Before Surgery--My heart was racing... 呼呼呼

姐姐买的AIR HUMIDIFIER

27th Dec. 9am. I did my 'virgin surgery' on the right side of my face. A cyst removal case. I am wondering why I was so careless that I did not notice this small hard lump in my face until last weekend. I have been a constant customer to facial massage and I wash my face every day but I never felt it before!??

Now the specimen looks very 'healthy'  with regular shape (like a small kidney bean) and smooth faced mambrane. I will send over to Ruijing for test.

Honestly I trust Dr. Hao a lot and it was really good experience to come to the office, drop my handbag, walk to the guest suite, change to the robe, and walk to the operation theatre under one roof. Sandy was there with her big smile. Still remember we had a good time at Sino-Aussie event. She is a caring girl as that day I left my cell phone on the taxi and she called right away for me to rescue it. The way she attended to the children was impressive- she was so sweet toned, and all smiles. We had a good time with Emma that time. Now she was there standing beside me telling me not to worry too much. "It is small standard procedure and soon it is finished."

I came in red cashmere sweater and set of garnet - gold earring and necklace to ensure a good luck. I had to take them all off and left it with Ying. She took a V photo of me. And the heart beat became faster and I felt a sudden thirst. Ying poured a glass of water for me.

Now I was in the light blue robe while Mia the super beauty nurse arranged Peter to push a wheelchair to fetch me from the suite. I laughed. Mia said we need to go by the standard procedures. :P That was so cute. But I can walk! So I walked towards the sterile operation theatre sliding door where I was requested to put on the shoe and hair cover.

After I enter,  I had to remove the pants and even the bra! hah...because there is metal. For the first time I saw that big shadowless light under which I am going to lie down. I felt a small surge of joy as 'this is gonna be a good experience' with Dr. Hao, the famous surgeon.' But when I tip toed and reached my butt on the small bed, I saw the steel equipment around me while the girls asked me to lie down for them to stick the elecricity-protection pad to my leg and confine my arms. That was funny! I felt like a dementia patient or a woman to deliver a baby. hahahha...

Now I saw Dr. Hao come in in green robes with mask. I felt contraction of muscles all over my body.  'Kid, do not worry. This won't take long.' So I deep breathed and closed my eyes. Dr. Hao pressed the small cyst from outside my skin and from inside my mouth and finally decided to do it from outside (via a small cut on the skin.) When pressed, the small thing really felt aching.

"OK, now I am gonna apply anesthesia and this will be a bit painful. After this, you will not feel nothing." And yet Sandy was saying " electric knife", etc. I felt so scared imagining a knife cutting in to my face. MY FACE! I could not open my eyes anymore while they put a layer of protection pad on my face with a hole in the center that focuses on my cyst location where Dr. Hao had marked with a 'X' sign. That is so cute...I was thinking... while felt a freezing breath. Now I felt the needle pirecing into my skin and that was small deal as I kept on thinking of how the surgeon stitched up the opening on brother's chin many years back. That was done without any drug while I had local anesthesia! So I felt brave and hopeful again. I could hear them saying "scissors, here, ok, scissors..." and all the questions on my mind was " when are you gonna cut me up??" Without much feeling except the feeling of something sucking my skin inward (towards my teeth) and small ache, I heard Hao saying 'here it is. I am glad I can track it out so quickly. Now take a camera and take a photo." hahah...Ok ...So i heard 'ka ci' and closer! 'ka ci'. Done.

Now it came to stitching. I could feel nothing but a small pressing after every 3 seconds and I guessed it is one stitch one press to make it smooth. And soon it is done. 'Girl, we are done. And we can get up now." I got up and saw my "kidney bean" in the bottle of solution. And I am so relieved!

I am very thankful to Dr. Hao. And other doctors who sat together with me yesterday telling me what it is about. Dr. Shen told me she can handle the rest if Dr. Hao is away. Henry Z. took photos of me in front of the operation room saying that is cute. Ying told me I looked like a kindergarden child with a big apron for meals... So the whole thing became so light hearted.

I never liked to rely on my parents anymore for any difficulties in life, even this one is not counted as one.

Congrats to myself for a successful first surgery. I hope the scar will be minimal. (Mom was not happy with my decision saying I should not do it until after marriage. LOL! But Dr. Hao said you are always beautiful and hopeful to find a good man. wa ha hah ..)

