This was the time I was stunned by what the hospital had done for me. This was when I had gotten my tonsils and adenoids out because I had sleeping apnea. It was the summer of 2005-2006. I had just finished 1st grade at Laura Ingalls Wilder Elementary School When we had drove up to the hospital I could tell it was very nice. When walked through the big heavy glass doors, there was a golden piano playing. But, there wasn’t anyone playing the piano. I thing the hospital was in Denver. It was a very colorful and nice hospital. The people that were trying to calm me down were my mom and my dad. I was SO nervous! When I had gotten into the room of the hospital we had to wait a while until the doctors were finally ready. When, it was time to do the surgery with the doctors my stomach was twisting and turning. I could feel the intense air blowing hard on me. The doctors took me to a room, where it had bright lights. But, it wasn’t where they were going to do my surgery. Thin, they asked me what king of laughing gas I wanted, and I had said grape. It smells horrible, but, when the doctor was trying to make me laugh I got suddenly I got tired until I finally fell asleep. After the surgery, my mom was sitting right next to me. All I could see was my mom’s bright smile. After the surgery I had scabs in my throat so I could only have a few hot things like chicken noodle soup and I could have a lot of cold things like ice cream. That was the the good part o f getting my tonsil and adenoids out. by megan mcguire
