 Hmm...today's my 2nd post-op day. Haiz, why does it have to hurt so much. Anyway, here's what actually happened. I've been seeing flashes, floaters & distorted images for quite some time. About 5 months to be exact.
So, i finally went to yishun polyclinic on Thursday, 1st Feb. The doctor gave a referral to TTSH Eye Centre & the appointment was on Thursday, 8th Feb. There, i was diagnosed with retinal detachment & needed surgery to prevent it from getting worse. The operation was done on the next day. It was a 2hr+ operation i think.
I was very nervous when i was in the induction room. The anaesthetist set plug for me, asked loads of questions, & then left me to rest awhile. while they finish up the other operation. While waiting, i looked at my surroundings, my blood pressure reading, my heart rate, the drip, EVERYWHERE! LoL. I was so scared. Haha. & then finally, it was my turn. I was pushed in to the operating table, got myself comfortable & they finally induced me. I was feeling drowsy & went to sleep.
The next thing i remembered, i was at the recovery room. The operation was a success! I couldn't even keep my eyes open so I kept slipping back to sleep. LoL. Then a few mins later, i think, i was pushed to the day surdery ward. I was to stay there for 1 day. Mummy & daddy was there with me. Khai came to visit. Hehe. My parents went off at around 8+ but Khai stayed behind till 9+. Haha. I was half asleep when talking to him. LoL.
So now, here i am, typing with one eye covered. The aftermath of the operation is not fun at all! I felt nauseas, sharp pain in the operated eye. The more i strain, the more it hurts. Can't sleep at night, tossed & turned for a long time. When i finally get to sleep, i was awakened again, by the uncomfortable position i was in. *sigh* It was TORTURING! My eye is bloodshot red, & i've been tearing nonstop since the op. There's also 3 different medicine to put. *sigh*
I hope i recover fast. I hate being sick! I was given 2 weeks of medical leave, but, hopefully I can go to school tomorrow. Got loads of stuffs to do, meetings to attend. *sigh* Well, i'm gonna give my eye a break now. Till next time then. Mata Ne!
