This post is titled I need money fool! by author SoulJah. Yes, I'm helluva broke... Makes me think twice about splurging on my friends and the missus... But ah well, a man's worth is his friends or stuff like that...

Let's see. What have I been up to. Ah yes. The operation. The operation to remove that weird thing from my ear. Man, I've had that thing (cyst maybe?) since, like, ever. It was like on Monday, the 24th, which I was supposed to have my Computer Systems Architecture test on the same day. But yeah, I had a letter from the ENT or Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist Doc to inform the lecturers so it was all good. Also helped my friends to understand some concepts the previous night so at least that got me out the house and that also got me to think about things other than my impending operation.

So I got into the ward at 7.45am right, and I was told to go to bed number 13, (lucky 13!) and change my clothes to those god awful prison garbs. Then proceeded to wait. And wait. And wait. And wait. Then my friends came over to tell me about the god awful test that they had, so it was cool seeing them. Then like, I don't know, 10 minutes or so after they left, the help told me to get ready to be carried into the operating theater.

So got ready, got on the carrying bed, and was pushed all the way to the theater room. I'm telling ya, the feeling of looking upwards toward the ceiling, as if your field of vision is limited, and whats more, I was naked from the waist under, so it was sure as hell I ain't gonna be running from last minute nerves. Got into the waiting area after being asked some standard questions, then again waited.

Just as I was waiting, there was another person being operated on just adjacent to the room I was in, which will be my operating theater after that. I was listening to the heart beeping thingy singing its merry rhythm, when I heard that apparently the surgeons were finished with their jobs. That's when the scariest sound you can ever hear in an operating theater was echoing loudly throughout the room. The sound of silence.

I was like freaking out that the old man was not responding to the doctors plea to breathe in heavily. I was just about to get up when I reminded myself that my butt is pasty white and I'll look ridiculous running away. Then the sweet sound of the heart beeping thin started again, and I was helluva relieved.

After the old man was pushed out, next it was me. I was then pushed under the bright lights, and prepped for the surgery. After some local anesthetics was delivered to the skin around my ear lobes, I began not to feel my ear. Then without fanfare, the doc just punctured the skin of my lobe, then asked "Does it hurt?", answered no, then he continued merrily cutting away at the inner connectors of the cyst thing to the innards of my ear lobe skin. I'm telling ya, listening to the rustle of the scissor cutting away at my ear lobe is not something I'd like to hear all the time.

Then, the doctor asked me, "Do you wanna bring this thing home?", "OH YES! OH YES!" hahahaha. Yeah I get to bring it home! Then he put it in some formalin solution and then he sew me up and I was done. Not long after, I was pushed back to my ward. I then immediately took pictures so I can upload it to b0g, then remembered that my friends brought me some cigs. I immediately put on my pants (very important) then started for the door, making sure that the nurses doesn't see me (and stopping me from smoking).

Got home at 6! Yay! I was sure as hell not gonna stay over there at the ward. It's so damn depressing and that place is filled with bacteria, you just can't believe it!

Oh that b0g post? http://www.b0g.org/wsnm/news.php?artc=12419. I'll post all of the pictures from the day to a directory and serve it all out. Uploading pics one by one is a helluva bitch!
