It was not easy to cope, but the energy to carry on was there thinking that this dream of mine I will wake up from one day and all would be gone.
When the first stage of the healing processes was done with, my left arm healed together with my elbow joint and I had to go for the first surgery in my life after the months I stayed at Iyi-Enu hospital.
Tried lots at the enugu orthopedic but no show then Dr. Agu was found here and he once treated me during my stay at Iyi enu.
He fixed a date ran some tests and the next day I was booked.
The theater.....
Filled lots of bldes, pillers,hammer looking like stuff, lots of equipment I don't even know there names, even hack saws.
I didn't blink when it was my turn to enter the theater, I changed to the theater gown went straight to the couch and laid down,
My mum and dad was outside the room looking through the window.
The air conditioning system was at highest chilling point of 18° the 3 spilt units.
The cold in that room was something else.
As he was preparing me for the task ahead he kept on trying to know if I had fears or worries, within me I know am a grown as kid and I will make it because I was fearless even at the point of death.
He was a very young and vibrant surgeon, he gave me dosage of anastasia asked me my name, what I want to be and how is life?
I told him,
Am Obumneke okeke kosisochukwu
Wants to be a Petrochemical Engineer
I just want to be rich and help people.
It's not working he said requested for more doses of anastasia, I gave him acurate response and he later gave me the last shot and I could see was the blue skies.
My body became numb, no pains, no feelings, no hurts.
As I hear the slicing of my skin by the surgical blades till I finally slept off because the cold was too much for me to bear and my hot blood coming out from that arms was not enough to keep me warmth.
After hours of modification, was wheeled in to my bed only for me to wake at 1;00 am as usual me to look for what I will eat because no food allowed before surgery only to see my shoulder to my fingers casted.
The pain came back the effects of the anesthesia long gone.
To be continued. ............
More coming your way............
