How to survive a surgery ( so what if its minor )


How to survive an eye operation!

Don't know if I am doing justice by calling it an operation or a surgery. It was just a 15 minute thing.

Now, to know what a chalazion is, click on this
link. Unlike what the website says, I did not opt for the homeopathy treatment and went in for the surgical removal. Owww! Yes, it did hurt once the anesthesia wore off. But it was worth the pain. I am sure none of us want to carry a lump on the eye for the entire life.

Now, it hurts when the injection pricks your eyelid. And you can feel the pressure of the doctor's hand and the strange instruments he is planning to use to turn the eyelid inside out and take out the granuloma. Well, I don't know what granuloma is but that's the term the doctor used.

In 15 minutes, I was looking like a 1/4th mummy( as in the Egyptian Mummy). And then you realize what pain is..Once the anesthesia wears off, it hurts and hurts so much that only a combiflam can ease out those cells.

After that, sleep blissful sleep. When you wake up, you see your eye is not the eye you used to have. Its a huge speedbreaker on the road of your face.

And the same agony will be repeated next week too.
