eastcoastlife injured in G Hotel, Penang


I touched down in Penang airport at 9.35am on Friday morning. Took a limousine to G Hotel at Gurney Drive. I was told it was too early to check in but after some winking and flashing begging, Nuar managed to get me a room. Happily I took the key, turned and walked barely 5m, when I missed the wooden steps in front of me and POOOM!!! Fell down. (ay.... I can hear peals of laughter here arh......)

I composed myself, straightened my back and walked towards the lift. I started feeling pain in my left ankle. Once in the lift, the pain hit me very hard. I could barely stand. I was groaning with pain inside the lift. I also noticed the bottle of Singapore Sling that I bought for Dr Bernard was broken and dripping blood red liquid on the lift carpet. Uh-oh!

I dragged myself out of the lift, a trail of red liquid dripped all the way from the lift to my room. hehe... paiseh. Looked like so seriously injured. I quickly called Operator and asked for ice cubes to apply on the quickly swelling left ankle. I also asked for a doctor. While waiting for help, I took pictures of my ter ka (pork trotter, my swollen left foot). Help arrived within 10 minutes. The Front Office Manager Navin and Lobby Manager, Wann came up to my room with a wheelchair. Wann would accompany me to a clinic.

Wann wheeled me down to the lobby to a waiting taxi. The driver Lee and Wann helped me into the taxi and we drove for about 15 minutes to a clinic which has re-located. Then we went to another clinic at Pulau Tikus. It was a small, inconspicuous clinic.

The lady Indian doctor took a look and when she pressed on my left ankle, it hurt so much, I bawled. Wann was taken aback. Maybe he had never seen a sophisticated matured lady cried before. But it was very painful. The ankle was quite swollen by then. It felt tight.

The doctor said I had better go to the hospital. It looked like a fracture, I needed an X-ray. So we got into the taxi (Hey, not easy ok? Wann had to let me grab hold on to him whenever I got in and out of the taxi. I was quite shy, but had to rely on him.) and headed to Hospital Pulau Pinang.

I had to register and again a guy pressed my swollen ankle during examination, releasing another flood of tears. Painful ok! I called Dr Bernard to tell him I couldn't meet him. He was shocked to hear that I was in the hospital, so he texted Dr Chen. I was wheeled to Emergency Room..... to wait. Later I was seen by a lady Indian doctor who asked me to go for an X-ray.

After my X-ray, Wann wheeled me back to Emergency Room to wait. It took more than an hour. When my X-ray was ready, I was told there was no fractures but I could have torn a ligament, so was asked to see an Orthopaedic. I was given 2 painkillers but I have to eat some food first. So Wann brought me out to grab a sandwich and a Milo.

While trying to swallow my lunch, I checked my messages and Bernard texted a while ago that he was on the way to see me. He was an hour's drive from the hospital and he was crossing Penang Bridge to see me!! When I saw him approaching from the carpark, my tears was about to break the dam. So kum tong (touched)! I almost stood up and threw myself at him! hahaha...

Bernard then accompanied me to ER. He took a look at the X-rays and said there was no need to see the Orthopaedic. So he sent us back to the hotel. He went to buy 2 cold packs before coming up to my room. And he forgot to have his lunch that day!

While scrutinizing the X-rays again, Bernard said I might have a bone alvursion. So I was advised to see an Orthopaedic in Island Hospital which is a privately owned hospital by a Singaporean. I called Wann again and he wouldn't couldn't accompany me. So he got the taxi driver Lee to send me.

I was bundled into the taxi and off we set to Island Hospital. It took less than 30 minutes to see a specialist. The injury was nothing to worry about. I had to put on a brace. And no stepping on the left foot for a week! I was asked to do a ice compression therapy and an ultra sound. Both the therapists were quite cheerful and talkative. We had a blast bantering and one of them took pictures for me. I was RM400 poorer after that laughter session! sigh.......


Lee sent me back to the hotel. Bellboy Izane wheeled me up to my room and made sure I was comfortable before leaving. LB called to chee kek (provoke) me. He was clearly tickled that I got my just desserts. He was laughing on the other end! All because I told him I would push him around Penang and then down Penang Hill in a wheelchair! So, friends, don't anyhow open your mouths to curse tease others. hehe....

