Passion is Thy Name!

We were quite a sight last night, or rather early this morning. In fact, it was super comical.
.
One oooh-la-la (read : high on love potion) guy and one sober but highly energised gal tip-toeing their way across the GMC lobby to go up to her designated room. 3 hours before the scheduled Op. As we made our way to my room, as discreetly as possible … the night nurse on duty took a look at us and said "Guess you’re really coming in early, huh? Like super early" followed by a smile and a wink. Did I say that the nurses and docs at GMC are super cool?
.
By the time I climbed into my hospital bed and received my good night kiss from Sweetheart, the clock on the wall was showing 5am. The last thing I remember seeing before I KO-ed was Sweetheart tip-toeing out of my room. The next thing I know, the nurse was gently shaking me awake to prep me for the Op.
.
Since I was not given any GA, I was awake the whole time. Even had a little conversation with my doc while he operated on me. Didn’t feel a thing after he gave me the LA but damn, the administration hurt like hell! "Just like an ant bite", konon-nye. It was more like a giant fire-ant sinking its fangs into me! Ouchhhh!
.
After that, numbness. Which is good. ‘Coz the doc showed me the bit he took out and I was shocked at its size. I knew it’s not small but I didn’t realise it’s that big either. Urgh. Keeping my fingers crossed on the test results later. Will know in a week. *pray*
.
It was all over in 15 mins.
.
I was sent back to my room and my doc came to my room shortly after to check on me. One look at me and he said "U are a strong gal. U seem to be doing well post-op. So, I will discharge you this afternoon. U ok with that? Or u wanna stay another night?" No need any lucky guesses to know my answer to that!
.
Then, the text msgs and calls started coming in. Told them all not to bother coming over cos I was really OK. Just sleepy cos I only had about 2 hours of rest the night before. Also, I would be discharged by the afternoon. Yayyy….
.
I think I dozed off ‘cos the next thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Sweetheart sitting on my bed giving me a wake-up kiss. We cuddled for abit and then, it was time to sign the papers and go home. Finally. Hospital beds are not really cuddle-friendly. :\
.
Called mom on my way home in the car to tell her that her beloved daughter has survived the knife (as promised) and is on her way back home to rest. Sweet mom offered to cook me some food but I declined since I’ve stuffed myself with the yummy fish porridge at GMC earlier.
.
Since doc said there’s no post-Op special diet nor fasting required, me gonna have some good food for dinner tonight. Yum Yum! Have a sudden craving for Claypot Frog. *slurp*
.
Drinks. I was damn kwai last night. Total abstinence since I wasn’t sure how the alcohol will go with the drugs they will be pumping into me for the Op. So tonight, payback time! *GRIN*
.
Thus ends the update of my little weekend adventure at GMC.
