Last Monday I had my tonsils and adenoids taken right out of me! Something called surgery... Mom said I snored like a freight train and I had sleep apnea so we went to see a specialist and he said my tonsils were huge! So bright and early (6:00am to be exact) we had to be at the outpatient clinic. It was great fun at first, they pampered me with stickers and a cool bracelet, I got some funky jammies with fish on them, and best of all I got to ride in a cool wagon. They also gave me some funny juice that made me real sleepy. Well, the next thing I know I'm waking up with a sore throat, crying for mom and trying to rip the IV out of my hand! The nurse said I had to drink a cup of juice before I could get it out so I downed that stuff as fast as I could! Then thank goodness I got to go home.
At home I was pretty tired so I got to lay around and watch cartoons and movies and drink lots and lots of juice. I only get juice at Sunday school so it was a real treat to be able to drink as much of it as I wanted!
I also got to eat all the ice cream I wanted too...Doctors orders! Mom and dad were real sweet to stock up on all kinds of treats and popsicles but all I wanted was chocolate and vanilla. I went through a half gallon in two days!
I've been a real trooper taking all of my yucky medicine and things have gone really smoothly. Except on day 7 after my nap I had lots of blood in my mouth...after a panic-driven phone call to my doctor it turned out to just be a scab coming loose in my throat, apparently really common after the first week. So I'm definitely on the mend! And the best news of all: no more snoring! Mom says my future wife will thank us one day!
