Wisdom teeth extraction part 2
Ok, I'm still suffering and needing lots of TLC..and am glad to be having it from my bf. But I don't mind having more...hehe.
I woke up with my pillow case soaked in blood on Friday. It wasn't the blood that made me wake up, but I suddenly got "choked" by what I thought was a piece of "flesh". And that BIG patch of blood scared the wits out of me. I wouldn't expect myself to be bleeding for like 24 hours postop...it just didn't look right.
Called up the hospital, and was told to go down immediately. And my goodness, it was the same surgeon who attended to me. The corner of my mouth is so extremely tender that the last thing I ever wanted is for him to rip my mouth apart again.
Apparently, it was a massive clot due to some dunno what he put in there, and said the bleeding was because I have messed with the clot. That didn't sound very nice, because I wouldn't have done so since I was sleeping and there was no way I would be knowing what I did whilst asleep and also, why on earth would I go aggrevate a bleeding wound...
I wasn't too concerned since I just wanted to get it over and done with. He just suctioned the clot out, and got his senior to come and view me. I was mentioning about the bleeding and what they did to my lip which is hurting a lot, AND there wasn't even a "sorry". That made my bf really upset. And that wound at the corner of my lip isn't very minor, mind you.
Went to Boots to get Vaseline, which the surgeon said I can use to apply on the corner of my mouth. BUT because I'm having a doubt about their expertise now, I decided to seek advice from the pharmacist instead, and that guy said my wound looks nasty enough to be seeing a doctor and getting it stitched. Knowing how fucked up the NHS is here, I know by the time I get to see my GP, my wound would have probably healed 80%, so I decided to self-medicate. It's still very very painful at the moment with a lot of scabbing, but I'm sure it'll get better.
My internal wound is still sore, and I'm still relying heavily on painkillers, which aren't doing much help, yet I'm too lazy to go get stronger ones. Face is puffy too, but it is slightly better than yesterday. I made some advancement in my meals though. I only had strands of noodles (my bf tempted me when he was slurping the Mee Goreng) yesterday, but I managed to have a big bowl of kway teow soup today, despite taking 2 hours to finish it (I felt extremely irritated at some point since I'm a kinda impatient person). I was really touched when my darling took the effort to cut up all the ingredients into small dices so that I don't have to chew on them much. He also made "chawan mushi" for my supper when I got a bit hungry earlier on.
I can't express how touched I am, with the amount of love he's showering me with just when I need it most. He went online to search for recipes that will help in replenishing blood since I have been feeling pretty weak and giddy ever since Thursday. He made sure I get as much rest as possible, and offer his entire bed to me at the expense of his sleep. He made delicious food for me. He applied Vaseline on my wound etc etc etc. I feel like a baby princess! It just feels so good to be ill if I didn't have outstanding things like studying to do.
Was hoping to get some work done during the weekend, but just simply couldn't do anything cos I'm so extremely exhausted and that constant pain in my mouth and ears are bothering me to quite an extent.
Hope I'll get back to my usuals soon. :)
