For Money wise , financially still manageable, coz I can use my medisave $ to deduct so i did it without hesitation although i am not working ....the operation was successful, i went in for day surgery on 22 June @ 12.30pm and go back on the day @ 6pm. I went into surgery @2.15pm come out at 3.30pm.
This operation is known as medialization thyroplasty, I need to be awake in the opt as the dr need to fine tune the best voice for you.
Then inside i was covered with a cloth i can see but was given local anesthetic at the neck area. I was given a cut at around 6cm long, i can hear the operation equipments working on my neck. The burning smell.. (yucks.. like BBQ)..You can watch te video from You tube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vOxkEo1vrg.
Whoa i can say it's really pain!!!! Level of pain is 8... ('0') ouch!!!! pain sia... i feel like there is a pinch on your skin. keep pinching and pinching and the pain can go all the way to your head. As soon as i went back home i had fish porridge(very hard to swallow, pain!!) & took paracetamol.
