I finally went for my wisdom tooth extraction operation today. Before that i dont really feel nervous or scared, but at the operation theatre, i was really overwhelmed. Luckily i opted for a GA surgery, if not i would have like kept crying.

First is that tube inserted into my vein thingy. It wasnt pain, just an ant-bite really. But when i saw that the tube is stuck to my vein, my brain keeps telling me " there's a tube in your vein, there's a blardy tube right in your vein". And it got me very stressed and nervous. (haha i seriously dont understand myself) So i couldnt breathe properly, plus all that fasting (no food and water) for 8 hours, i nearly fainted. Ive fainted alot during pri sch, so it's the exact same sensation. Your vision became blurred, and you cant seem to breathe. Luckily for me, the doctors and nurses there were pretty alert and super nice. So they let me sit down, and calm me down a little. Im so glad i didnt faint, if not the operation would be pushed back again, which is super zz.

The second worst moment is when they inject the anaethesia through the tube. I thought there wouldnt be any feeling, but im terribly wrong. Its much much worse than that tube in the vein thingy. I felt damn nauseous, and i cant breathe properly yet again. But the amazing thing about GA is that you really fell into deep sleep immediately. I only thing i could remember is the doctor putting the oxygen mask for me. And i totally cannot feel a single sensation of pain during the whole operation.

It's the aftermath that's terrible. When i woke up, my throat is damn dry, and even swallowing saliva becomes a torture. Plus, what im swallowing taste like blood. (4 tooths to go, so lotsa blood). And for that few hours after operation, i kept tearing. it's not the pain that made me cry. it's the feeling of helplessness. so the nice nurses came over and comfort me again. haha, they must be thinking "hey, why that 21 year old so ma fan".

woah, im so glad it's over. never want to go into that operation theatre again. hated that feeling. right now, i just hope the 4 holes can recover soon. dear gum holes, stop spilling out blood, cos im not a vampire. zz
