- Spent some days in Iowa City where I took my midwifery skills exam and saw some good old friends.
- Returned yesterday afternoon from a trip to Chicago to see my dear friend Rachel Ann #2, who is headed to the Peace Corps in Morocco soon. As well, I got to have some heart to hearts with dear friends and put my life into better perspective, which has been hard to get recently, being so transient and without a kula (ie a community)
- Tonsillectomy today went smoothly....there are 2 large gaping holes in the back of my throat, and my uvula is swollen incredibly huge to resemble a finger hanging down from my palate
A juicy expose update to come...
my tonsils live in their rightful place now: a bio-hazard container

Woohoo; does this mean they let you keep your tonsils?? I hope so. Hope you're eating lots of ice cream and pudding and popsicles. Call me when you can talk again! :)

I am slightly distraught to say: No :( they would not reason, despite my stated fact that women are permitted to bring home placentas from the hospital...
My nclex study guides tell me that if you're swallowing a lot, you have a serious problem and a nurse should probably do something about it.
haha, I thought about that a lot actually post op--I keep monitoring to make sure I'm not swallowing too much, haha...And do you know why student nurse Joey?? Because that would be a sign of bleeding...I think that was actually on my NCLEX exam!