Wann came to see me and asked me to help him by writing my version of what happened that day. He also handed me the taxi fare bill, RM120. Doctor's fees will be charged to my hotel bill. He made sure that water, a fruit platter (compliment of the hotel), TV remote control and ice cubes were within my reach before he left my room. Dr Chen came to visit me with lotsa Penang delicacies in the evening. There was Penang Char Kway Teow (Fried Noodle), Oyster Omelette, Rojak (Fruit Salad) and an appetising beverage! *burp*

All this time, my ankle was hurting like crazy. I wasn't moving much. My swollen ankle was propped up on 2 pillows. I took painkillers but they weren't providing relief. Cable TV was my only companion. I was injured and alone in a foreign country.

Bernard was texting me all this time to check on me. When he heard that I couldn't sleep because of the pain, he came over to give me painkillers. And it was already close to midnight! This incredible guy drove for an hour to deliver painkillers to this sick Aunty! Wah! How to repay him? *scratches head*

A much awaited awesome vacation of yummy food, meeting of Malaysian bloggers, feasting on famous Balik Pulau durians and checking out interesting places in Penang turned into a tour of medical facilities and meeting doctors. aiyooo.........

Many of the staff in G Hotel know me as the invalid woman in Room XXXX. A taped recording of my fall must have been viewed countless times. Probably on YouTube now. hahaha.... I reserve my rights on seeking legal advice.

I'm now hopping on my good leg to the bathroom. I took my baths hopping on one leg too! Amazing. Another accident waiting to happen in the bathroom. Now are you wondering how I wear my panty standing only on one leg? mwahahaha..........

  1. Sounds like a really really bad fall there. Hope the leg will recover fast enough. It's such torture not being able to walk properly.

  2. Ed,
    Yes, it was a very bad fall. I was suffering for the past two days. I want to go out for fresh air!!!

    ReplyDelete
  3. If the fall was something that couldn't have happened.. if not for the steps.. then maybe.. you should take it up with the hotel..?? no..??

    ReplyDelete
  4. mamabok,
    It shouldn't have happened. The steps are not visibly clear.

    Of course I would have to take it up with the hotel.

    The pain is back. I couldn't sleep. That's why I'm back at my blogging. :(

  5. I was quite shy ...

  7. Oh dear ... what a dramatic episode. We all love happy ending so please write us some ya? I was about to share some advice on doing some simple exercise and stretching to speed up the healing process but I am sure you have your panel of doctors to take care of you.

    This Dr. Bernard sounds like a real good man ya? I am sure you will bring him another bottle of Singapore Sling in no time! Get well soon!

    Hmmm ... How you wear you panty standing only on one leg eh? How about one time I hurt both my knees till they couldn't bend much. Now you wonder how I wear my undie back then ... Ha ha ha ... Sorry, can't help it to crack some fun after reading your rather cheerful way of blogging such a painful accident.

    Now, when you feel pain, try to repeat this in your head ... All These Shall Pass ... Think of walking down your favorite stretch of Orchard road in no time, list down a bunch of stuffs to do and places to go when you are recovered ...

    And no, your security video is still safe with the hotel. I have been doing an exclusive search in YouTube and nothing comes out ...

    ... yet. Ha ha ha. Take care!

    ReplyDelete
  8. Oh dear! Hope you hv a speedy recovery. It is no fun being hurt and staying in a foreign land ALONE.

    Does that mean you can't come back till you are alright?

  9. wilfrid,
    hahaha... thanks for cheering me up!

    Dr Bernard is a real incredible guy! I have another bottle of Singapore Sling brought over for him. :) And I'm going to get him a wife next! hehehe.....

    Ah, I guess in such situations, you wouldn't be bothered with wearing undies. ;P

    Yeah, I try to remain positive and upbeat. ECL wants to go home!!

    Thanks for doing the search at YouTube. One of the staff jokingly said it has probably been made into pirated VCD and sold at Ferringhi Beach! mwahahahaha....

    ReplyDelete
  10. lzmommy,
    Thanks. Yes, it was terrible being alone and injured in a foreign land. Many thanks to Dr Bernard and Dr Chen though.

