was asked the same questions 3-4 times to make sure things are correct. was pushed to the anesthesia room which is just next to the OT. the anesthesia doc numb my left hand and put on the drip. thought it would be my turn soon, but heard the guy being operated in the OT was shouting pain and pain.. wah piang, he was shouting for half an hour before they put him to general anesthesia. some nurses or dunno who ask me not to worry cos they only use local anesthesia on him, tats y will pain. my doc came to talk to me a while, said tat patient supposed to op for only 10 mins, in the end delayed 1hr+, wah piang, dunno y cok up sia. in the end, i waited till 5pm, cos i asked the person who pushed me in to the OT the time. the anesthesia doc checked my blood pressure then asked me whether the surgeron was my doc, i said no, then he quickly inject the anesthesia through the drip on my left hand. within secs, left hand started to feel weird and numb then suddenly i knocked out liao.
when i was awoke, its was already 7+, still within the OT area, they need to monitor my blood pressure all that before pushing me out. 8+pm then they pushed me back to my ward. parents were following. back to my ward, verina, wili, huiling, weijie and engwah were already there waiting. they bought me sunflowers. Thanks all! was damn hungry and thristy so i immediately asked for water and food. they watched me eat then left since they haven had their dinner also. was tired then fell asleep abt 10+pm.
then almost every hr was awake cos the opp bed old INDIAN man was groaning and shouting.. wtf, dunno wat he wans, the nurses also ignored him. until 4+ or 5+ in the morning, he also shouting, eventually the nurses found out that he wetted his bed and helped him to change stuff.
think 7+ or 8+, i fully awake liao. ate some breakfast then listen to my mp3. nurse helped me to wash my wound. my doc visited me at 10+am. 11+ went to rehabitation centre to learn how to use crutches and some exercises. sis came. waited for me, went back to my ward. waiting for the nurse to help me do discharge things. got my discharge medicine, stuff and appt, was asked to wash my wound at nearby polyclinics or GP every 2 days. went back in cab with father and sis.
in the end, forgot physiotherapy date was not fixed, called back sgh to ask the nurse to fix for me. then the nurse gave wrong date cos too far, need to book one with a week. at last at home resting liao.. with this big knee brace locked at 0 degree, a lot of movements restricted and very hard to sit, bath, shit.. got to endure quite a while ba.. hopefully can change the brace angle after visiting the physiotherapy this week. the crutches also make walking difficult, i could actually walk with no crutches but still better to use them for precaution. I will work hard with the exercises and regain the strength soon! Thanks to all who showed concern! Love ya...
