And one day I was in intesive care
🕑 Added 2022-05-11 19:48:41 +0000 UTCMy name's Horakko. I'm an 18 year old graduate of upper education, I live on a small island with my family. End of this year I'm leaving for university...I love see animals and want to study them...That's my dream. I...think it's good to think of this to keep me going.
I'm...not home right now...I'm in the hospital. I can't move, I can't talk, I can't breathe. At least not on my own. I just woke up here. That bit of stomach pain I had been having for a couple of days seems to have been worse than I thought. I can hardly remember what happened, but it was told I had made it and that all's gonna be fine.
I just need some time to recover.
"Good morning, Harakko!~ How are you doing?"
The nurse...She's very nice, but I feel really awkward. I'm laying here, certainly looking horrible. Sweaty, stinky, naked, full off stuff and I can't even more or do anything myself. It seems I'm being fed through a tube in my nose. I can't even go to the bathroom, so they had to put a drain in me...How embarrassing. She had to go through the trouble of washing me yesterday, I felt like a baby. She doesn't seem to mind any of the things she has to do for me though...She's somehow always cheerful and super nice to this helpless and useless me.
"Oh dear, you still seem really feverish. Let me feel."
"Aww, poor thing. You're hot like a stove. Don't worry, The doctor and me are sure it will subside today. You're really strong, Horakko."
When I woke up, all I could notice were strange sounds. It was the beeping of all the medical equipment surrounding me here. I wasn't strong at all, I was terribly scared, but I just had no other choice than to just live through this sudden nightmare.
Apparently at one point I was in surgery, like on the operating table and everything and my...heart stopped. It's the kind of thing you see in movies or TV. I never paid it much mind, but it's the kind of scene, where the patient dies and the machine goes *Beeeeeeep* because there's no pulse and then they shock the patient, or something like that. Was...was I there too?
*"We're loosing her!"*
*"Charging 360!"*
*"Clear!"*
---
*"Nothing!"*
*"Come on Horakko!"*
*"Charging again!"*
*"Clear!"*
---
That can't possibly be right, can it?
But it sure does feel different to think about it here, than at home.
"Horakko my dear, I know you are not going to like this, but I have to clear out your tube, alright? So just bear with me, I'll do my best."
Huh? I didn't really listen. What is she doing?
Ahh! What is that? It's...It's going into my tube and that goes...
Down my throat. Ah, it's going in!
"I just have to suck a little mucus out and make sure you are all clean, so you can stay healthy there. I will flush a little first."
Owwww, that feels so weird...as if I'm drowning...
"And now I'll suction."
Ahhhh, make it stop! It feels horrible....You're killing me.
"And I'm done. Don't worry I won't do it again. Tomorrow we will extubate you. That sounds good doesn't it?"
I-It's over?
"But you will have to promise me to get as much rest as you can today, so we can 100% get rid of that pesky tube for you. I'm sure you'll be on your feet again soon, Horakko."
Sleeping is more difficult than you'd expect being tied to a big bed with plenty pf pillows. I'm always half asleep anyways and while I feel tired...and calm from the medicine I'm given...I'm just happy when I eventually loose my thoughts and suddenly close my eyes for a few short hours.
Turns out it helps to focus on the machines whose noise I first woke up to.
First they felt scary, but now...They feel safe.
