Recovery phase
Thank God my surgery went well! (:
i could hardly sleep on the night before surgery (well, i guess its normal). Was worried of cos so i got up at 6am for shower and prepare for surgery. My family members came shortly after and they followed me all the way to operating theatre. I tell you, the feeeling can almost be related to those you saw on typical dramas. on the side note, the operating theatre is kinds different. not much equipment and gadgets as those you see in drama. It a room painted glossy white with a bed in the middle and those operating light and buttons on the wall. hmm. sounds like spaceship ? and i was with 4-5people before my surgeon even came. was chatting with them will the he gave me2 shots and i concussed without knowing. wts! its a cool experience.
\\\\8pm//////
the next moment i rmb was having so many family members surrounding me as i only can see heads and me pulling the tube off my nose. IT IS SUPER IRRITATING! i dont know where am i, i cant see their faces clearly, i talked but no sound came out and got this goddam irritating thing stucked in my throat through the nose such that whenever ibreathe, it went a little further into my nose and down my throat and obstruct my breathing! was so fustrated and agitated until the nurse could not take it and plug out the tube for me and i immediately went back to slp. Those memories... are so obscure.. It just seems like a superdrunk state and hangover.
\\\\2am////
the next vivid moment was 2am. i woke up feeling thirsty and i called for the nurse. the funny thing is, i was feeling thirsty, i drank, i vomitted and i called for the nurse to feed me water. this cycle went on till 5am.. haha.
the next day afternoon, i looked at myself, 6 holes from injection on my hand, 1 big cut at my groin, 2 small stitches in the middle of my chest , 2 holes in my neck swollen, 2 drainage tubes - one in my private part, one under my right armpit, and my whole right chest is bandaged. how coool is that
despite all these, i considered the least wounded as compare to those who had a big and long cut right in the middle of the chest. i was more fortunate. Given my age, im able to heal a lot faster than normal. 2nd day after surgery, im already walking down the aisle of wards for my physiotherapy with some aid. and 6days after the surgery, im discharged. Maybe becuz im young or my heart gets very excited as its healed, my normal pulse is now 120++.. i dont know whether its normal though the surgeon said it will be higher than normal but this high?? im not sure.. i also had numbness in my chest area and my legs. im breathless easily too and i didnt know that passing motion and changing of clothes can be that tiring. after those activities, i will immediately lie against my bed and catching my breath before i walk out of the room to watch tv. hope i will really recover fast and regain my normal health to start my normal activities again.. i guess mayb i need a month..
but still, im really blessed (:
