Today I had another ear surgery. This time I got a tube in my right ear and got the adenoid on my right side taken out.
Even though puppy and blanky came along to comfort me, I didn't like the idea very much.
Then the anesthesiologist came and asked me what "flavor" of air I wanted to breathe during my "nap". I told her I like strawberry-chocolate. She and the nurse looked at each other, and then looked at Mommy who just shrugged her shoulders. They didn't have that, but they DID manage to mix up a couple other flavors to make it for me.
After that, I decided to check out the books. Mommy read the Lion King book 3 times before they came to get me for surgery. It took about 30 minutes. The doctor said everything went awesome and that I did great (I'm not sure how I could have slept wrong). HOWEVER, in the recovery room, the nurse would not take my IV out - and I screamed and cried. I even refused to eat my orange popsicle or drink my apple juice. But as soon as the IV came out of my hand, I devoured that stuff.
We finally got to go home. I settled in with "Splish Splash Splosh" and a snickerdoodle. Recovery is so much easier in the comforts of home.
