I hate hospitals. I know nobody loves them, but after my long 10 day stay after Taylor was born I developed an absolute loathing for them. I know they're not resorts and nurses aren't maids, but man, there's very little done to make our local hospitals feel the least bit warm or comfortable. It's all just sterile and depressing. So I get nervous for even the simplest out patient procedure, which we had AGAIN yesterday with Corinne and her poor little ears. She is such a brave kid. She was fine up until they had to take her away, at which point I felt like I was betraying her as I played it off like it was no big deal so she wouldn't get upset. Really I just wanted to scream at the nurse- "THAT IS MY HEART THAT YOU'RE WHEELING AWAY TO SURGERY. PLLLLLEEEASSSEEE BRING YOUR A GAME!!!"
Waking up from anesthesia didn't go as smoothly as it did the last time we were there. She woke up unconsolable and crying that her ears hurt. It was awful not being able to comfort her. She was high as a kite and talking crazy, so we just brought her home and took care of her the same way you would a drunk person. Sometimes it was funny when she'd go on a tirade about how the doctor "DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING! SHE JUST PUT COTTON IN MY EARS AND MADE IT WORSE!" But it wasn't funny at all when she cried and complained that her ears really hurt and she needed a snuggle. About 3 hours after the surgery, she was herself again.
We're keeping our fingers crossed that we don't see the inside of a hospital again for a very long time.
