I waited from 2pm till abt 5.40pm for my turn to go into the theatre. Thankfully, mom was with me all day. :) Dr Jacqueline Tan had kindly given in to my request that i really wanted to get over with it ASAP. So by mistake she had a overrun of 7 operations in a day instead of the usual maximum of 5.
I was no. 6, and naturally a little worried that she's too tired but reassured me that she once did a op for 15 hrs straight and it went well. :)
Yay, i survived! with temporary local anaesthetic, i couldn't feel a thing except a swelling feeling because they have to stop the blood flow to the lower arm.
Happy because Dr Jacq didn't intend to let me see the procedure anyway so i was blocked by a thick green cloth.
After some waiting, i finally decided to ask, "Have u already cut my skin?"
She cool-ly replied "of course, did u think i will still be sitting here, staring at your hand?"
Finally it was almost done, the nurse showed me what was removed.. A little different from what i had expected, like a piece of flesh. *yikes* Apparently the gel-like substance which i've read and was told abt, is only what fills up this "balloon". As Dr. Jacq explained, this is the reason why it became a recurring problem for me. It was also deeper than she expected, which increased the level of difficulty of the op. But it all went well ;) She's very experienced! Now we'll just have to wait and see how her stitching went when I see her again next monday to remove the bandage. :)
She gave me a 12day mc!! i'm so bored already and today's only the 3rd day... That's cos i can't do anything like tidying, or writing or cooking or going to the gym or swimming... :( just animes, movies and occasionally chatting with people. Sorry, i try very hard not to disturb but im so bored!!
I've become really good at typing with my left hand now except its really tiring on the arm muscles. :P Holding the spoon is also weird. :D
Lets hope all pain is gone too, but there's a slight chance of a partially torn ligament.. but we won't know till later. :) I promise to be better to my dear rightie~
