Anything but Ordinary

shattered...

today's the 2nd day since my knee surgery at CGH... the effects of the anesthesia is almost gone now and my appetite is back to normal....

yesterday was one hell of a day i've been thru....after registering for the surgery, i was brought to my bed where i changed my clothings( wore the disposable underwear for the FIRST TIME! hee~) then after waiting for about 45 mins, i was brought to the surgery room where i was later strapped up and injected with saline solution... as a medic myself, it's actually quite assuring for me to be able to recognise the things that were used on me...the machines, pads, needles and stuffs.... so i wasn't very afraid and tensed...
when the doc is here, i only managed a ' Hi doc!' before i was put to sleep by the nurse....she was friendly and didn't shove the mask in my face like the nurse that did to me 11 yrs ago for my appendicitis surgery!(yes! it was so horrible that i could remember for so long!)
i took few deep breaths and there i was.......in WONDERLAND....

the next thing i knew, i managed to open my eyelids abit and asked the nurse," Mee Cee! is my leg still there?" she laughed and replied, " dun worry, everything's fine..."

for the next couple of hours i was in a half-conscious state...i could reply whatever qns that were given to me but i just duno who's asking...(it's a terrible feeling!!) About 6 plus, when my bread and cup of milo is here, i couldn't get them into my stomach for longer than 5 mins....after i ate them, i vomitted all out.... yucks!!... the nurse then came and told me i had to leave cos they're closing the day surgery department(they should have kept me there for 1 night seeing my condition so bad!! )

so i had to push myself up onto the wheelchair and into my dad's car..(mind u, i'm still in a semi-conscious state...) but i was too shagged to do anything, i could hear my grandma and mum saying how pale i looked...so my uncle and my dad carried me from downstairs to my bed....(THANK U UNCLE AND DAD!! LUV U BOTH!)
i remained the sleeping position with a plastic bag on 1 hand(for vomit use) for the whole night.... and never did wake up(thanks to my mum's head-massage) till this morning...around 8.30...

as for today, i was woken up by ex-gf's sms that she's going to pulau ubin for a cycling trip with her bunch of frenz...(yes we still kept contact cos we remained as close frenz) and i told her she needs to bring extra clothings just in case...in the end she didn't! anyway it's her choice...(dun blame me if u got urself dirty!)
then, i went back to CGH for some lessons on using the crutches...learnt how to use them to walk up and down the stairs...pretty fun!
i slept thru the whole afternoon before riding my dad's car to town with my mum too....i stayed in the car and they went to get some stuffs.... after that we just go straight home....simple and boring...but at least i do get some fresh air!
that's all for my 2nd day...still got 20 more days to go! haha....
