Slept pretty well, and up at 6am. I then sat around for a
while hating life and thinking I was going to die because I couldn't have
coffee. I got in the shower around
7:30. About 1 hrs. passed and the nurse
came to check my BP then I was given these crazy hospital uniforms for surgery.
I thought It would be backless gown and kurta but it was something else. A back
open top and a piece of cloth, hardly more than a towel. I took that piece of
cloth in my hand and tried hard to wrap that around me but all went in vain. Then
that nurse came again to get me. She started laughing at these unsuccessful efforts to fit that around.
She tied my hair with a bandage and helped me tie that towel but I’m
afraid to move freely, on each step I had that feeling that it is going to fall down.
My surgery fixed at 9:30am, we got there a few minutes early and they were
all ready for me. Went into the operation theatre, I saw anesthetist Dr. Aril waiting for
me there, he smiled and made me lay down on the table, inserted the IV and then
covered my face with a mask and that's the last thing i remember.

The next thing I remember I was awake in the Post-Op ward and one nurse came near asking to open my
mouth and announced if you eat this you could move back to room as if I begged her
to shift me. She fed some piece of biscuits soaked in black coffee. I hate
that, and when I refused she pulled her face. I was sinking at that time
otherwise I swear I would've smashed her face for feeding me this kind of crazy
things and making a face like that. Dr. Aril came near me and asked how you are
feeling Sherin, I replied fine sir. He smiled again; his smile has a encouraging effect. I feel relaxed. After a while that nurse again shown up with an
announcement that I’m going to shifted to my room. I wish to sleep, calmly
without any disturbance so place is not a problem right there or on my room I
thought. I was missing my mom and sister, they didn’t show up yet. At
Ananthapuri they are allowed to see me on Post Op Theater, then why not here I
thought. Right then they shifts me to
room. My mom and sister were there waiting for me. After that nurse settled me there I asked my
mom Why didn’t you visit me there, I was missing you. Then mom raised her
eyebrows in wonder then she told me that she came to see me there and talked
with Dr. Jayakumar about my surgery. He said he did his best and when she came
near me, I hold her hand and enquired about my sister. I don't remember any of
that, don’t remember how they wake me up, don’t remember how I reacted to that,
and don’t remember seeing my mom. Only I remember Dr. Aril asking me how is you.
On a scale of 1-10, I would say my pain level is a 1. And that 1 really isn't even pain, it's more
just discomfort. I have things that resemble
tampons in my nose. I have a cast on top of my nose and taped
to my face and splint inside. i I have to mouth
breathe. I wasn't much bruised yet just
a little bit and a bit swollen too. When I stand up, I feel a little
wobbly.

I told nurse I had mucous coming out my nose and she gave me a cloth to wipe them and it was actually blood, falling like thick tears from my nose. This didn't really bother me as i know my nose is totally bruised. If i didn't know this then i would have been totally freaked out as no one told me this might happen. But I'm not in pain. As far as
swelling and bruising goes, I have just a little puffiness around both eyes,
but a big black eye has formed under the right one. The nurse said the swelling peaks at 24-48
hours though, so I have that to look forward to I guess. My hair are stick together as they gelled them and it gives a shocked effect. I lay in bed and relaxed for a while, my throat felt it had razor
blades overtime. i swallowed, as i had to continually breath through my mouth.
- I slept with bioline on my lips which helped.
