We were up in the dark and headed to the surgical center at Vancouver Clinic. We were not the first procedure of the day. Our scheduled time was 6 a.m. We were on time and went right back. He got his vitals checked and was told he had to wear their gown. Yeah....that didn't happen. The procedure was suppose to take about 45 minutes, but they were done quicker than that.
I could watch the screen to see where he was. He was in post-op for a long time before they came and got me. That really made me wonder. And then finally I went back. Turns out the little man is exactly like his daddy and came out of anesthesia early and wild. He pulled his IV out and got blood everywhere. He was all cleaned up and eating a freeze pop when I went back.
They wheeled him down to the car and told me he would sleep most of the day. Yeah....that didn't happen. He did sleep in the car on the drive home and that was it until bedtime. We kept him on his pain med schedule but he definitely could still feel the sore throat.
We were home by 9 a.m. I'm just relieved it is done and now moving forward.
