Remember last time I mentioned that I might be anaemic...? yeah, I went for blood test and the results came back, answer = NO... all my bloods are ok... just my cholesterol level is a bit... hmm ... naughty! keke...

Actually it's below the dangerous level, but the doctor said if i didn't cut down my fat intake, by the time I am 50 yo, definetely I will have high cholesterol... so...now I try to limit myself to have only once a week Chooks when I am working... haha..!!

I had my wisdom tooth removed on Tuesday, 24 feb 2009! It's not that bad as what I expected and was told... and I am the lucky one, only had one... so... the whole procedure done on the chair, yet, the facilities are very good, my blood pressure, heart rate are monitored all the times, and I have oxygen and nitrogen mask on all the times too.. have fentanyl and midazolam infusion plus local anaesthetic, and I was asleep throughout the whole procedure, but then, I can still hear a bit of the surrounding sound... and it only lasted for less than 1 hour including the recovery time.. Jason was with me for the recovery... and I was still a bit dizzy that time, but after that was ok... keke... and I even went for harvey norman to get my camera back! *of coz, I was not the 1 who drove!!* the nurses and doctor are good too, they called me twice after the surgery to follow up, so professional! =) I would reckon my friends to go to this surgeon.. Dr. J Herbert! :)

Oh yeah! for the swelling wise, hmm... out of 10, maybe I will say 4 or 5?? not really bad, just the first day, felt kinda weird as the local anaesthetic hasnt gone away, so I can feel the numbness on my left cheek and chin... as a good patient, I rinsed my mouth with warm salt water, brufen three times a day to reduce swelling and antibiotic three times daily dosing. My pain threshold is quite high, so if u want me to rank the pain level I experienced, out of 10, i would say, less than 4.... I had porridge, the next day I can start chewing slowly... and the 4th day, normal intake! keke...
