It is Done

H had her oral surgery last Wednesday and is still on the mend. She is parked in the leather recliner facing the TV with all electronics within reach...stocked with jello, pudding, gelato, and mashed potatoes...I'm praying she won't be diabetic when she is recovered. She is drugged, has a supply of salt water to rinse with and it is safe to say she probably has not even walked a mile in the last week. Her lower jaw is giving her the most pain and that was predicted. And they did say Days 3, 4, and 5 would be the most painful...also true. I am hoping by tomorrow she will be ready for school. The surgery took longer than expected...2 1/2 hours was predicted...it was 4 1/2 hours. Her canine was buried deep in her palette. Bless her heart, she was a trooper.

Roo was the chief mashed potato maker, she even changed Hannah's gauze packing and slept on the couch near her. M also slept on the couch. However, I think it was more for the party atmosphere and novelty of sleeping on the couch rather than his sister's well being...call it an indoor camp out, if you will.

There were no funny videos to make of H on drugs. She was one drowsy girl but that was about it. Actually, I was relieved...I remember crying all the way home after my oral surgery and Lauren did the same. Lauren's nurse told me that most girls cry from the anesthesia because of their hormones...boys are the funny ones.

The cat has been Hannah's guard and even stayed inside for most of Thursday and Friday. The cat's favorite place to hang out is the screened porch. She loves the outdoors and would be out hunting...had we not had to sign a contract when we rescued her that she would remain an indoor cat.

H has watched all the episodes of Pride and Prejudice and I think she is about to finish off all 12 Seasons of NCIS. Let's hope she is up for school tomorrow...because between
