Reached NUH at 9.30 this morning. Was given the robe to change into and laid on the bed by 10plus. Waited till 1plus before I was wheeled to the operating theatre.
At about 2pm, I was finally given anesthesia and the operation starts. At 3pm, the operation was over and they woke me up and wheeled me back to the ward at abt 4pm. I was told by my doctor that they managed to get the stone out from the duct in my mouth. I was elated.
However, at 5pm, the inside of my mouth and throat was very painful. Tears flowed non stop from my eyes. I got painkiller from the nurse at 5.15pm. And finally got to drink some milo. The pain only subsided at about 5.30pm. And it came back at 7pm!!! I cant take painkillers until 6h after 5.15pm. It was then that another doctor told me that they cut a hole in my mouth to remove the stone as it is too big. That's why pain is inevitable. I just have to tahan till 11.15pm to take painkiller again. And I have to ground the painkiller and mixed it with water to drink.
Discharged at 7plus and reached home at 8plus. Tried eating my cold porridge at 9.15pm. But two small mouthful caused the great pain to surface again. Drinking honey doesn't help. So I stopped eating. Even swallowing saliva brings about extreme pain. I guess I will jus drink COLD MILO for the next few days. What a torture! I wonder how to brush my teeth.... I think I rather have the cut on my neck than on the inside of my mouth. This is really terrible!!!! I want to cry!!
