So, I underwent a minor surgery on Wednesday. Had to reach the hospital two hours prior to the surgery to do the necessary check-in procedures. When the lady asked me if I wanted to pay a deposit, I said "Ok, how much?" and was pretty shocked when she told me "Three thousand". Eh, since when was $3000 considered as a deposit? They had to refund me money after I got discharged lo. Anyway, the operating gown was freaking difficult to wear. First, I tried putting it on myself but realised that my butt was showing and then my sister helped me...but I almost got strangled in the process. Finally, we called the nurse in for help.
After waiting for 1 hour, I finally got wheeled into the holding room, where I was asked at least 4 times by 4 different people whether the signatures on the papers were mine. I think that they dont trust me. Hmmmph! No la, kidding. One of the nurses even asked me if I'm still in secondary school. Oiiiiiiiiiii! If I can sign the papers myself, it means that I'm at least 21 already. 21 still in secondary school abit paiseh right!
Anyway, chit-chatted with the nurses in the operating room while waiting for the doctor to arrive. The operating room was damn chio can! The lights looked like half a disco ball and the radio was switched on somemore. As this was my first surgery, I asked one of the nurses how it's like to get anaesthetised. Guess what she told me...."Have you taken ecstasy before? Something like that." Ehhhhhhhhh!
The operation took less than an hour and in an hour's time after getting anaesthetised, I woke up, without feeling drowsy at all. The nurses even commented that I looked damn awake. -_-
The first feeling that I had after surgery wasn't "Ouch" but rather..."I'm freaking hungry". After starving myself from 8pm the previous night, i.e., no food and drinks for like almost 19 hours, I was seriously dying of hunger. The nurse gave me a cup of milo and told me that I might vomit it out due to the anaesthetia but...I finished it up. She then later gave me the dinner menu and said that I could order some soft food if I had no appetite. Look at the choices on the menu!!! Damn good lar~ Got Asian, Western and Japanese food. Actually, before the dinner menu came, my sister and mum came to visit and my sister brought LOTSA food along but my mum refused to let me eat them. =(
Dinner was alot of food to stomach. Main course, bread, miso soup and longan jelly.
Emince of Chicken in Brown Sauce. Damn fucking good. Got mashed potato somemore.
Felt a little bloated after dinner but couldn't really move around so I just laid on the bed and watch tv. After 2~3 hours, it was tea time~ So I stomached a piece of banana cake and washed it down with tea. Damn sinful can~ At around 11pm, my mum and sister came by again to bring me my facial foam and floss so that I could wash up before going to bed. My sister also brought along her Nintendo DS Lite where I played for a few hours before sleeping. I can never be a fish tycoon. Damn!
It was a little difficult sleeping in the hospital and I woke up every single hour. I had a little fever in the night but by the time I woke up in the morning, the fever had subsided. During the night, there was at least 2 blood pressure and temperature checks by the nurses. Wah...need to check so many times one ar!
Breakfast was served at 8am and I had cornflakes(yuck), a slice of mango, pastries and a cup of milk.
Watched somemore tv lying down after breakfast and pretty soon, the clock struck twelve and it was time for lunch. Lunch included miso soup, tea, fruits and salmon bowl. The salmon bowl was a little bland but hey, it's hospital food after all. Didnt manage to finish because my stomach was seriously bursting by that time.
Took a quick shower after lunch before packing my stuff and waiting to get discharged. So yup, end of hospital stay.
