HPV – LLETZ

一切從檢出「非典型鱗狀細胞」開始。再用 DNA 檢出 HPV33,屬高危。
Wednesday 入養和。普通病房 (只得 3 張床) 窗口位。望住馬場。比我屋企重好 view。可惜呢晚無馬跑。有個包包,內裡有梳,牙擦,牙膏,膠杯,棉花棒,2 個 Seba 番梘,毛巾仔一條。有獨立電視 (其實系laptop) 睇。我自備睡衣。因有花粉敏感,所以手帶系紅色。抽咗血,12 點後禁食。雖然瞓得著,但床墊唔夠 support,被又有啲焗。
Thursday 早上 6 點,姑娘比衫我叫我 7 點換。跟住麻醉師見我,醫生見我。姑娘推張輪椅入嚟,用布張我包到得翻個頭。然後一值有人不停問我個名,邊個醫生,有冇敏感,有冇傷風感冒,知唔知自己做咩手術。手術其實叫 Colposcopy and Large Loop Excision Biopsy of Transformation Zone of Cervix。簡稱 LLETZ (美國叫 LEEP)。
推到手術嘅地方,嘟吓手帶確認就入去轉上床。又包到坎。推嚟推去推咗去 8 手術房。都等咗一陣先有房。入到去見到兩盞大小雞蛋仔咁嘅手術燈。房好大,又凍。一個 15 分 鐘嘅手術居然有咁多人响入面準備。重聽到啲工具『傾傾』聲。轉到手術床,腳掌伸咗出嚟。用安全帶梆住左手同腰。除晒啲褲,但係依然包到坎。先吸氧氣,好大 陣膠味。然後打麻醉針。麻醉師話會感到有啲麻麻哋,不過我感覺唔到喎。因為同時又唔知比啲咩我吸,好似霉咗嘅木,好臭,臭到咳。醫生話係有啲味,係會咳。再比我吸,咳多吓就瞓咗嘞。
「起身喇!起身喇!」咁就醒嘞。已經離開咗手術房。開眼望住天花:太好喇!終於做完喇!姑娘叫深呼吸。幾分鐘後,醫生同我講一大堆嘢:會「乸乸」哋;之後要覆診,覆診時又要比佢填埋張保檢;記得比錢時 make sure 醫院响張保檢 form 到級印;4-6 個禮拜唔好做運動,游水,或者做珈;比我睇嗰兩個切咗出嚟嘅粉紅色物體,話眼睇好正常,但都要拎去化檢,大慨星期一知道 O 唔 OK;會比 3 種藥我,止痛,消炎同胃葯 ......
嘟吓手帶離開,但今次係成張床唔系輪椅。姑娘幫我轉床,又幫我叫定嘢食。一直到 1 點先准食野同飲水。每個鐘頭檢體温同血壓。想瞓,但系 1 我卧瞓系瞓唔到,2 我懷疑係止痛藥令我覺得心跳好強烈 (應該係血糖低)。不過姑娘幫我量又無事。但系就感覺到某啲位「噗噗•噗噗」咁。由手術到走得需要 6 個鐘。
埋單要$25,xxx.。最主要系 operation fee $10,000,手術室材料費 $5,xxx,麻醉師 $3,xxx,手術室費 $2,xxx
*** 記得帶衛生巾!
