Wisdom Teeth Extraction (28 Jan 09)

In preparation for the surgery, I started fasting (no food and drinks) since 12 midnight. I woke up in the morning around 630am and went to Alexander Hospital for the surgery. Reported at Ward 1 Level 1 as directed by the letter sent to me weeks ago. At the registration counter, was told to sign a few documents for claim purposes and then was led to Bed 14, told to change and wait for the surgery.

The nurse then led me to Level 3 for the surgery.  While waiting outside, was asked by 2 nurses and the doctor same questions just to confirm that you are sober. After the questioning, another doctor help me put on the IV. 
And ask me whether I have any questions about the surgery.  I asked her what if I wake up in the middle of the extraction? She assured me that there shouldn't be such chance. Went into the OT and the nurses and whatever you call them started working on me.  Not extraction, but the preparatory work. Sticking this and that on your body, was told to breath normally and to relax, I was shivering with cold. Then I heard the doctor to induce the medicine and thats all I remember.  The next moment, I think I felt someone tapping me on my shoulder.  When I open my eyes, I was already in another room. Once I woke up, the nurses pushed me back to Ward 1 Level 1 Bed 14.  The nurses came to check on me every 30 minutes to 1 hour, also to ensure that I had stopped bleeding. While helping me to clean my mouth of those bloody blood, it stain the blanket...

After confirmation a few times that my bleeding had stopped, I was told to change and get ready for discharge.  After changing, the nurse came and check on me again and told me to take a look at the mirror.  Haha... The next moment while looking into the mirror I bleed on the left side again... funny, the nurse was shock and told me to lie down again, clean and asked to wait for 10 minutes. Finally after confirming that bleeding had stop, I went to the registration counter for my next appointment and make payment before leaving the hospital for home.
