Well, it's been an interesting two weeks. I had my tonsils removed and the best part was not the ice cream and all the slushes you want.....for me, it was staying home from school and hanging with my mommy. I have the best mommy in the world, you see. I snuggle her with my legs - I wrap them around her - it's my way of snuggling her. I love it when she snuggles me....so I've come up with a way to snuggle her. The surgery wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but the recovery was pretty aweful. Exactly as you read about on line if you google serch tonsil recovery in children. By day 9 I was on the mend....but I still want to stay home with my mommy so I raised a fuss.....I'm told I have to go tomorrow. Darn! The worst part about the pain was from my ears....the doctor calls it referred pain.....and it sure did hurt. I got dehydrated and wouldn't eat....but aside from that, once they gave me medicine for the pain that actually worked, I felt better.
I had a lot of game time with mommy.....we played board games and put puzzles together. I watched lots of movies and slept a lot too. I wouldn't recommend this surgery for fun, but if you have to have it done, be sure to enjoy the time with your mommy.....I'm told it can't happen again. :-( bummer.
