clinic to try antibiotics for my throat as some sore throat are real stubborn in going away....

NOPE! After the full medication, it still din go away. Now I was pretty panicking about it as I recall how my teacher got throat tumour when I was in Secondary School. Woodblock was upset about it too when he found out that i let it dragged sooooooooooooooo looooooooooooooong. So he quickly got me to make an appointment to see a specialise doc and even took half a day off to company to see the doc *touched*.

So today was the final day when i got to see the doc. I AM SUPER NERVOUS, it was obvious that the doc need to insert a sensor down into the throat but I swear that I did go to Tan Tock Seng with lots of pyschological preparation so i thought it will be ok for me.

In the clinic, the doctor sprayed some liquid into my nose. I was pondering what's that for ...?!?!

WAIT ... something's not right!?! What I didn't know was that the sensor was supposed to be inserted through

MY NOSE !!!!

Ouch was the menancing thought that came to my mind. BY the time I came round to what was happening, I realise there was an extremely bitter taste in my mouth due to the liquid spray just now. Even though the liquid spray was supposed to be use for numbing the nose passage way, for the next 5 minutes, I couldn't even open my eyes as I felt so terrible and uncomfortable with a long tube poking deeped and deeper in.

I even stopped BREATHING! However, by not breathing, it was a total obstruction for the passage of the tube sensor and I struggle to force myself to breathe while bearing all the terrible sensations.

WHEW finally when the doctor took out the tube I thought everything was over. NAH not so easy and then he start inserting the tube through the OTHER nostril =(

All was a good sacrifice at the end of the day as the doctor finally diagnose the most probable reason of all the pain. GLAD that it was definitely nothing to do with tumour, but the swollen interior indicates that it might be cause by heart burn =( sigh I did get chest pain from heartburn last yr little but little did I know that it hasn't completely go away yet...

I hope there won't be any more side effects from heart burn

BUT

I know I be FINALLY sleeping soundly with ease tonight =)
