Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Today is the day where i went for my first surgery - Wisdom Tooth Surgery.

Reached National Dental Centre at 0730AM. Took my weight, blood pressure, temperature. After that, the doctor brief me and my dad regarding the operation.

Following that, i have to change to the gown. [ which was blue in colour ] . Waited for a while for my turn to go into the operation threatre. Oh ya, before entering , the nurse got spray e liquid into my nose to numb the area.

Upon entering the operation threatre, i was asked to lie down. Then the lady who is in charge of the anesthesia. She poke two needles into my left arm, den asked me to breath in some gas from the "oxygen mask" , after that she released the anesthesia in the arm. It felt as though it was burning. I "tahan" for a few seconds, then know my vision blurring le. Den after that i knock out le.

Once i wake up again, the operation was over and i was lying on the bed. Was pushed to the resting area for the anesthesia effect to wear off.

After sleeping for a while, the nurse came to change my guaze in my mouth. Den she gave me glucose water to drink, cuz i didn't eat anything for the whole day.

Soon after, my dad and sis came. Changed out of clothes and the doctor talked to me for a while and i am free to go. left there around 3 plus.

Yup yup... so overall the surgery was fast. Didn't felt any pain as i was sleeping. But now, i do feel some pain as the effect has wear off. I was giving anti-biotics and pain killers to take after every meals. But now also can't eat much. :( sob sob... hopefully will recover asap...
