My Wisdom Tooth

I had my wisdom tooth extracted last Wednesday. ALL FOUR!! at once. I was put under general Anaesthesia (put to sleep) and went for an operation. Was a little bit nervous but excited that morning. Hubby was feeling nervous than me. I was cheerful and jumpy as usual and he went.."Hishh..selawat banyak2..lompat2 mcm budak2"..Well that's me, nothing can change that.

Once we reached Alexandra Hospital, we went straight to Ward 1 - Day Ward. Did the registration and changed into the hospital not-so-glamour kimono. Then the staff nurse lead us to the Operating Theatre. Say goodbye to Hubby and went in.

Waited for about 5 mins, a nurse came and asked my name, IC No., when was my last meal, did i take anything that morning, make sure not even a sip of water and bla..bla..bla and she left. A few mins later, another nurse came and asked me exactly the same questions. And I unwillingly answered all the questions and she left. 5 mins later the doctor came and again asked practically THE SAME QUESTIONS! I was asking myself, whats happening?? Well maybe its a routine question that they need to ask and hope no more questions will be asked.

Then came another doctor, took my hands and tied my wrist with a band in order to insert a small needle into my veins. He couldn't find my veins! He began to slap, slap, slap my hand to get that vein appear and finally he did it and went off. Then a nurse came and brought me in with her arm holding my back. I wondered why? Im not going to fell off.

I went into the operating theatre. Saw the bed, the apparatus, just like we saw on tv. I was asked to lie down on the green bed and to take note at the clock hanging on the wall in front of me. It was 9.30am and I...errr..ermm..dizzz..zzzz..felt dizzy and saw the doctor putting the mask on me and there it goes...i dozed off.

Had a good sleep and dreamt of something but couldn't remember I was awoken by a voice. "The operation is over, can you please pull this tube?" I was in a dizzy state, half awake trying to pull the tube from my nose. Oh gosh, its a long tube that goes in from my nose to the throat to suck the blood and mucus from my throat. And I started coughing.

Then I was moved out of the O.T and to the observation room for a moment. Not so much pain and was trying very hard to opened my eyes. I was like on an on and off mode. Then was pushed to the Day Ward where Hubby was waiting. I heard the Nurse told Hubby that Im still in a dizzy state. "Dont wake her up". Yes I hate to be awoken up. Make sure he doesnt woke me up.

Hubby came beside me and looked and CRIED!..Im so touched. Hehe..i turned and sempat say.."Aper daaah..Emo" and I went back to sleep. No pain, I would say until a nurse came to change the gauze. Gave me an icy water to gargle. That's when the tinge came. The pain was really unbearable. I was asked to take a deep breath 5x and it works.

Dozed off a lil bit here and there and at 1 pm I was allowed to discharged. I just hope to stay there until 5 pm. Hehe. Got changed and got home. The services given at Alexandra Hospital was really a thumbs up. Friends, those who wants to extract your tooth, I wld recommend you to this hospital. Their services is really excellent! Five Stars!

And yess!! I am still on my Medical Leave. Im Loving it!
