Its been a long time coming but today was Hannahs eye operation!
I was a little worried they wouldnt do it as she has the back end of a cold but they didnt seem too worried about it.
We arrived at 12:15 and it took them an hour to book her in, do checks and listen to her chest to decide if she was ok for surgery. They asked how long i had been fasting her for so i explained i had waken her at 7am and given her breakfast and she hadnt had anything since... then i remembered ...
At about 10am i caught Hannah on her hands and knees at the dog bowl and when i pulled her up she had a dog biscuit in her mouth (she has always had a thing for Bakers Complete just like Emily always had!) So of course i told them about it but explained at most it was crumbs as she spat most of it out.
Even so as a result they put her appointment slot back 2 hours to be sure so we were both starving, fed up and mega bored by the time it was her turn.
I took her down and held her as they put her to sleep. It was horrible as she decided to try and fight it and was thrashing about a fair bit till the gas took hold, then i had to leave. I had been given the impression it would be an "in-out" job and i had worried i wouldnt have chance to go for a cig break but when i got back from outside i still wasnt allowed to see her for a further 45mins. Sitting in a waiting room by yourself for 45mins is like 3 hours! I quickly regretted going alone and started getting a bit unsettled until i heard her crying down the coridoor and a nurse led me to recovery and she was passed to me.
I had imagined getting a nice sleepy cuddle as she came round but no she was throwing a massive tantrum, she was disorientated and woozy and was thrashign abotu like a drunk, kicking screaming and throwing her arms about it was horrible! and she is so strong now!
In the end i gave in and put her on the bed to fight it out by herself, every time i touched or spoke to her she went off on one again :0(
Luckily after about half an hour and some toast which she wolfed down and some juice she guzzeled she came round properly and was trying to get down off the bed to run around.
While all this was goin on Mum collected Emily from school and she was off colour and complaining of ear-ache. Mum and Marie took the poor little mite to the doctors and she has an ear infection and a fever and has to have 3 days off school which she is gutted about as they have just switched the play kitchen to a shop and she is desperate to play with it.
Iv put a bed up in her room and will be sleeping with her tonight to keep an eye on her
