A scary new experience..

I have been postponing meeting a surgeon cos i never never want to do surgery, no matter how minor it is.. But in the end, i did go to the Subang Medical Center (now known as Sime Darby Medical Center) to meet a surgeon there..

The D day came on Monday after meeting the surgeon a week ago.. I woke up earlier abit to eat something light cos i was supposed to fast since 7.30am. Then, i decided to continue sleeping since i only need to go to the hospital at 12..

When i reached the daycare surgery center, i saw many people waiting at the waiting room.. Some are wearing the hospital gown, some are probably the patients' family.. About 12.30, i was called into the daycare room and changed into the hospital gown.. Boy, i felt so naked in it@@"

Then they started asking all the routine questions about my health, medications, allergy, etc... At that time, i met my anesthetic doctor.. At 1st glance, i thought he was a patient's grandfather.. He looked old and his movement was very slow.. Even when he speaks, it's all so low and slow.. I kept looking at my nurse when he introduced himself as my doctor.. When i realised he wasn't joking, i was like "Uh oh..."

After getting all my health info, they asked me to rest on one of the bed and i was given the only magazine that probably suits my age, a malay magazine.. So for the longest one hour, i had to read about "sumbang mahram" and listened to a young boy at afew beds away crying and screaming "Pain! Pain! Very Pain!" That made me feel "better"...

Finally almost 1.30pm, another nurse came and asked me again about my health and medication, then help me wear on a look-like-shower cap.. After that they pushed me on my bed into the operation theater.. On the way there, i saw another operation theater which room was opened, and i saw a patient there with all kinda tubes and wires stuck in the mouth and body. That was another "comfort" to me@@"

When i reached the operation theater, i dragged myself to the other bed and they start putting wires and stuff on me and i met my anesthetic doctor again.. I was really scared then.. My hands were ice cold that i heard the doctor joked that my hands are like "batu ais" They tied up my legs and put something cold under it.. And my surgeon came in that time and said "hello" @@

Then they wear on the oxygen mask for me and soon i heard the anesthetic doc said 'he is gonna inject me now' and he slowly counted one, two, three.... And my vision slowly blurred and i guess i slept..

I was awaken by one of the nurse.. I felt drowsy and a painful stab at my arm... She pushed me to the daycare room and asked me to sleep but at that time it was too painful that i forced myself to open up my eyes and see my surroundings.. Soon i was wide awake and so they gave me a painkiller to control the pain.. It seemed that i had slept for an hour after my operation.. Once the nurses saw that i'm no longer drowsy, i was given a cup of milo and then i changed into my clothes.. Then they put me on a wheelchair and pushed me out where i finally got to see my dad and baby sister again =)
