Day surgery (wisdom teeth removal) part 2

Day surgery (wisdom teeth removal)

Today I got up at 5am, got ready and had some water (not allowed anything to eat after midnight before surgery and can't have water after 6am on day of surgery)

Went to the hospital with Mum and Dad for 8am.

After waiting and being admitted to the room, I had numbing cream applied to the back of my hands so I didn't feel the drip go in and had all the necessary checks done.

I changed into the hospital gown and put my slippers and dressing gown on.

I walked to the bit before you go into theatre; they took my glasses, gown and slippers and put the drip in, then asked me how I was etc and put me under general anaesthetic (I had to count to ten, can't remember how far I got though).

Next thing I remember is coming back round, asking for my glasses (as I can't see very well) and having a very swollen face.

I rested for a while at the hospital, got seen again by the consultant to check everything was okay, then I got given some medication for the pain, some gauze for any bleeds and some mouthwash to help with the healing. The nurse came and removed the drip then I got changed and went home to rest.
