After being assigned a ward, I stayed in the room and did some reading, along with some prayers. The nurse came by, asked a lot of questions and collected blood samples. I was scheduled for a CT scan at 2pm. This required fasting for at least 4 hours. Doctor later came by and asked some further questions. After that, some needles were poked on both hands.
The scan was done around 4pm. It was a machine that you would see in a movie, with the patient lying on the bed, the circular hollow ring with the sophisticated equipment passed through the portion that need to be scanned. Prior to this, some injections were given to allow for better imaging. This was followed by lung x-ray.
My family came and visited later. Kids were busy with their homework assignment which they brought along. Later the nurse arranged for Fortran, which would purge the intestines for the operation the next day. More doctors came by, one on operation, another on physiotherapy, and last one on G.A. I was asked to sign a paper on consent, after the doctor explained all the possible risks.
After many rounds of clearing the bowel, I could finally rest. Prayed and committed everything to the Lord.