    My hubby flew over on Saturday night.

    I can't walk on my left foot, so I might need a wheelchair when coming back home. Trying to get better before making the trip. :)

    ReplyDelete
  14. Aiyo. ECL. Poor girl.

    I broke my leg when I was 8-year-old. In hospital for 6 weeks, then on tongkat for another 3.

    I fully understand your problem, sigh.

    Get well soon? OK? I will get someone massage my leg, thinking about you ^-^

    But that massage part to chee kek me is unnecessary, ok! grrrr.....

    I feel like I have another son's marriage to worry about. hehehe.... wonder what role I would play at his wedding?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hey Tom!
    Yes, I remember your accident and the swollen ankle. :)

    I'm pleased to announced that my fall was indeed a graceful one! :)
    The ugly scenes were out of public views.

    Oops. That was your sister. :P

    ReplyDelete
  23. oh gosh, what an "adventure"! at least you still got some CKT and rojak despite your immobility. hope your ankle heals fast so you can run around Penang without the Golden Crutch... lol! sorry, shouldn't laugh, but you did write it quite funnily... ;-)

    get well soon!!

    ReplyDelete
  24. May,
    Well.... I did get some yummy food, though not eating them in the place I want. :(

    I'm returning to Singapore tomorrow. Cannot 'run around' for at least 3 weeks wor. Doctor's order. Prison term! *wail*

    ReplyDelete
  25. I will wish for your speedy recovery and safety.

    Gosh, would you want our breakfast date next Sun to be at your place instead? If so, I will check with the other ladies.

    And Eastcoastlife, you seem to have an interest in matchmaking?

    Anyway, keep safe please.

    ReplyDelete
  26. oceanskies,
    Thanks.

    I'll probably be immobile for the next 3 weeks! Gosh! But I have a wheelchair ready in Singapore. So going out shouldn't be a problem. :)

    Yes, matching making is one of my businesses. ;)

    See you soon... I can't wait to go back!

    ReplyDelete
  27. ECL, that was a bad injury. I wouldn't have described you as 'shy', though.

    You have our sympathy, but a little smile as well, with that lovely post.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Captain Picard,
    I'm shy, my posts don't portray me that way. hehe....

    Ahhh... the laughing and teasing is pure harmless fun. At least I garner some sympathy for my injury. :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. OMG! Sounds really hurt, I can feel the *ouch*. OMG! But, I still feel your laughter, so... Kind of relieved. I think you are alright. Just curious, how you wear your panty now?
    haha....

    ReplyDelete
  30. healy,

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hello eastcoastlife,
    Dropped by your blog from Aunty Judy's and OPPPS! Just knew you injured yourself. It must be very painful from what you've described. Hope now it's much more better now. Get well soon!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Oh dear, wat a turn of events.
    Hope the ankle gets well soon, and then u can really push LB down Penang Hill! Hahahaa!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Oh my! This is a really bad fall. Rest well.

    From Izel & Paddy

    ReplyDelete
  34. ecl, oh dear. Actually, to me you are a very strong woman so when you said Wann was taken aback by your tears, I think I would react like him too. :P

    Anyway, after $$$$ poorer, I hope you are well on the way to recover and kicking butts.

    Dr Bernard is one great guy hor. Pity not many doctors like him, if any at all, in UK.

    I am here to see where this 'rock blogger for boys' is. Hehehehe, now you know I am very MCC (mong cha cha).

    ReplyDelete
  35. Surfslayer: please take good care of your ankle, make sure it heals properly--i injured my ankle once too, and it was troublesome! =X

    ReplyDelete
  36. Hope you recover soon. I winced as I read your post, and I can feel your pain. This reminds me of the time when I hurt my left foot during a soccer game. It took me months to recover (both physically and psychologically). Now I have become a sadist.

    ReplyDelete
  37. LOL!! it must be really difficult to wear panties....
    wat a funny meeting. nice to see u, eastcoastlife-chan!
    and im praying for ur quick recovery. take care :)

    Get well soon!

