My daughter had a tonsillectomy on Tuesday, after 10 years of needing it done, and I have been keeping an eye on her when I do get off work. After hearing a few horror stories about kids getting their tonsils out around her age I was more than a bit concerned about how she would pull through. She went through the surgery just fine and had no bleeding, even the doctor was impressed. He did warn me that the rough time could come a few days after surgery. I have been trying to keep an eye on her and making sure she is following doctor's orders so she doesn't have any serious bleeding once the scabs start to come off and so far we have been lucky. I don't think she realized how much her energy would be zapped after the surgery. I told her it would take a lot out of her. I keep teasing her about how the information sheet says she can play quietly at first and then gradually increase play, but no rough housing. Right now she is sleeping quite a bit and I told her that she needs to do so because it allows her body to heal faster. Also, for right now we are getting along much better. I am not sure if it is the pain killers or maybe she has started to become her old self again, either way I will take it!

As for the online dating, well I have gotten a few messages but haven't had time to really give it much attention this week. Obviously by the responses here and on Facebook I would be in great shape if I were a lesbian because I have had several women tell me they would date me if they weren't married or if they were a man. However, since I am not a lesbian I am certain I will live the rest of my life as a single woman but that ain't bad since that is all I know in the first place *okie cracks up laughing*. I am wondering if my little disclaimer about the possibility of being written about on my website is a turn off. Oh well, I thought I should tell the truth and that was the truth! HA HA HA
Okie, glad things are going well with your daughter and hopeful that she'll return to her 'old self.' I will certainly lift Naomi and you in prayer as being a caregiver is not an easy job.

Will keep you, your daughter and especially Naomi in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us updated on Naomi.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter sounds so much like mine when she had hers out. She's a tough girl and keeps right up with the guys. So she thought this would be a piece of cake. Turned out she realized how wrong she was! But for me it was good to feel needed again and to do some special things for her. She's still my baby at 26.....lol.
Will say a special prayer for you. Hope all goes well for Miss Naomi.
ReplyDeleteWow, you have a lot on your plate right now! Take care and my thoughts are with you :)
ReplyDeleteI was about your daugters age when I had my tonsils out. You cannot believe how much better I felt afterwards. I hope this will be the same for your daughter! Prayers heading your way for Naomi and Shiane to have a speedy recovery.
