Post Surgery

I had done my 4th surgery (Left  axillary lymph nodes dissection). I was admitted on the surgical ward on Thursday.. and went into the operating theater in the afternoon. It was not a long surgery only 2 to 3 hour. i could remember that, i was already vomiting the anesthetic out  when i was in the recovery room in the Theatre and I heard my collegue said.."Ping is vomiting.. suction please..." and i remembered that they changed my posiition to the right to do the suctioning but i was in the total drowsy state.


I wpke up at 4 30 pm and i vomited again. I heard my sister calling nurse and they gave me injection straight away. Next things i wake up.. around 7 20 pm, i was lying on the bed with my sister beside me and also my aunty Rose who came to visit me. i feel quite alright and i started to drink small plain water.. but i was thirsty... i asked my sister to make me a warm Milo. when she is not around going down stair, i drank much and no one is around me. Once again i vomited to the floor. Other patient family members was there and they had called nurse to help me.


The next morning.. i wake up at 2 am and also 4 am.. to see my colleague working and talked to them that early morning. They are busy. I just brushed my teeth and have my breakfast.when the doctor reviewed me.. at around 9 to 10 am.. my surgeon look at me eating.. talking and I was discharged.


One things surprised me... actually there are 2 surgery should be done..1. Left axillary 2. Left Neck... but the lymph node become disappeared during the operation. The surgeon asked me.. what happened? I said: Prayer and I took the Soursop daily. The swelling nodes as big as the Ping Pong ball size shrinking and become as big as 50 cent only. Overall.. the surgery is only small surgical procedures although it left scar...
