Arizona has recently returned to school after having her tonsils out. She wrote this story to share the experience with us.
Operation Day
Butterflies swirled in my tummy suddenly, as I began my journey to the hospital. Waiting quietly in the waiting room I was wondering, "Was my name going to be called next?" Goose bumps were ready to race up my spine as the nurse put the surgery wrist band on me. I ran to the changing rooms to put on the hospital PJs. I walked terrified to the theatre and it wasn't long before they put the gas mask over my face - 10,9,8 ... I drifted off to sleep.
After my operation I woke up in the recovery room. I got moved to the children's ward where there were two others - Jayden and Tilly. The ice cream and jelly was the best part of the day.

Eww! Arizona! I hope that's not your tonsils in that little bag you're holding!
ReplyDeleteWe can't even see what's in the bag, it's too far away....maybe you could put a close-up photo on!
