mama seems much more comfy after she got painkillers. practically no pain. they did the standard investigative tests, and they extracted whatever was swelling up inside her right chest and it turned out to be haemoserous fluid. think that's water and plasma or something. the cause of the collection is unknown as of now and before we left her we could see that it had spread to her left side as well. but mama's cheery and perky (maybe a little high, lol) and that's really what's more important.
this is how the night went down: when we reached, the paramedics registered her and we waited for a doc. got a doc, explained her symptoms, and waited for tests to be done. got test results, waited for warding paperwork. followed mama to transit ward, filled in paperwork and answered nurse's questions. accompanied mama for a while longer, then went to seating area to snooze until MRT started functioning. took MRT home at 6am. had breakfast near home and voila.
no fracture is visible on the films, and the symptoms are so random that the docs are kind of scratching their heads. upper arm pains in the morning, and an hour later massive swelling under her right clavicle. it got really huge really quick. pretty mysterious. i just hope the fluid doesn't start squashing her poor little heart on the left. that would be bad.
oh, i got to ride in an ambulance last night. cool stuff. thank God for a good ambulance company.. the price, vehicle, and paramedics were good.
okay i seriously need a bath and nap. thanks so much for the smses of care. we really, really appreciate it all.
