Damn
The doctor's just
Finished telling me
There's no time
Losing you could be the
End of me and that
I should do the things
That I wanna do, how could I
Without you

Yesterday night... Or should I say this morning... I had an operation. It's minor. IT INVOLVES NEEDLES!!! Apparently, at around 6.30 pm, wonderful little me decided to buy some bubble tea. And when she exited out to go home, she forgot that a car has 4 wheels. She let the first two pass and took a step forward. Man, I'm awesome.
Anyway, since I ran into the car, Murphy's Law implies that the car will run over me, and it did. Over my big toe in fact. This is despite the fact my second toe is longer and weaker than my big toe. On with the story, I eventually ended up in A&E in Parkway East Hospital. The people were nice, amused at my situation, but nevertheless, IT'S A HOSPITAL. I found out I shattered my bone into 4 pieces. Apparently gravity plays a rather large role in the weight of the car over my foot. Anyway, I ended up needing toenail stitching and K-wiring, meaning a huge-ass wire will be inserted into my foot to stabilise it. I was also warded one stupid night in the hospital.
For the surgery, I had a lot of needles poked into me... ;_; In fact, when the doctor was injecting the anesthetic into my toe, he asked if I was in pain. The nurse whose hand I was
strangling holding, replied dryly, "My hand is in pain." XD Oops? Anyway, after the injections, everything was pretty much fine. He simply pulled out my toenail and was about to insert the wire, when I found out something. Only half my foot was numb. XD Trust me when I say I DO NOT WANT TO FEEL THE NEEDLE WEAVING IN AND OUT MY FLESH AS THEY STITCH MY TOENAIL. So more anesthetic is given, and the wire was drilled into my toe. It is quite discerning to hear the drill and see the wire enter your toe via X-ray... And not really feel it. Thank God? Lastly, the doctor stitched my toenail back. While the toenail was removed to get rid of the blood clot, it has to be sewn back as the underskin is very sensitive. Eventually, when the stitches are removed and the new toenail grows out, the old toenail will fall off.
After the surgery was over, I was warded for a night. Zzz... Sleep was the one thing I wanted... And the one thing I could not have during that one night. I'm used to sleeping on my side or my front, especially when I'm in some unknown area... But this time, due to my WONDERFUL toe, I can't. So I couldn't sleep... ;_; Also, I had a sharp tube inserted into my hand... It is not comfortable at all, I assure you. Eventually... I slept a maximum of 3 lovely hours. The rest of my time was spent trying to sleep. =.= By around 3 am, I could feel a bit of my toe again. Yay. The first thing I felt was the wire. Slowly but surely, I began to feel my toe again. By 8 am, I can feel my whole toe, stitches and all. Yay. Luckily, by around 10 am, I was discharged and am now residing in Heaven on Earth, a.k.a. my room.

I would like to give special thanks to the wonderful souls that kept me company via sms. Really, I would not be sane (or should I say I would be less sane =/) if it weren't for these people.
A million gazillion thanks goes out to:
BMS(E), for all the sweet, amusing messages he sent to cheer me up. Thank you for your concern. ^-^ It kept my mind off the pain when I was waiting for the doctor.
BMS(I), for making me laugh and being the greatly-needed distraction when I was in the hospital. And also being available to talk when I just wanted to call someone.
I, for being one of the sweetest guys I know and encouraging me through the surgery, and even offering to visit, when I know you are not all that free yourself.
YX for just talking crap with me at 7 am XD when I couldn't fall asleep and was dead bored. Thanks for making me laugh too. =^^=
