This morning, my daughter Maria, had a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy at an outpatient surgery center in Lexington. She did very well, considering. She wasn’t happy to have all that pain when she awoke.
She cried, and I held her in the recovery room as they took the IV out of her left arm. The nurses and staff at the outpatient center were attentive, answering our every question.
We took the slow trip back to Georgetown in the Cube (still no van ’til next week), and she dozed lightly with mom keeping her company in the back seat. Since then she’s taken her Tylenol 3 (with yummy Codeine) and 2 popsicles.
