1. Consultation and surgery decision: I went after looking at materials such as YouTube and blogs, so I had no questions about the general principles or procedures of the surgery. It was nice that he marked my face with a white pencil during the consultation and spoke quickly and accurately, and I also decided to go with the recommendation for salivary gland removal. In addition, the director's consultation procedure was also quick and simple. (Zero unnecessary details) It was a pity that it wasn't done in one day these days, but it might be better than it being too difficult to set a surgery date, so I had a blood test on the same day and completed the remaining general anesthesia tests at a nearby internal medicine clinic.

2. Surgery day: I arrived at the hospital at 3 o'clock for the third surgery on the same day, took pictures, changed clothes, and had a re-consultation with the director (Bora Pen Design) in an instant, so there was nothing new. The hospital atmosphere is very systematic, but it's also busy. I think I went into surgery around 4-5 o'clock. The director of the anesthesia department came and checked the drug allergy record himself and then introduced anesthesia. I wore a catheter during the surgery.
3. After surgery: I regained consciousness in a single recovery room. Chills, fever, sore throat, etc. Discomfort symptoms are mild. Because of the gas from my exhalation all night, I had to be careful about deep breathing, and the on-duty doctor came by often to check my blood pressure, administer antibiotics, and change the cold compress. Personally, I was very grateful for the frequent and good care. It was fortunate that I could rest without being able to move thanks to the catheter, but right after the surgery... it was harder than I thought to move. I didn't know it was this hard to keep my face still...ㅜ
4. The next morning: At 9:00, the blood pressure monitor and catheter were removed, and only the needle for the Ringer's injection was left (because there was antibiotics left for later). I saw the director, received treatment for the surgical site, removed the thick bandage, put on a neck collar, and prepared for discharge. The treatment was quite painful... I left the veins and blood bag in place, wore my hospital gown, ate some pumpkin porridge, and was discharged.
