A Post-Surgery Memory
So I woke up in a cold room. I didn't remember how long had I been asleep; all I heard was just the cardiograph machine beeping, indicating that I was still alive. I looked to my right, there was a nurse sitting in her desk, writing notes or I-don't-know-what. I felt my right neck hurt a little. The pain wasn't there before, so I was sure that the surgery had been done. The last thing I remembered was the operation room was freezing; even colder than this room. I had been lying there for half an hour or so, before the doctors rushed in, checking the marks the nurses had left on my right neck, checking my heart beat and everything. And then the anesthesiologist approached me and said, 'Okay, this is going to hurt a little...' and then that was it. I passed out.
And there I was, waking up in the next room with the beeping cardiograph, reminding me that I was still alive.
I guessed the surgery had gone well. My neck just hurt a little, and all my fears were not appeared to be true. I was not the one out of the seven hundred to be awaken during the surgery, which was a relieve. I saw my mom and dad waiting in the next room, which was another relieve. I looked at the clock, it read 9.25. Wow, either I passed out about an hour and a half, or the doctor was extremely late from the scheduled time 8.00 . Whatever. I'm fully awake now.
Well, almost. The nurse said hi, and she said that I could sleep for another fifteen minutes. That should be fine with me, I had not had enough sleep for a while...
This is the new me. And I needed some sleep.
I survived...
