half an hr more to my surgery....on the bus wif mum....i'm still calm and all...din want my mum to get more worried than she oreadi is....shall not tink about the fact that a quarter of my teeth will be lost but more afraid of the GA and how much pain it'll be after the op...many shrieked at the idea of my op and many showed that they cared...so touched....i'll be fine cos of all the blessings...the onli ting i can look forward to now will be to drink a cup of warm soy bean milk after the op...my immediate reward.....
i reported at the counter...was on the dot....9.30am.....mum had to wait outside....told her to go shopping....changed into the kimono....n waited with another guy who is gg in before me....both of us gg thru anaesthesia...so nid to prick a needle on our left hand....waited n waited (with the needle) fer more than an hour before i was called to the surgery....by then i was alreadi feeling very cold....then the nurse told me it's gg to be colder inside....they took off the robe and i was left wif the kimono...*brr...* the lights were very strong and i see around 4-5 pple around me....the anaesthetist intro himself...an indian whom i can reali catch wad he is saying...he seems to be under coaching of another old man....who seems quite grumpy....they told me to take deep breaths....i did.....7-8 breaths n i'm still awake....n finally when i smelt a different smell, i fell into deep sound sleep.....never so sound before....i haf alwiz been dreaming about werk....but not this time round.....
"open your eyes! open your eyes!" i heard the old man calling me...i tried..but my eye lids were heavy....blurred vision....cant seem to see clearly....could feel my left cheek totally swell up...so much so that my left eye couldnt open completely....left jaw was painful....right jaw not so much...kept hearing beeping of my heart beat from the maching...and frequent squeezing of my left arm cos taking my blood pressure.....most painful of all were my legs.....tried hard not to shiver....but i just kept shaking uncontrollably on the bed....soon, they brought a warmer to stop my shivering....wow...dat realli helped....i rested fer a while before the surgeon dr woo loo cheng came to my bed...."u ok? let me see if the bleeding has stopped....just now there was a lot of bleeding so i onli took out you 4 wisdom teeth....if it's better later, we'll continue again...." i was like huh??!! u mean i haf to go thru all dat again??!! gosh....nearly cried n wanted to abandon the idea of putting on braces since the other 4 premolars were for the braces.....gosh....they called mum to ask her to come back 2-3 hrs later....soon, the surgeon came again to check and bleeding was much better...but i was still bleeding la.....so she asked if we could continue....aiya...might as well one shot lar....okie lo...so in i went again...i must admit i'm realli strong....haa...my co teacher reminded me that yest too...
round two....the lights were realli glaring...had to close my eyes...the indian anaesthetist was shivering himself....he kept hugging himself....imagine me on the cold surgery bed....alone wif all these pple whom i'm seeing for the ferst time....brr....but tis time round they put the warmer at my feet...so not so bad...
when i woke up once again....i was so glad i'm still alive....haa.....could feel my left cheek not as swollen....but it was painful still....so much wanted to cry....close my eyes n wanted to rest oso cannot rest peacefully....had difficulty breathing....the tube they inserted into my throat gave me such a hard time swallowing my saliva and blood....n worse was since this morning i had phlegm....kept choking on it....n it was realli difficult to spit it out....my lower jaw was totally numb....cannot feel it at all....the nurse fed me some water n i cannot even feel if my lips were closed.....kept spatting blood out....suddenly i felt a stinging pain on my left jaw....excruciating pain....had to call the nurse....they kept changing the gauze fer me but it onli helped a bit...so she gave me a pain reliever....that made it much better....poof.....the bag of teeth were right in front of me....dare not even look at them....gross....i used my tongue to check if all 4 premolars were out...in case they tell me i haf to go in again! haa.....okie...rite...4 holes....finally at 4+pm near to 5pm i was discharged....couldnt drink the apple juice the nurse gave me....the pharmacist came to explain to me all the drugs i had to take....then the nurse came to explain how to take care of my teeth for tis period....everyting i eat had to be cold...i can eat ice cream, yoghurt, milk, iced water....cool~! ferst time i'm advised to eat cold tings when i'm unwell....i shld take nothing hot or even warm....so there goes my 'reward' of drinking warm soy bean.....haiz...but nvm....i hadnt eaten anithing the whole dae since last nite...was a little hungry....but the pain just puts me off....plus drinking of my blood realli disgusts me alot....
when i changed and came out, mum was sitting there....feeling a little groggy....and weak since i haven eaten for the whole dae....but generally ok lar...took a cab home....couldnt open my mouth....ouch.....