Cheers, JoAnne

SMS conversation this a.m.:

You are amazing jojo. Loved your story. This is my life in a nutshell.

-Glad you like my story. Just came out of metro city. Trying to fix my glasses. I stepping on my frame. LOL so dumb. ALso asked about lens...

-Question. My mom said men do not like talkative girls. Only showing air and  being reserved will be attractive. Is that so? And she said men like sophistication.

How many girls has your mother dated?

I like brillance and that you are. It is ok to show it and be yourself. I adore you.

-LOL. She is like that. Quite a lot of men like her. Still now. LOL I am very different than her. Opposite almost. Good morning to you.

Thanks for such a happy dinner. Your intelligence rages in a powerful mix with your sensual beauty.

-Wow. You can be a writer. You inspire me really.

You inspire me. I bask in your radiance.

-LOL. If it was not for our encouragement I would not begin workout. That feels great and help me to be skinny if possible. LOL (mission impossible). The important is the benefit of health.

You allowed me to see my own life again. My life is a series of powerful stories. It is that I embrace.

 

 

 

  

昨天心情差极了。我是这样形容自己的- I was like a walking corpse.

今天一早就被问-HOW IS MY DEAR GAL? WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES A DAY MAKE?我说-MUCH BETTER WITH YOUR SMS BUT STILL UNDER THE WEATHER. AND YOUR QUESTION-I AM OLDER!

然后回答是： YOU ARE RIGHT BUT YOU NEED A SPANK and I am just the man to do it ! wa ha ha ... That virtual IMAGINARY spank really amused me.

 

Anyway, I did yoga after lOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOng meeting with boss. It was great feeling to perspire doing power postures. I hate my 4-eyes. I nearly stomp on my frame. But still one leg got bent when I inadvertently stepped on one end. Luckily Lenscrafter is downstairs and I had it fixed right away. Looked around for lens... I am so afraid of lens through which might see a different world...

 

Came home listening to some light music on the radio. I felt much better and like Chia Sin said- You are Good. Move on.

 

I had Godly vegeterian noodle today for lunch.- 又是请客的 inexpensive and very very tasty~ yammi yammi

I had vegeterian buffet at 美罗城 for dinner.- 又是请客的 lol This time I tried to prepay. But still "I DO NOT ALLOW YOU TO PAY Joanne!” HAHHAHHA...

 

我是一个LONER, BUT I AM ALWAYS LOVED.

Funny PANDA PRINCESS- I found it in front of KIEA shop, from a vendor selling fridge magnets.

我的周末真得很丰富。周六10-4点翻译。浑身疼痛。完成，打呼一口气。我去了我一直没有时间去看的淮海路-尽管它近在咫尺，可是上周只有时间下班去GYM，然后回家路上走马观花。先去了GYM, 然后和WJ见面。真地很美的圣诞树， 尽管商业气息很浓。但是最好看的还是我们办公室楼下那大红的圣诞树。我喜欢激情的红色。我们又MET BRIEFLY DR. XXXXX. 得到了一些反馈。WJ是最有耐心地，听完了所有的话还帮我分析了一遍。哈哈哈哈哈。

 

周日我去买了一个新的浴霸，这样家人洗澡不会那么冷。旧的电热器又耗电又很“局部”- 烧烤似的。

 

然后我去看了阿太。很伤感。。。

 

下午，我拖着疲惫的身躯，一路前往五角场，（我在车上就是个缩着头颈的瞌睡虫！）去和CHIA SIN，阿姨和妹妹唱歌， 顺便带了我准备的礼物欢送KIM阿姨回加拿大。

唱歌--每次喜欢当听众，然后对歌词感慨一番，思绪万千。。。哈哈哈。。。那就是我水仙花涓涓。然后新的歌统统不了解-但是听了几句就好跟上了。我说和她妹妹的代沟还不太大呀。哈哈哈。。。

 

然后我独自去了IKEA。和去rene的婚礼感觉一样。I am such a loner. 好像那是小COUPLE周末的约会地方。就我一个人傻傻背着IKEA LOGO的环保袋，只身一人穿梭在与我无关浪漫和温馨中。

 

回来发现架子买大了。爸爸说：你不是说你很了解家里的方位和尺寸吗？上帝都要笑侬了！！  但是爸爸还是决定“将错就错”把它装在浴霸下面。而我买的冰箱磁铁，不知何时已经被妈妈自动贴到冰箱上去了。很团结的小家伙们。我有最可爱的家！
