Thank You

For all of you who left me a comment, email, text message, twitter tweet… and who called me! It made my day much brighter. As you may all know, I went through a mini surgery -nothing serious at all- to remove some fatty tissue on my upper left eyelid. It wasnt as painful as I expected, but I experience huge discomfort that I wanted to throw up few times through out the procedure itself and the remaining of the day

Do not read further if you have a “soft stomach” otherwise, go on….

I was basically taken into the treatment room. The nurse used some kind of eye drops and ointment to numb the area. My dad was with me at the time. I was told the doctor will come in to INJECT the area after 10 minutes or so. The doctor came in and asked if my dad could wait outside because it wont be a “pleasant sight”. I wish I did not open my eyes to see how big the needle/injection was :-S

The doctor took his time injecting that tingly thing to numb the area even more. It felt like forever. Then he flipped my eyelid and placed some metal tool on my left eye to keep the eyelid still… something with screws or whatever! :-S :-S :-S I could feel everything, it wasnt painful because it was numb, but the feeling in indescribable! YUCK! When he was done he took that tool off and examined the area and was like.. we missed some lets flip it back again! :’-(

My feeling was beyond imagination at this point! I was so tense and wanted to get the thing over with… till he said its okay now, took the metal thingy off and my eyelid automatically shut close… I tried to open my eye only to realize that there was blood in :-S

Then they kept pressure on the eye, covered the area with a patch… and voila! Captain Ansam, the pirate, is ready to go! As I was walking out to get the paperwork done, get the meds, and some water… The line at the cafe in the hospital wasnt long, but the baristas were taking forever I almost fainted standing up! Thank God for having me papa with me

I was told to keep the patch for six hours, but I kept it for eight… when I removed it, my eye looked a bit swollen and red…. kinda looked sleepy too with my eyelid hanging down… the wound started bleeding again, I got queasy again but held it up okay! I took the meds and then went to bed. Woke up with a swelling, but its purplish today… it started bleeding again so I went to AlBahar and was examined again and given antibiotic! I am hoping it will all go away tomorrow!

My eye still feels weak and the stress is all on the right eye, so I am taking it easy! It took me some long hours to write, save as draft, edit again… and post this post! So ignore all the spelling and grammar mistakes please

I also have so many posts lined up that I plan to update and post this weekend. I will be back on track in no time and make up for the past few days

Again… Thank You!
