Ugh...Tonsillectomies are NO fun!

Well Today I had a tonsillectomy. My throat hurts like crazy!I couldn't eat or drink after midnight till after the surgery. First of all I had to get up early and go to the Riverpark Surgery Center. They called me back to a room that looked kind of like a hospital room with a big curtain. Then I had to change to a huge hospital gown.They stuck me with this really, really, really SCARY needle, and then they put the IV in. Whatever kind of medicine was in the IV made kind of loopy, or made me hallucinate or something, I just started laughing my head off for no reason, the nurse said it made me drunk.Oh, and they gave me three pills. They rolled me then to the surgery room, and they put this mask thingy on my nose and mouth and told me to breath deep. I must of fallen asleep from the anesthesia then because thats the last thing I remember. When I woke up my throat was hurting and the nurse brought me some water and then a popsicle :). Then we went to Mcdonalds to get a chocolate shake, and then to Walgreens to get my prescription medicine. I was still soooo tired, I came home and slept for two hours. I have to stay cooped up inside for a week. That's a bummer. One good thing, I get to eat lots of ice cream and chocolate milk and shakes! =)
