One of the most unforgettable days
I’ve just finished with my surgery yesterday afternoon. But before that I was required to be in the hospital at around 9am for some laboratories. Since I rode a taxi earlier, I arrived at the outpatient surgery before 9am. Then, after that I called up my friend and talked to her in my native language in which everybody was looking at me (he-he). Anyway, when it’s my turn, the nurse called me up and asked me to leave a sample of my urine and so I did. After that she accompanied me to my small room so that I can wait for my doctor. I was in there before 9am and she arrived passed 11am which was just fine because I was able to sleep a little. After that, the nurse who served me prepared all the papers and then when everything was done, I was transported to the operating room. I was amazed with everything in there. It’s a bright room with all fluorescent lamps and equipped with high tech apparatus and all. When I was on the operating table, I was just awake for few minutes and then I passed out when the anesthesiologist administered the general anesthesia in which he said that he will put a breathing apparatus after he will do the GA. The surgery procedure was less than an hour but I was asleep at the first recovery room for I guess more than 2 hours. After I was feeling a bit okay, I was transported to the first room in which they said it was also the 2nd recovery room to consume all of my IVTT. In there, the nurse asked me if I wanted to eat something or drink. So, I told her that I want some cracker and a hot water. When the nurse got back in the room, she brought some crackers and hot water. I just ate a piece and drink all the hot water since I believed that hot water will help me feel better compared to cold drinks with ice in it. After the first cup of hot water, I asked for another two cups. I was feeling relieved despite of the two wounds that I had. After everything was okay, and when my husband called me up to fetch me, it’s then the transport in charge sent me to the exit door so that I can go home. Before going home, I asked that if possible, I will buy some medicines to relieve my pain. And that was one of the unforgettable days of my life.
