Thank you all my dear friends for wishing me good luck for the surgery ❤︎ Everything went well and I had to stay in the hospital for only one night. Waking up from the anesthesia was the worst part and of course the previous stress. You see, there is the possibility of injuring the facial nerve - but the lady surgeon Anna was skillful and my mouth does not droop a bit!
The problem was my left salivary gland that had shown symptoms and salivary stones many times before. This time the stone needed a surgery and they decided to remove the whole salivary gland. The stone’s diameter was approximately 1,2 cm! So far no suspect of malignancy. The pathologist's statement will arrive in four weeks.
Nicknamed Kirra & Kirurgi, the Helsinki Surgical Hospital / Kirurgiska sjukhuset is one of the oldest hospitals in Helsinki. It is situated in Ullanlinna near the Kaivopuisto Park. Completed in 1888, the hospital is administratively part of Helsinki University Central Hospital and there they concentrate on examining and treating patients with ear, nose and throat diseases. We have a lot of modern hospitals in the Helsinki region, each of them have their own specialities and experts who serve the whole capital region. For instance my broken ankle was operated in the Töölö Hospital in Helsinki and my thyroid gland was removed in Jorvi, Espoo.
The cafe has an old world charm!
From Ehrenströmintie around Kaivopuisto the views over to the Gulf of Finland
looked this dramatic early on Monday morning.
