post op...

Wow...finally had the energy to come here and blog about my operation. My goodness, was in pretty bad shape yesterday man. Operation was supposed to start at about 12+, but in the end because there was 2 more patients in front of me so, i had to wait till 2+ before i was called into the room.



The anaethetist was there, talking to me asking me what i was going to study etc, and all the while, she was injecting local anesthetic into my left wrist, so that she can put a needle sorta thing there, which was later used to supply the General Anaestetic. Awhile after inserting the needle thing, they put on a gas mask and asked me to breathe deeply and suddenly the anaethetist said that she was going to put me to sleep then.



Trust me i was so excited, and all the while i can feel some liquid being poured into my left hand via the needle in my wrist...



There was a sort of heaviness in my head and i continued takin in the deep breaths and i was fighting and fighting.

I don't wanna close my eyes...


Take a deep breath...now tt's good...



I wanna say something *tries to open mouth*



Another deep breath now..



*My eyes are shutting* Ouch my head so hurts, stop fighting...my head is exploding in pain and i wanna say something!!! *my eyes shut* but i can still hear the voices around me..

1 more deep breath now....that's the way, just one more deep breath...



Lost consciousness...





When i woke up, i was already lying back on my bed, in the recovery room and my eyes are squinting, slowly taking in the surroundings and there was a nurse talking to me. A while later, the surgeon came and told me about my medication...and i can listen but can't really respond. I kept opening and closing...so tired...



And there i lay for awhile before being wheeled out. And i lay there for about 2 hours, with the duty dentist trying to suppress the bleeding for me. They gave me ribena...but i was still bleeding..

At about 7pm, i was given the all clear to go home, mym mum drove me home and i was being to feel more alert, but still was bleeding...

Lay down on the couch, for about 3 hours, thinking about my birthday party. Can't sleep, spent too much time resting that day.

Took my medicine, but forced to lie down on the couch, cannot move anywhere on my own...soon it's 24 hours since my last meal...

Woke up at about 3am, to change the gauze that i was biting on...wet with blood...and i was still awake...and zixu tt bum had to sms me at 4.50am...

In the morning...i was still bleeding...but heck, took out the gauze and decided not to bite it anymore. Read harry potter for 7 hours straight...and now it's night...close to 44 hours since i had my last meal...

And my face was so swollen i can't believe it...i can't even open my mouth properly, or talk properly...pathetic...
