Hi guys,
sry for the long break… too many things happening (good things) and I haven’t really got the time to sit down and write. apologies on that.
as most of you would’ve seen from the last photo, my right arm is bigger than an x’mas ham. that’s the result of my recent surgery…
boy… surgery sure was a ride! first, i had to register my name n stuff at the day surgery centre. shortly after, they directed me to the holding ward where i’d change into the operating attire (funky lookin’ i might add) and clear my systems.
“sir what is your full name and IC number?”
“do you know what operation you’re going for?”
“mr. bruce lim, can i ask you what time did you stop eating from?”
“what time did you stop drinking from?”
“do you have any metal in your body?
“are you wearing any contacts?”
“are you wearing any jewellery?
“do you have a flu, cough or runny nose?”
“have you passed urine, sir?
yes… they asked me all those… A LOT OF TIMES!!! And the worst is, I get more nervous each time they asked!
Finally they told me that I’m going to the operating theatre… dumbass of me to say that i could walk there on my own… barefeet! of course, the nurse ignored that statement and wheeled me to there (pretty far away, i might add)
Things were cool in the theatre… A caucasian doc administered the anesthesia and he was cool… said something bout “gonna do the michael jackson, only difference is that he’s not with us anymore…” well that sure put my mind at ease… (actually i might have remembered it wrongly but the point is that he made an MJ joke that they understood)
stupid sam told me that the GA would be administered like a gas… well, maybe that was the case for everyone else but not me man! i knocked out even before they put anything on me… think mine was administered via IV instead…
so i closed my eyes and the next thing i knew, 3 hours had passed and i was being wheeled out… Apparently, they had trouble waking me up so I had to stay in there for a lil’ while longer :\
Was fine when I waited for the doctor… Til I started eating… somehow, i started feeling giddy and shortly after puked…
I continued vomiting for a while until i finally reached home… boomer much?
