The Experience

Yesterday, I mustered up the courage to go ahead with the procedure. I knew it would be painful but I felt like I needed to give it a try. The needles were the most painful part of it all and the rest was done in total numbness.

I did hear the surgeon's knife slicing my skin and it was not long before he started stitching it up. It was all done in merely minutes!

I had the chance to look at the fresh stitched-up wound today and felt so proud of the guts I had to go right ahead with the procedure! Never in my life have I had stitches. Let alone 4 of them!

I cannot wait until the stitches are removed this Monday to reveal a slightly better-healed wound. I hope the scar will go away quickly..

Oh, and here are some of the things I cannot/should really avoid doing at the moment:
- Talking
- Smiling & Laughing
- Sneezing & Coughing
Basically anything that requires my face muscle to move around my mouth and nose area. How sad..
So I've decided not to attend classes until Monday, in case I start talking & laughing too much that my stitches become undone and the wound opens up to reveal a crater of flesh in the middle of my face! I don't want that!
