Had my first running session with protein today,
and we managed a 1 hour run rather comfortably,
clocking about 11-12k.

Gery and Jueluo waited for us to finish to go out
together, but we were just too tired to want to go.

When home to rest after a great meal. My pa brought
me down to the clinic at orchard for the op to remove
the infected lump at 4. There were many patients
there, and we only managed to start the op at 6, as
I had to be scheduled last for the op.

I wasn't scared of the op, not like I was gonna get
slaughtered or anything, but I must be honest that
I was pretty nervous, since I am obviously no hero.
In fact I sort told the doc not to be surprised if I screamed
like mad.

It wasn't as bad as I thought, but the 2 jabs were excruciatingly
painful. Just imagine the feeling of having a jab, but instead of
1 second, try to make the pain period be about 5-7 seconds,
as he had to plunge it all the way to the infected area. And
he had to do it twice, so it adds up to about 12 seconds of pain :(
I didn't really feel much pain later, as I was under anesthetic,
but I could feel pretty much the whole procedure. Even
when he was cutting the open my flesh, hehe.

It was pretty cool as I could hear his conversation with
the nurse and feel what he was doing. The regular "Dab, Dab"
said by the doc to the nurse to clear the blood, the feeling
of the infected area being cut out bit by bit or the stitches.
It wasn't scary at all, not when you don't feel any pain.

I was honestly more concerned about my hunger, as my
tummy growled throughout the op.

I am no brave hero or anything, so i was quite surprised
that I didn't even yep once throughout the whole op. I was
even joking with the doc and asking what he was doing, all
while the whole op was in progress :)

Now I have tons of medication to take, creams,
anti biotics and painkillers ( I don't really feel any
pain now anyway ) :(

Gotta have to try to avoid sports for about 2 weeks..
Now that's worst then the op. Dang.

Lucas Out!
