Last Friday morning, I’ve been to 2 clinics and a hospital. First I went to dental clinic at Precint 8. The hospitality there was very good, not like what others told me. Since my case is quite complicated; involve a surgery and what not, they referred me to dental specialist at Putrajaya Hospital. The staff and the dentist at that hospital were really good and friendly too. Again not like what peoples used to criticize before. Went back to my private dentist for the x-ray film in which I was told can be done for free at government hospital. Tsk…
All my wisdom tooth need to be removed so I was given 2 choices; to do half-half (upper and lower right and upper and lower left) with local anesthetic or all at one go in which I would be given general anesthetic (totally unconscious). It’s hard to choose but I opt to remove all at once. It’ll be a great pain; both side but only once. If I choose the half-half procedure, got to suffer twice.
So the date was set and it’ll be on this coming 26th. So fast huh, I thought if with government hospital I got to wait longer but apparently the services is improving. The night before I would have to fast and register at the day care center in the morning. If I came early then I would be the first patient but if not have to wait la. Normally there would be 4 surgeries a day and if everything goes well, by evening I can go home already. But if I’m not the first patient or if I got any complications after the surgery, I might have to be warded that night. The nurse told me that normally they would wait till the patient conscious, pee and what not before being discharge. Just like my acute appendicitis surgery before. The nurses would be asking either I have pass gasses quite few times. I didn’t know why then but I know why now; it’s because they pumped gasses into your body during the surgery so the organ would be a bit loose, thus easier to be operated on. But I don’t think mouth surgery would need that.
To be honest, I’m quite scared la. Didn’t know what to expect but for sure there would be great pain after. How to eat, how to brush my teeth, how to talk? Must be really painful huh. Takutnya… Please pray for me ok.