  39. My mum fell down once and had a fracture, so don't play play! Better take care and let it heal before you go for fresh air! :P

    ReplyDelete
  40. Alamak, how come so careless? But iayha, I guess if the red liquid was S'pore Sling instead of blood, then not so bad, hor? heh heh.. take care! *hugs*

  41. Aiyoh...so poor thing! wasted your holidays.
    Ok..now do you recollect anyone wishing you to 'break a leg' as you were going for your holidays?
    Rest well, yeah!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Oh my goodness! It sounds really painful to me. I hope you are all right and could walk again without trouble soon!

    By the way, I've kind of done the foody meme you gave me in April. Hope you will enjoy it. :)

    do take good care~

    ReplyDelete
  72. Ouch! Sounds like a really bad fall and no fun at all... I remembered that the last time I was hospitalised, the pain was agonising. I am glad to read about the wonderful friends you have like bernard and all the other bloggers here giving their encouragement and support.

    Here's praying for a speedy recovery for your leg and good spirits during your recovery process. Well at least you can still blog about it and joke about it too in a light hearted manner. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  73. Hope u get well soon woh. Nice meeting u & Chris, hope we can meet up again in Singapore. And not forgetting thanks for the treat yesterday night :)

    p/s: Albie said each time he sees someone on wheelchair, he will think of u liao :)

    ReplyDelete
  74. If the circumstances weren't so sad (unable to hip hop all night), it would and should qualify for a spot on Benny Hill's Home Video of All Time Greatest Bits. Too bad there wasn't the chalk from the hotel, or it would have even been so much better. I shouldn't laugh too much though. I apologize for the earlier guffaws, but I am glad you could see the funnier side too. Many BIG HUGS, thanks so much for all your smiles despite the pain, the wonderful dinner of authentic Penang Hip Hop Food, the Sling Sling, and I hope we can get together again, in Spore the next time, to laugh again, hard, about all this!

    ReplyDelete
  75. Get well soon, ecl jie! ;)

    Now, each time we see a wheelchair, you are all we'll be thinking of :D

    I hope I'm well enough to attend the brunch meet this Sunday. I'll listen to your good advice. *wink*

    ReplyDelete
  90. Wow ... 100 comments! You are certainly being loved! I don't normally go through that many comment but here I am, knowing that you are bored and all, bumping this post the second round to say ... hi, you getting better?

    Besides a food orgy of authentic, yummy Singapore food, have you though of running a half marathon when you recovered? I know just which one to go for towards the end of the year :)

    Take care!

    ReplyDelete
  91. That was a terrible fall, sounded really serious. Do take care, I know how painful it was when happened on matured lady... I fell down about 2 mths ago from my swivel chair at home. I wrote a post on it too....http://janiceng.blogspot.com/2007/05/tgif-but-no-thanks.html
    I hurt my backside near the spine there. Danger zone to get hurt. It took me a month to fully recover from the pain.

  92. Yo yo yo wilfrid,
    Yeah!!! I'm blessed, loved, admired, cherished, fantasized.... mwhahahaha......

  103. Leonard,
    bo pian! Not that I want to travel around, the hotel didn't want to take up responsibility for my accident in its premises!!! The staff brought me to a cheap little clinic instead of to a hospital.

    5-star hotel but low class treatment of an injured guest!

    Thanks for your concern. :)

    Hope you get better soon - and make sure to be very careful with your ankle. My boyfriend had to have surgery on his ankle - he tore some ligaments - so his foot is in a cast now :/
    Good thing you didn't tear any ligaments ;)

    Inspite of all the pain and boredome of staying in your room, you still manage to squeeze in a joke, my friend! And a good one, too!

  133. AnitoKid,
    hahaha... thanks for your visit. Glad you like my writing. ^-^

    ReplyDelete
  134. hmmm, so now you feet's still swollen?

    Well irony it may seemed, having pork legs DOES helps you heal faster since it's so rich in tissues and protein. your top priority should be resting alot and take extra portions of protiens such as eggs, lean white meat and soya bean milk.

    Yeah may I add you into my blog?

    ReplyDelete
  135. Angel_X,
    Yes, my leg is still swollen.

    hahaha... my pork leg is rich in tissues and proteins but cannot eat it leh!

    Thanks for your advice. I'm taking good care of myself. I want to get well too.

    Thanks for the add then. ^-^
