For starters, I didn't know general anesthesia was THIS strong until I experienced it myself. I practically didn't know what happened during the operation. The only thing I remembered was taking 3 puffs of general anesthesia before falling into a deep sleep.
I was awoken by the nurses' chatter and realized I was sedated for 2.5 hours. I've never felt so weak in my life, had to use all my strength to lift my arm. I couldn't feel my lower lips either. The first thing I did was poking it and it felt rather foreign, like it wasn't mine.
Few hours later, the anesthesia wore off and that's when the pain hit me. It was excruciating!!! I was doing everything to distract it. I walked around, watched movies, listened to music until it hit my threshold of tolerance. I called for the nurse and she handed me this very strong painkiller named 'Arcoxia'. It relieved my pain after 15 minutes.
Went home and had my first meal of the day. Porridge. If there's one thing I hate, it'll defintely be porridge. Had like 3 spoonfuls of it and gave up. It tasted way too bland for my liking. Immediately proceeded with a Prima Deli Chocolate Mousse Cake. Hmmm... At this point, some of you may wonder how I even chew the cake. Well, if there's a will, there's a way. You'll figure out all sorts of techniques to eat it. I had fishball noodle soup for supper that day. =]
Guess I'm really the 'live to eat' kind of guy eh?! Not even dental surgical can stop me to eat the things I desire.
And that's the picture of the day for you!
