    Thought I would pop back as DD1 just had her surgery and she rocked it. You would not have even guessed that 2.5 hours after she woke up in recovery that she had just had surgery. She woke up asking for lunch and ate her dinner straight away. Was up playing in the toy room and slept all night without waking. She opened her eyes at 6:30am, told me her throat was sore and can she have breakfast now. I have given her panadole 6 times since we came home on Wednesday and she has been eating normally.
    Unbelievable and completely unexpected from me especially watching some of the other kids in our hospital room and how upset they were. She had grommits as she has very bad ears (apparently she has had numerous ear infection and not once has she ever complained about sore ears) so she is on AB to fix that up.
    Sorry to be rambling on but it has really suprised me, I knew she was a tough chooky but she is tougher then I thought.

    I hope your DD suprises you too. The only bad part for me was watching her go under, she did not fight it but it just made it so real and walking away from her when she was out was hard.

    Oh that is wonderful Kazzo! I'm so glad she has reacted so well to it! I hope my DD has a similar reaction!
