The Tonsil Removal

The Recovery

Jake's POV

As I was stroking Izzy's hair, I saw her eyes start to open.

"There's my brave Princess." I exclaimed as I kissed her on the forehead.

"How are you feeling?" Cubby asked her.

She started groan as she tried to sit up.

"Izz, don't sit up, you've just came out of surgery. Here, let me raise your hospital bed up." I exclaimed as I raised her hospital bed up and she was still lying down.

"I'll go and get the nurse." Cubby exclaimed as he went to get the nurse.

"Here you go Izz, try and have some water." I exclaimed as I passed her the plastic cup of water.

She tried to drinking it but she was having trouble since her throat was sore from her operation.

"You've had enough?" I asked her as she nodded her head.

"Okay Izz. As long as you drank a little bit of the water then that's okay." I exclaimed as I kissed her on the forehead and I placed her cup of water back on her bedside table.

Cubby came back with the nurse, who had a bowl of ice cream for Izzy. The nurse placed it on Izzy's table that above Izzy's lap.

"Enjoy." The Nurse exclaimed before she left.

"I don't want to eat it." Izzy exclaimed while being groggy.

"Izz, you have to eat something. Come on, do it for me." I exclaimed as she picked up her spoon as she sat up and began to eat the ice cream.

"How are you feeling Izz?" I asked her.

"My throat feels really sore. I feel really tired as well." Izzy exclaimed while she was eating her ice cream.

"Don't worry Izz, when we get home, you can take a long nap on your bed." I exclaimed while I rubbed her forehead.

I kissed her on the forehead while she was still eating her ice cream.

"I love you. I'm so proud of you." I whispered in her ear as I stroked her hair back.

We saw her surgeon come into the recovery room and came over to us.

"Hello Izzy, you probably don't remember me but I'm your surgeon, I took your tonsils out today. Your surgery was very successful. Your tonsils were really big though to take out." The Surgeon exclaimed.

"How long will her recovery take?" I asked him.

"Her recovery will only be one week long. She can only eat soft food, no solids. When her scabs are ready to fall off, she will need to cough them out, preferably in a bowl." The Surgeon exclaimed.

"How long will she need to stay here?" I asked him.

"She will need to stay here for an hour and she will get discharged then." The Surgeon exclaimed.

Izzy's POV

After I was done with my ice cream, the nurse took it away.

"How are you feeling Izz?" Jake asked me as he sat down next to me, in the chair next to my hospital bed.

"My throat is still feeling sore. How long was I out?" I asked him.

"You were out for only thirty minutes. You're currently in the recovery room." Jake exclaimed.

"Yeah, I can see loads of beds and curtains around me." I exclaimed as I look at my surroundings.

"So when can I leave this place??" I asked him.
