4 holes in my mouth. No pain. Just feels weird
I wasn't really scared for the most part. Up till the moment when I stepped into the Operating Theatre.
Woah. It looked like a scene out of a TV show. the whole room was white, and there were those fancy adjustable lights above the, um, bed.
Lying down, I had the sudden realisation what could happen to me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anesthesia_awareness 0.15%! Woah scary.
The injection (into the back of my left hand) was just bit pain. Then my vision begin to blur, and I panicked briefly cos for I moment I realised that I couldn't move a muscle. Couldn't open my eyes, couldn't breathe even!. Scary. Thank goodness I'm part of the 99.85% statistic. Conked out almost immediately after I realised I couldnt' breathe.
Lalala. The wonders of GA. Didn't have to sit through one hour of agony. When I woke up I was facing some window. And I had two big wads of tissue I think, one in each side of my mouth. Felt really uncomfortable. Cos my mouth was dry also.
Lay down for a bid in the ward (did it at Gleneagles Dental Centre btw. damn ex, but ah well got referred there... ). Then I left at 12.30 ( the op was at 9.30).
It's been porridge day today! My dad cooks a mean porridge. haha. But I hope the wounds would heal fast enough and the swelling (my face looks round now!) would subside quickly enough for me to start chewing again! Oh and talk normally also (can only mumble now. Can't fully open my mouth. I don't wanna risk the wounds reopening). And sing! Hm somehow I feel I'll be able to open my mouth more fully. For the whole year I've felt that the two upper wisdom teeth have been obstructing the opening of my jaw a bit. Lol maybe now there's more space for resonance so can ring more.
Hm... I heard from some people that the pain will kick in tomorrow. Maybe that's why I still feel a little giddy? The lasting effects of GA? Dunno. But then again others say that there's no pain. Oh well. Here's to a painless tomorrow! I've got painkillers anyway.
