tonsillectomy

Our 25 year old daughter Malina had her tonsils removed yesterday morning. Me the bride and the fiance sat around the waiting room for hours. We waited to see a smiling doctor's face poke out the door and yell out our mispronounced name and inform us our Malina"s operation was a success and that she'll be in recovery for the next several hours. Thus the snapshot of Malina in recovery. I wanted to take a picture of her saying AH, but she wasn't in the mood. Malina opted to come to our house after she was released and she also brought along her  fiance and kitten. I am wondering if that is what the term "whole kit and kaboodle" means. Anyway, I think home is the best place to heal and we are glad to have her back. The worst part of the ordeal was the waiting, and the best part was of course the  outcome, but the in between part of the waiting room was the most fun.I sat around and talked about gall bladders, kidney stones, shingles, stints, and colonoscopies .People not only like to share what's going on with their loved ones bodies, but a lot of people love to talk about what's going on in their own bodies too. I've actually said this in conversations: the prep is a lot worse than the procedure. Anyway, what was really weird this morning was the fact that I got a text message from Malina at around 7:30 am. I just let Putnam (her kitty's name) out of the room...pls watch out for her. We have this crazy stalking vizsla "Linka" and Malina was just making sure our Linka wasn't going to make a meal out of Putnam. But, the dog and the kitty bonded immediately and all is well at the Mazur household. Putnam is an odd name for a tiny female kitten, but the kitty was found by a friend of a friend on Putnam street in Forrestville , NY. ..so that's her name for now. Already this morning my bride who loves to use diminutives has referred to this kitty as putty. I'm of the opinion that cats don't pay attention to any name you give them, but putty seems kinda cute. Malina is doing well this morning too.
