my hospital visit

For some months now I have had what the doctors call a "trigger thumb". It means that there was a knot in the tendon in my thumb that was too big to pass back through the tunnel. So when I did a two thumbs up, this is what it looked like..



Yesterday I went to hospital to get my thumb fixed so that I can do a normal two thumbs up like everyone else.. I was kind of getting used to my bent thumb but mum and dad thought it best that it get fixed. So after dropping Amelia at school and Chase with a friend it was time to get ready for hospital. Getting ready for hospital unfortunately meant no eating or drinking for 6 long hours so we decided to head to Toys r us for some shopping. While there I managed to find myself a new friend that seemed more than happy to make the trip to hospital with me.

Upon arriving at hospital I was "checked in" and then finally shown to my wheely bed. I put on my pj's, mum's funny blue shoes and was ready to go. Well as ready as I could get. Mum & Dad told me that I was very very brave!! I think so too. It was kind of scary going into the big room with lots of doctors and nurses waiting for me and the man who wanted to put me to sleep. Before I went to sleep I heard him offer my mum some of the special sleeping gas to take home.. Hopefully Mum declined, I much prefer to go asleep by myself.

Before I knew it I was back out with Mum & Dad but with a funny bandage on my thumb??? Then the nurse gave me some snacks and ice-cream to make me feel better, and because I was so hungry. Then, finally it was time to go home for dinner and more ice-cream. Thanks Aunty Kyla for telling me that I could have 3 ice-creams when my thumb was fixed. I had one vanilla, one strawberry and one chocolate!
