Tonsilectomy..

Well, yesterday i got my tonsils removed! Wooo! it was pretty interesting. first, we were told i was late, but turns out i was put into surgery late! so, at 8:30 we get in there, i put on my giant hospital gown, then i got my IV in! yikes! i did not like that at all. me and mom were being so loud too though! just laughing and talking. then around 10:50 a nurse came and rolled me down to the operating room. and asked me if iv ever gotten surgery before, then another nurse came out, and they were both calling me a surgery virgin! so funny! then the anesthetic doctor came in wondering what we were all laughing at and so the ladies tell him about me being a virgin. then i get oxygen and the anesthetic and my body starts going numb from the toes up..and i'm out! when i wake up i have 2 nurses over me asking if im awake and i just nod my head. the next thing i noticed was that i could breathe through my nose! i was sooooo happy! then i noticed how much my throat hurt. so when the nurse asked me to rate the pain i had to say 8, and a new nurse came and gave me a pain reliever. then after becoming stabilized, i was rolled back to the area i was in before i went into surgery. and from there every hour i got my blood pressure done and id be sleeping half the time. a nurse would come and ask mom if i was awake or not. i was there til 5:00. i had to have help to get up and pee once. and before i was going home, i felt really nauseous, and so the nurse who had been looking after me, put some gravol through my IV. i got a wheel chair ride down to the lobby and Ron came and drove us home. we were barely driving when i threw up. after that i felt better. and i ate yogurt, pudding, and ice cream for supper last night cuz i was so hungry from not eating all day. and lots of water. and now, iv been sitting at home all day, mom and i worked on my art project and went to Safeway for more food. and my Demerol medication makes me dizzy and nauseous when my T3s only make me drowsy.
Anywho...
