I got my tonsils out! This is me sucking down ginger ale after returning to consciousness. I'm happy to report that the surgery went well, mostly. There was a nasty interval where I was vomiting blood for several hours, but hey!, once that was taken care of, it was smooth sailing. Dad was really wonderful - he drove me to the clinic, took care of me, stayed with me for a day afterwards, waking me up every few hours to drink water and take my painkillers. So it's been pretty nice, actually, convalescing at home. I get to eat pudding, Jello, popsicles, and ice cream for every meal, and I've been catching up on letter-writing, books and movies. Happy days!
For some reason, I was really nervous about "going under" - when would I lose consciousness? How would I regain it? What would I remember? But the surgery team were really pros. They tucked heated blankets around me and asked me about my science fiction writing. The last thing I remember is joking, "You all will be characters in my next story." And then I was out.
aw, baby, you look beautiful sleepy sicky sick!!!! so glad you have cold wet sweet things to eat and warm love, blankets and Da and Rajeev and all! ;-)
