*luke takes a bus down from sitiawan…*
blood pressure, pulse, etc etc… doc comes in at about 2am … put a cast on, says cannot eat till operation..
… fast forward …
4.30 pm, tuesday … nurses come in, i get changed into the thing-you-wear-for-operations …
General aneasthetic, knocked out… operation… (find the 2 ends of the tendon and stitch back together..)
6.30 pm : wakes up from GA
