Tonsil/Adenoids surgery

Do you ever have tonsil/adenoids surgery before? I did. That was not great.
Here is my story.

On March or April 2007 in 7th grade. My doctor said that my throat was little bit swollen. So I had surgery. On May 21, 2007....We went to hospital at 530am (maybe little after 530am) and I change my clothes. At 7am, Doctors are ready to cut my tonsil and adenoids out. Then about 9am, I went back to room. I was sleeping for few min. Nurse gave me a orange popslice. I do not eat it...Just lick then put it in cup.
My mouth was so sore. I went to bathroom couple times but I couldn't then threw up
7 time (sorry) because medicine make me throw up. We stayed at hospital for 15 hours. That is so boring. At 11pm, we went to home. I not have a lot of energy. I stay on sofa a lot. I watch DVDs for little bit but I fell asleep heh. I not allowed to eat hot, spicy, hard, sharp, and citrus food. I had to eat same jell-O. I not allowed to drink milk for 2 days. I had to drink a lot of water.
Few days later, I start walk around little bit and use computer. I went to food store with grandma and bought ice cream me! I got Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Brownie Ice Cream! I ate them for breakfast! Anyway, I got two mails from friends. One from school...It made me miss them. I was so mad. I say- I WANT GO TO SCHOOL. I WANT GO TO SCHOOL. Daddy and I went to Bruster Ice Cream store! I got Cake Batter but I not eat much, just few bites.
A week later, I not have great time. I think Saturday, I use computer and I eat purple (raspberry maybe) jell-O. I got spit out and I thought it was jell-O but it was blob of blood (Sorry again) and we had go to hospital then rode in ambulance (I never rode in ambulance, it is my first time) to other hospital. My throat's scabs are falling apart so they had to fix it. Stay at hospital for few hours (better than 15 hours)
Anyway, on June 5. My grandma took me to doctor appointment. Doctor said my throat is fine. I ask her when I can go school? She said Tomorrow (June 6, Wed) then I was so thrilled! Doctor said I had to be careful when eat but June 10, you can eat any food. Next day, my friends did not know that I come. They are so happy to see me. 7th grade students and me go to Subway (Restaurant) for lunch. I was not supposed to eat it but careful. Then June 8, LAST DAY OF SCHOOL.
Two weeks at home was NOT fun. It is so boring. I like to be at school. I still remember what happen two and half years ago!!!!!! I was in 7th grade, last year for high school because middle school start new (Aug 2007) and grade- 5-8. Then 9th grade go to High school again! Some people in my family have tonsil surgery too.

Washington DC Trip.

Hello! I am still here...I was so busy with school but I read your blogs sometime. I forget tell you about Washington DC trip.
I tell you now.

9th grade trip...Few kids not come because of 4 detenion halls. 13 kids who went.
I still remember it, 7 1/2 month ago!

On Sunday, March 29, 2009, I pack some clothes for trip. I stay school on Monday, March 30 for overnight. Some kids who are day-students stay at dorm for a night. I was happy for go to Washington DC again, I went there in Summer 2004 (only went for one day) with mommy and daddy. Anyway, We put our suitcases in dorm. We ate dinner then went to dorm. We talk then went to sleep.
Next day at 5:45am, we woke up. We went outside, meet staffs and kids at bus (Fancy bus with restroom and DVD players, like 6), outside is little chilly. We went in the bus. I sit alone. Most kids prefer sit alone because they can sleep on seat and their legs on other side of seat. So, Staff give us soda pop and snacks. At Breezewood, Pennsylvania (about two hours away from school), we eat at MCDONALDS :), I got McMuffin with egg and sauages (still remember what I got it haha)
Then we went to bus again. Two more hours later. We put our cellphones/Sidekicks in box (not allow use phone all day). We met the man (tourist leader) and eat lunch. Some got Subway. I think I got lunch from Subway. (Subway is a popular resturant that serve tasty 6 inches or 12 inches subs, flatbreads, salads, COOKIES, soda pop, and chips).
Then we went to museum. We saw Magna Carta (PAPER is signed in 1215 AD, Can't you believe that?! I was like wow! That is amazing to see oldest paper from year 1215)
Anyway, we walk then went to museums then went inside Capitol building then dinner then walk to WWII Memorial and Vietnam war memorial and Abraham Lincoln memorial, we walk up the steps and see giant statue of Lincoln then we went to hotel. We want go to pool but we arrived at 9:10pm and pool closed at 9pm.
We slept at 11pm then woke up at 6am. We ate breakfast at hotel then went to museum again then lunch at Subway then went to store. We walk to Federal Court building and see White House, it is so beautiful! We went to Arlington Cemetery. Then went to bus. We ate dinner at Golden Corral then arrive dorm so late at 11pm.
Next day, we are at school and eat breakfast then went to classes.
It was best memories of year! We love it. It was so fun. My back was so sore when I am standing but when I sit, it is fine because I not use brace for 2 days.
Quick Facts
Lindsay and Sidney Greenbush (Little House) went to Washington DC in Christmas 1978 with their parents and brother and stay at White House. They got meet President Mr. Carter but they not meet him but just met his daughter, Amy Carter. I will post it about them in other blog. Amy Carter is adorabled but twins are so cute!
My favorite part of Washington DC is anything.
