Day Surgery @ CGH
5th March 2008 Wednesday (1500hrs) - A cold and rainy day
Accompany by my mum, we made our way to CGH(Changi General Hospital) for my wisdom tooth surgery. We took Bus 9 opp TPJC and made pass Simei MRT station and
then alight at CGH. The time is around 12.15pm. I was called the previous day to arrive at 12.30pm. Firstly, we went to LOBBY A and took a lift to level 3 of specialist clinic of a certain alpha but I forget what it was. I look for the certain clinic but it was not written which clinic I was supposed to register to so I went down to Specialist Dental Clinic to ask for the direction but they told me its just right of the lift lobby. So we made our way to the clinic. So I went in and ask the nurse. She told me that the day surgery wards have been shifted to elsewhere . It shifted to ward 27 at level 7 by taking the lift at lobby B. SIAN!!!!!!!!!!!Walk up and down the escalator. My mum complaining where the hell the place was. Never updated up the place that it have been shifted. Don’t know WTH the clinic nurse doing.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><<><>
So we walk pass the 7-eleven shop and through the main lobby and finally reached the day surgery ward. Sigh! Luckily, we arrive early and looking for the place took us around 20mins lah. We arrived at the counter at around 12.35pm. WHHHAHAHAHHHH!!!!!!!!!It is the 1st time I have been to surgery. Don’t know what will happen next. ……………..
I drop my appointment card into the clear box and wait for my name to be called and someone will attend to me. My mum and me sit outside the ward that allows patients to rest after their surgery. It already states it’s a one-day surgery. So no need to stay in ward.
I observed that those having the operation need to wear something like a operation robe or something. In my mind I thought no need lah.. Its very fast leh….. But all my assumption is wrong laio…………………………………………………………………..
When my name was called, I went to the counter that checked my particulars and the operation I am having. That it. I waited quite sometime lah………………………….the time was around 1pm liao.My mum and me sat on black steel chairs at the corridor. I waited for quite sometime before my name was called again. The nurse told my blood pressure and asks me questions like the time when I have my last meal and drank the last time before I come here. The time was around 2pm. The process of waiting took sometime as they were quite a number of people that were coming for operation today.
The nurse gave me a blue inner robe and a light blue outer robe to change. A disposable underwear. I ask her, “Change everything mean strip naked and wear only this”. She replied, “Yes”. Cannot blame me as it was my 1st time I been to surgery. WHHAHAHH!
Don’t laugh! Not everybody was as stupid as I am.
After I change in the washroom, I hand over my clothes to my mum and I told her to sit at the visitor lounge and watch TV and wait for me till the end of my surgery………….
As minutes ticked pass, I had a short nap in a waiting room and the time was around 3pm.
Another nurse to get ready for my surgery called me. Another guy named, (Benny) also was called together. We were led to level 6 of the operation theatre. It’s the 1st time I have been to the operation theatre. A bit scary……………………………………………
I was usher to one of the movable theatre bed and told to lie down and my head was covered with some disposable cap. Slowly, I was rolled to the operation room. You cannot image what it feel like as a person that was facing a big operation as compared to mine. It small case lah…. I was greeted by the doctor in charge , Dr Balshki. He was very nice.
Now for the process of my wisdom tooth removal. Continue to read further………….
Don’t Stop reading. Its interesting
As I choose to go under local anetis. That means going through injection to numb my jaws and cheeks. I will not be completely under asleep. That y I could tell you all the whole process. WHAHHAHH! Finally, the time had come. I was injected with several anetis to my jaws and cheeks. My right side of my face feel numb as time go pass. By the way, I am operating right side of my tooth 1st. This surgery was only half done only. The next time I go again will be operating the other side(left). As I chose local instead of general, which in turns removes all at one shot. Which I think it not wise too. Cannot makan at all loh. Operate one side better as the other side still can eat lah… WHHHWQHHHHHHHHH
Back to the surgery part, It takes about 1h and 10 mins to have the thing removed.
Surgery starts at 3pm and end around 4.05pm. Stay for 15mins for observation then could go back to the resting room at level 7. During the whole surgery, I could feel the doctor removal of my tooth and feeling the stitching of my tooth. ERHHHHHH<>>>>>>>>>>>
Some people may feel gross. I could not see anything as I was cover with some cloth across my face……… But got feeling lah……
I closed my eyes throughout the surgery. I burst with sweat and cold as my hands and feet could be felt by me. I cannot image my whole mouth covered with blood. The doctor kept talking to me and told me what he was doing now and whether the tooth have been removed. Not bad lah, he very welfare.
Finally, the ordeal ended. My face swell like some pig face and a sudden gust of pain arises after that. I was wheelchair up to the level 7 to take a rest lah. I was somehow like some sick patient. Lol! Lol! Lol!
I use my hand to touch my face. It is like some one side kana beaten up.WHAHHAHAH!
My mum saw me and accompany me. The nurse still ask me wan to eat anything as I point to her. Can I eat with my mouth look like this.., WHAHAHH ! I giggle……………
My mouth was stuff with gauzes to stop the bleeding like 2 hrs before removal. At round 5pm. I was greeted with a nurse which passed me the MC, time for removal of stitches and medication. I could get change and go home liao. My mum and me made our way to the pharmacy to collect my medication. Some painkiller, antibiotics. Mouthwash which could help subside the swell and pain lah.
Sian!!! I am advise to have light diet for 3 days and observe good oral hygiene in case of any infection to my tooth. No good food for at least 5 days and so. We took a cab back home… Tired and exhausted.
At home, I change to new gauze, which I was given and I took a short nap at around 6pmto 7pm. Then I have dinner, porridge as cook by my mum. 5 days MC and rest at home. I couldn’t go out and play…. SIANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Removal of my stitches at 13th March 2008 10.50am. Stay tune as I will bring you more updated. Currently resting at home and updating blog.
