I got out of hospital today. In case you didn’t know, probably due to me not telling anyone, I had to have my tonsils (or something near my tonsils) taken out. I now suffer agony at everything that passes down my throat. Eating, I feel has always been a chore. Sometimes it can be fun, but mostly it is boring and takes too much time. Constant repitition and chewing and swallowing has now become even worse. It’s now boring AND painful.
Well, it was an interesting night. I went into theatre around 3pm yesterday, not really remembering how I fell asleep other than the anethetist saying to me that she was shooting some stuff up my arm so that I “wouldn’t remember”. I was about to ask her why I shouldn’t remember, but by then it was too late. The next thing I know, somebody is asking me if I’m fit and that my heart rate was too low. It wasn’t like sleep because you can wake up from sleep. It was this weird feeling of being unable to sleep and unable to wake and I hated it. But every 5 minutes someone was trying to wake me up and tell me stuff that I didn’t really care about. Was I alive? Great. Now let me sleep.
But it ended eventually and I managed to submit some comments toward the general conversation when my parents visited, although I did sleep between responses, so I’m not sure whether I was contributing anything valuable. After that, I spent a night trying to sleep and nurses trying to stop me sleeping by shoving things in my ears and cutting off circulation in my arms every hour. The lady in the bed next to me pressed her buzzer every 10 minutes, but still I managed to sleep.
Now today, I’m just hanging out, eating gingerly, drinking gingerly, walking around with a headache, but all in all feeling ok. All this for some sinus problem, but hopefully it will mean that my future will be snore-free. Not tonight though, I’m still blocked but I’m told it will all pass in good time. Just when I was getting in a regular habit of boxing and exercise, now I have to quit for 3 weeks until it all heals. Goddamn. Ah well, it’s all for the best. Now, for my early night…
