d phenomenon called orthognathic surgery

The days after the surgery were mixed experiences of laughter, pain, shock, discomfort & fresh feeling of a straight profile. I remember the day when I & dad deceived mumma to go out for the surgery on 0530 hr on 4th june.
I was terrified with the feeling what if anything goes wrong.but time & again I kept on consoling dad that nothing will happen and I ‘ll be fine. Told dad 2 clear every doubt of his heart with Dr. Iyyer so that he’s not confused when surgery is on. Doc saab assured him that there is n;t any life risk involved & dad was relieved. They handed over the papers and I started signing them. I knew dad ll get emotional so tried to make his job a bit easy. Den sir intervened and said he’ s an adult he can sign but koi na get you (hospital staff) say he(dad) ll also sign. But I just handed dat in jiffy to dad got dem signed.
Now the feeling of getting the surgery done at will. The preparations had started I changed my clothes, wore dat surgical drape, got the canula fixed and started walkin towards O.T. no thoughts of disrangement were there. Though my eyes were lookin for pa and he was no where seen so I decided to come out of the O.T. I came out met tayaji mamji but pa ws nt there. I touched there feet n suddenly dad came n I ws relieved. I touched his feet, hugged him snuggly & went in.
O.T. was not a new thing for me but yes getting myself laid on dat very table was..wnd when I saw Dr. Iyyer ready wid his surgical drape n gloves d confidence became unshakeable. He
introduced me to DR. RK Singh (anesthetist). I wished him n he started wid his PAM (pre anesthetic medication.) I asked r u u gonna gimme propofol or what. N dose were my last words I cud feel myself sinking as I waved a good bye to doc saab.

When I regained consciousness, pa was wat came to my mind. After 15 mins of surgery, I hugged pa & enquired r u olryt? He was touched & relaxed. After 3 more hours I gained consciousness again- head heavy & saliva drooling with blood. Dad told me our decision was ryt for d surgery. I was euphoriatic. I got up and felt like some1 has stappled my lower jaw. There was heaviness numbness on lower lip & chin. I was dyin to c my face. Dad clicked a photo n showed. There it was a golgappa with a whooping amount of swelling on cheeks & neck. And then I noticed my lower jaw. Oh my goodness I had a straight profile. The moment is just inexplicable. Bleeding was quite a problem as I was prohibited from spitting. Sir arranged a special suction machine so dat blood can be sucked. I really wanted to thank him for all d pains he had taken so that our stay dere was comfortable. He came to see me with his wife. As she knew my mom is not around, she stood near my head & kept on giving those motherly slaps dat a mother gives to her infant. I really needed dat as I ws missin mom a lot. She asked shud she prepare sumthin 4 me. I really wanna say a yes bt said no. she gave a very different cooment “you look cuter now”I dint had ne words 2 react.
Till den, I just had a few drops of water. Now it ws high time that I had something. I was served wid rooh afza milk. I had 1-2 oder drinks too. V al partied al nyt. Though it ws d first nyt after surgery bt it ws al merriness that had enveloped. V were al guys dere, mamaji, tayajis, dad, a cousin n me. V had a g8 time crackin jokes, tryin different mocktails like pepsi doodh n al. n den bout 2 at nyt people realized its late, I shud get som wsleep. Though al of dem slept after dat bt I dint. After bout half an hour wen everybody ws plyin their nagaade at peak I woke up again, lit my table lamp & started writin a gratitude jist on pocket diary. D thankfulness was 2 d doc who gave me dis new look t akin cre of al my needs. Haha v writershave dis in our veins. It was not e1 16 hrs after my suegery n dere I m writin.. though it ws long time b4 I wrote last time around. But dat day dere was a certain amount of freshness I felt after undergoing complete paralysis of control over my body i.e. GA.
It ws like some1 has loosened d strings of dat tytly wired guitar n let it have a yawn of d life time. I was feeling as if woken up from an intense long sleep. It brought out d writer from within. I gave my pen rest soon wid d promise dat I ll writin a masterpiece for d man wen I ll get better. N dat masterpiece is pasted here too. D sleep gripped me n I ws right their in her lap. As I woke up I was waitin 4 sir 2 arrive so dat I cud give him my composition. I did so n he quietly put dat in his pocket. He was giving me some instructions but al my cerebral blood was concentrated in his pocket. Probably he was getting late.
The day went unsung as a normal day. Visitors came n went but d gesture dat doc saab took wid him dat night took too long to vanish. He was supposed 2 tie my jaws wid elastics. My mouth was open wid last molar colliding make it an open bite. So he had 2 push the lower jaw& bring d teeth in contactof the pre formed splint. The pain was excruciating and I was like having the pain of life time. The moment he applied more force I felt like he’s gonna tear al my muscles attached 2 d lower jaw. It was like some 1 has put a crane in top gear n pulling my jaw wid full might. Honestly speak I thought of & admired d ladies for d labor pain dey bear. It was so damn intense dat I was furious wid myself cz of decision for going 4 d surgery. They gave me VOVERAN (pain killer) injection. It dint work. Doc saab sadi it ll vanish gradually. I was constantly gripping d hand of my pa. dint let him go. Gradually d muscles started flickering over & above my ear. I asked dad 2 slighly massage wid both hands. He kept on doing d same for half an hour non stop.but still I was under constant tjreat of d detterent called “pain”.i asked pa 2 call sir n tell him dat it has become an unwanted guest. Doc saab ordered a DIAZEPAM(sleepin injection). N it was d savior 4 me. It relieved al my discomfort n I slept not knowing where I m n who I m.
