aloha.
ytd, went out early in the morning,
to NDC, for another operation to extract 3 more teeth.
went with Dad.
and he keep thinking i'm feeling anxious or depressed or sth,
cause on the way there, and before the op,
he keep repeating, 'Hey, dun worry too much ok? Its only a minor op.....'
and i am like, 'yeah yeah. i'm fine'
reached just before 9.15,
waited while the clerk called my name,
Dad foot the bill,
and then went into the waiting area, had temperature and all tat taken.
I remembered the doctor who took my temp.
from my previous operation.
hahaha. she's a very nice lady, very motherly too.
Changed into the operation gown, (which i detest most!)
then gt called, and Dr Elaine explained the procedures of today's op,
and some of the v.rare risks involved.
and also said, i'll be given v.strong painkillers.
which in the tiniest bit make me feel comforted.
although she looked kinda intimidating.
LOL.
the surgeon operating on me is Dr Lye.
and gt quite a few patients today.
so while waiting, read some of the magazines,
and then slept for a while.
maybe i didn't sleep at all, more like lying on the bed waiting for my turn.
then come 11 plus,
was waiting outside the op. theater.
and then went in.
lied down, had sth strapped around my arm,
and the doc asked if i preferred to have an injection or
breathe in some kind of gas to fall asleep,
of course i prefer to breathe in gas.
haha..i'm starting to develop a phobia for injections, Trypanophobia.
my description is getting abit sketchy. sorry abt that.
and then the next thing i know after breathing in that gas,
i heard someone telling me "Cheryl, its over already."
they always pronounce my name wrongly.
they keep pronouncing it as 'Cheryl'. its supposed to be Cherill.
tat's why i prefer pple calling me PEIPEI.
haha..my throat was like painful la,
then i keep thrashing around,
thinking back now, i feel so embarrassed.
and it's nt until she gave me some water, b4 i stopped.
and i thanked her, but i doubt she can decipher wad i'm trying to say,
since she went, its okay, its fine now.
and was wheeled out to the waiting area.
and just lied there, and was like asking myself,
'they didn't give me aesthetics meh?'
'should be got wad..but why still so pain.'
haha..then when feeling somewhat better,
sms-ed dad to pick me up.
then changed back to my own clothes, and just lied on the bed waiting.
can't sleep, cause the kid lying a few beds away was so noisy.
screaming.
although the curtains were drawed, but can hear his voice and
the parents trying to quieten him down.
Dad came, and went to collect medicine
while Dr Elaine came to check,
before giving the O-K for me to go home.
it started bleeding near the extraction site,
so i had to bite on a cotton gauze for at least half an hr.
and then took cab home,
changed, and then went to sleep straight away.
and didn't wake up until its almost 8.
quite hungry cause i have been fasting for 6 hrs before the scheduled time.
and just ate some soft food on the right side of the mouth.
8:45 PM
