2007-08-21 — Calendar entry — Admission to 18-Dora

I was asked to present myself at 12:00 at the Cranio-, Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery (Mund-, Kiefer- und Gesichtschirurgie) ward at the AKH in preparation for the tattooing of my mouth. This was ward 'D' on the 18th floor of the green tower known as ward '18 Dora' for short.

The patients I could see (not so many as I had a single room) mostly had big bandages wrapped their heads — a little scary, especially as I knew this was the type of thing that was to happen to me later on in my treatment.

I just had to hang around waiting for the odd doctor and the anaesthetist to come to me.
