what next?

Ooo kay...
A stroke of good luck! I said to myself as I hurriedly closed down the lid of my laptop. I had not been waiting 15 minutes when my number was called. I had just turned on my internet connection and was preparing to blog, you see. Normally, I'd be waiting for 30-45 minutes or more before my turn came up.

Uh huu... what happened? I sat on the dentist' chair and waited... for an obviously new ortho dentist. Later on I found out that she transferred from Ranau to replace Dr.Alvera who is now in UK to continue her post-graduate studies. When she comes back in 4 years time, she'll be a specialist. Oh joy.. can't wait. (hehe)

So, I was the guinea piggy for the new ortho dentist.. She was hesitant, unsure of how to connect the powerchain from one hook to another. Golly, she even asked the nurse to help her retract my cheek so that my teeth and gums would be better exposed. I tell you... never have I felt so... so.. my cheeks deliberately pinched.. the doc telling the male nurse to hold on to the mosquito.. don't let go aa.. ok.. hold this.. this way... don't move.. Huh.. it was almost comical..
She was literally wiping her brow after the ordeal.

Anyway.. I was hoping to ask Dr. Fatimah some questions and when she came over to ask me how I was doing. I said, ok.. but impatient.

So.. Dr. Normah the oral surgeon has put my name on the list for the surgery which hooooopefully (cross my fingers and my toes) will be soon. There are about 4 cancer patients on the list before me. Of course they must come before me as their cases are much more dire and crucial compared to mine. The thing now is.. my surgery will probably take more than 5 hours and OT time allocated is only around 4-5 hours (so the doc said). The departments are taking turns using the OT it seems. Sigh..

1 hour later or so.. i was out, with new o-rings. Dark green. My next appointment will be on the 9th of June 2009.
