My Surgery (after)
Two days ago was my surgery on tonsils and adenoids. As I said three days ago, I wasn't worried at all... (for a little bit, anyways!) So I got a bracelet to let them know I was the person having surgery, and then the nurse took everyone to my waiting room; It was a GREAT waiting room!! The bed was extremely comfortable, I could adjust the bed however I wanted, there was a TV, and POPSICLES!! We were waiting in that room for about an hour, most of the time the nurses came in and gave me about 200 shots that were really painful, and then numbed my two hands when they put in the IV which allows me to have medicine in my veins without getting a shot. The doctors were very impressed that I got my IV in before the surgery! I have to admit I did cry a little when I was going in to the operating room and don't ask me why! The last thing I remember before my surgery started was that one of the doctors put a mask on my face and then a couple seconds later, I was in a different room. Actually I kind of forgot I was in the hospital after I woke up but then the nurse talked to me and told me it was time to go back to my parents, I was pretty sure at that point I was no where else. As I got wheeled into the waiting room, I was still tired but I could talk! Then, I got a popsicle, which I only ate half of, and some ice cubes. After about an hour or two, it was time for me to go home! The best part of that whole time at the hospital was that I got to get wheeled out in a wheel chair. That was the experience of my first surgery!

I am so proud of your courage and sweet attitude throughout this entire experience. You have been so incredibly brave! I couldn't believe your pretty little smile as I walked in the recovery room...wow! I thought you'd be all groggy and cranky and in all sorts of pain. But there you were all (sleepy) smiley! I wanted to pick you right up out of that bed and give you the biggest bear hug of all time!! Love you sweet girl, and sooooo happy I can spend these first few recovery days with you!
