ilovehospital?: My beautiful body

I was wheeled into the operation theater.There was a thermometer on the wall that read 19c.A clock read 2pm.It was very cold.I was told to climb onto the leather like bed and put my buttocks at the edge of the potruding seat attached to the bed.3 or 4 people were extremely busy around me with tools and equipments.My anesthician Dr Samuel Yu(a friend)a ssured me there will only be slight pain.he took my left hand and very quickly put a needle into my veins.I was fully awake and the pain was unbearable!The Dr.Sam announced that he will now put a liquid through the needle which would cause a 'slight discomfort'........i could have died from the pain running into my veins!I could fill this cold stinging liquid running up my arms,into my shoulders.....Dr.Sam said 'You should start to feel sleepy...' before i could fully reply him,i passed out.(Probably fainted from the pain).

Laparoscopic surgery.

This is an ovarian cyst seen through a camera pierced through my navel.The red ball is my uterus,the whitish part i think is my ovary and the cyst(the darker looking ball) is attached on the inside part of the ovary.The clamp is holding onto my filopian tube.

I woke up inside the operation theater.My mind was awake and i could hear but not move.I heard them say to put my legs back down,not to be so rough on me,remove the tube from my mouth and asking me to breathe.Oxygen was given because i could not breathe,my body,muscles were still asleep.It felt easier not to breathe,i could have just slept.But people kept waking me and telling me to breathe ,breathe harder.I finally did.I was rolled out into the recovery area.I remember a lot of talking around me.I could barely focus,the room seem a little too bright.I looked at other patients on other beds.Mostly asleep.I went in and out of sleep.Couldnt make sense of time,my muscles wouldnt obey me and had trouble recognising reality and dream.Somehow my imagination of the recovery room was the complete opposite of what it actually is.I thought it would have been a quiet room,with soothing music,a place where i would awake back into the world peacefully.It should be.
