The Surgery, and After
if i am not wrong the clock showed 19:48 when they pushed my bed into the operating theatre. then they moved me to the operating bed which was very small. lol. after that they gave me the anesthetic stuff and all. then one of them covered my mouth and nose with the breathing thing for oxygen or whatever gas that was in there and asked me to take 4 long breaths. i took in 4 long breaths and didnt feel sleepy. so i just kept taking long breaths. and i thought to myself: "okay i cannot close my eyes because if not they'll think that i've fallen asleep and then they'll take the oxygen thing away.." and that was the last thing before the surgery that i remember. lol
and then next i woke up crying due to the excruciating pain at the side of my right leg, near the ankle. then a woman's voice telling me that she was going to give me the 3rd shot of morphine. i wanted to tell her that i could still feel the pain but i couldnt speak. i couldnt even opened my eyes properly. so i just kept on crying. and the nurse gave me the 4th shot of morphine.
after that i settled down a bit but i could still feel the pain so i was still in tears. so the nurse asked the doctor there if it's ok for her to give me another shot. so yup, in total i received 5 shots of morphine after the surgery.
5 shots of morphine was bad. i didnt know the exact amount but the morphine made me puke like 5 times after that. and considering that my last proper meal was like 14 hrs before the surgery, i was just puking out saliva and whatever juices that was in my stomach. how fun. oh and i think the morphine was also the reason why i just slept for hours the next day.
