Discharged this afternoon from SGH. Throat is hurting terribly and my nose keeps secreting bloody mucus. Doctor Chan has advised to stay at home next 2 weeks and to avoid crowded places as I will be very prone to infection during this period.

So, just to throw some light on the 2 surgical procedures I went through yesterday morning; Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty & Tonsillectomy. The latter is quite obvious, the removal of tonsils.

Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) is a procedure used to remove excess tissue in the throat, which widens the airway. This sometimes can allow air to move through the throat more easily when you breathe, decreasing snoring. UPPP involves the removal of the uvula and back of the soft palate, which widens the airway, and is often accompanied by Tonsillectomy.

Now, that explains my difficulty to swallow even my saliva and also secretion from my nose and even blocked nose. And guess what, Cheryl and Zijun dropped me a surprised visit last night at SGH. So sweet of them, thanks babes!

My follow-up appointment is in a week's time. Meanwhile, Dear bought ice-cream for me so that I can eat. Drinking cold water too. Earlier, I ate some porridge with a plate of minced chicken with egg for dinner. I was having difficulty swallowing the minced chicken too. But because I was really hungry, I forced myself to finish the dinner.

Oh yah, received a Get-Well basket at 7pm. It is from the company. So nice hoh?
