Back in hospital.....

I checked into hospital on Tuesday, and had 2 awkward days wondering what I was doing there when I was completely healthy :S

Then the surgery was on Thursday morning, the last thing I remember before my eyes closed was about 8 doctors doing different things to me (attaching tubes and monitors...), and then I woke up with some tubes still attached.
The worst one was through my nose, down into my stomach!! It was against my voice box so I didn't want to try to talk.... I kept gesturing to the nurse to take the tube out cos it was so uncomfortable and painful (I can still feel it now!!), but she said I had to keep it another 2 hours!!
So I recovered from the general anaesthetic faster than they had ever seen!! And she took it out after only 15 mins. :D

I was in hospital 1 week and was lucky enough to have so many visitors and flowers and gifts.
Paula (Colombia) and Andrea (Brasil) were my first visitors (see photo above), and they came with flowers and ice cream! I love these girls!

So I'm home now, I still have stitches but the pain is almost gone. The stitches come out on Friday!!

I'm so grateful to everyone who visited me in hospital, or sent me messages to my keitai.
Thank you so much!!

This week in my life......

My health check on Friday was perfect, so my surgery has been planned for Thursday.
I have to check into hospital on Tuesday cos if I get even a cough, they will have to reschedule- which I can't do cos I won't have time when my classes start.
I will be in hospital at least 7 days at the Kagoshima Daigaku hospital. I'm gonna be incredibly bored so to my friends: "please come and visit me!!!"

Onto another topic, Friday night was Kusa no Hana night as usual, but it was also the birthday party for Anderson, Pepe and Sayuri. It was a really good night, I was out until about 3:30, and as always, I had to work from 9am the next day. I don't know how I got through that day!! 
Last night, I was planning to have an early one, but Myjanne called me about 10pm to ask if I wanted to go out for drinks.... and so of course I did.... 
How many times have I said "I will never drink again!!"? Well I won't for a while anyway...

Back to hospital...

My wisdom teeth have decided that now is an appropriate time to put my life on hold and clean out my bank account.

After going to 2 other dental clinics that were too afraid of legal costs if anything went wrong with operating on a foreigner, I finally found one that would do the surgery.

Yesterday I went to Kagoshima Daigaku Hospital's dental clinic.

Three X-rays and a CT scan later, it was decided by a group of about 5 doctors that the surgery needs to be done ASAP.

We've decided that the best way is by general anaesthetic- that way they can take out both bottom wisdoms at the same time.

The only catch is that I have to stay in hospital for a week!! As I'm living alone and would be strictly forbidden to do anything that might be recognized as taking care of myself.

So I have to go back to hospital tomorrow for the check-up to make sure I can handle being knocked out, and then we will work out the best time to do the surgery.

The good thing is that I'm on uni holidays right now, so the only thing I'll miss is work. But I'm sure my bosses will understand......
