Getting home, settling in
Went in to see ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
votania in the recovery ward. It was outpatient. She was already conscious, albeit painfully. This time, they had the relationships right: I was sister, not mother. *snicker*
After she finished her IV, and had some stuff to drink, the nice nurse Lois and I got her all packed up, dressed, and ready to go. To the car we went! We got in, and waved bye-bye to Lois, and headed home.
I really am a decent driver.votania was so out of it. This time she didn't ask that her head be fired from a cannon at the White House if she died, though. Instead, I got her home, with no collisions and not even a close call, and marxdarx put her to bed while I walked over to pick up Little Fayoumis from his school and get her prescriptions filled.
Explained to Little Fayoumis what was up while walking home. Told him that Mommy had gone to the hospital this morning for an operation, and she was sleepy from the medicine. He asked if Mommy had gotten sick again.
Told him that no, Mommy was fine, but Mommy didn't want to get surprised with a baby. He is her kid, and he's great, and new babies take a lot of time and energy, and she wants to spend time with him! So she asked the doctor if the doctor could make it so her body wouldn't have babies, and the doctors said he could do that, and so she planned to go to the hospital.
And we got up at 5:00 in the morning and went to the hospital, and then we waited and filled out paperwork, and then the nurses helped Mommy get dressed in the hospital gown and got her ready, and then the anaesthesiologist doctor gave Mommy some medicine that would make her go to sleep, and the other doctor got his tool to see inside her and put that in her bellybutton, and got his doctor laser and put that in her, and went ZAP! ZAP! with the doctor laser. And then they took out the doctor laser and the tool to see inside her, and then they put special bandaids on her.
And she's still sleepy from the medicine, and she hurts, because you hurt from having a doctor laser inside you and all that, but she'll be feeling better tomorrow.
And Little Fayoumis isn't worried, which is good. Explained, also, the necessity of having someone around to keep an eye on her. We need to have a grownup there with her in case the sleepy medicine does something bad with her. We don't think it will, but if it does, there needs to be a grown-up there to call the doctor.
Little Fayoumis proposed that Colshin could do it. I explained to him that Colshin couldn't dial a real phone and talk to a real doctor. But Colshin could tell LF when to tell me to call a doctor.
yaksha42 will be coming over later to keep an eye on everybody while I go and pick up the prescriptions. One's a pain med, one's anti-nausea. She's been drinking water and sleeping. So far, so good.
