Get Well Soon, Nadira

I’ve had eventful activities since I came back from Umrah. The moment I got back home all the pending tasks n needs immediately popped out from my head. First things first, the next morning I went to do groceries as all the rations at home were out of stock. Nadira was complaining having pain in her right eye. I told her to wait until the next day as I was still tired to drive out to the clinic.

On Sunday, my cousin Kak Yan went back to Kedah n Dhaniah to Putrajaya. Later then I went to the clinic for Nadira’s eye checked up. Since it was on Sunday, most of all the clinics were closed. I found one clinic nearby my house n waited for one hour till got to see the doctor. The doctor said that her eyes got some infection cause of the blood vessel got torn. I don’t know how that happened as Nadira said she didn’t fall down or poke something in her eye.

The doctor gave an eye drop n a tube of ointment. If her eyes didn’t get better by 1-2 days, she got to get a follow up treatment from the eye specialist. The doctor gave her a week M.C for her to get recovered. Today, Nadira’s eye seems getting worse. Her eye swollen, reddish n she felt painful n twitchy.

So this afternoon I brought her to the Selangor Medical Centre to see the eye specialist. The doctor explained to us very detailed of what actually happened to her eyes. Her eye got infection n there’s something like a ketumbit in the middle of her eyelid. Since it was in the middle, it’s difficult for the doctor to squeeze it out unless it’s at the corner of the eye. So Nadira had to go for a minor surgery.


The moment the doctor said word ‘surgery’ n ‘operation’, she has started crying out loud. We got to calmed her down for a few moments. Nadira never undergone any operation before n this will definitely scared her to death. I felt sorry for my girl. She really cried n said that she was scared.

After a few assurances from the doctor that it will be quick n less pain, Nadira finally agreed to go to the surgery room. I was there besides her holding her hand. The doctor got to jab her eyelid for buse. The moment the doctor inject the needle I saw her eyelid’s skin swollen up like a balloon. Oh my God, that was so scary. But I had to pretend n kept calm as I didn’t want to show my panic face to Nadira.

Then the doctor used a spatula to grip her eyelid n tightened the screw on it to make sure the eye lid didn’t slipped of from it. At that moment Nadira was cried out of her lung n squeezed my hand tightly. The doctor tried to loosen the grip then the eyelid slipped again. So the processed kept repeating for 3 times. I had to tell Nadira to stay calm or else she will be more painful n made the doctor’s job more difficult.

Then the doctor used a small knife to cut the swollen part like ketumbit in her eye lid. The doctor scraped n pressed that part till all the nanah n blood came out. Huh.. if Nadira were to see what the doctor did to her eyes, she surely will go hysterical.

The surgery only took around 8 minutes. Nadira was actually more scared than painful. When the doctor put the patch on her right eyes n we all made fun of her, she started laughing. Hakeem said Kak Deea looked like Naruto!!

I hope that she will recover soon. This is definitely something that she will never forget in her life. My poor girl.
