Manic Monday

Sunday we had more rain than we usually get for the whole month of April, so we awoke Monday to an email from our upstairs neighbor saying that there was about 2 feet of water in our basement. Yup that would be the same basement where we have all of our stuff that doesn’t fit in our apartment.

Since we were running around trying to get things together to take Ellie in for surgery and the land lord had been called to come pump it out , we decided to wait till we got home to see what had been affected. This morning we found mostly wet clothes and some of Ellie’s toys from when she was younger. So I am washing all day today. The only thing I am worried about is our pre lit Christmas tree. I guess we will see next year if it still works or not.

We got to the hospital – via Dunkin Donuts – no problem and Ellie’s surgery went well. They were in an out quickly compared to all of her other surgeries. The only problem was she was a bit angry (actually, let me call it what it was – she was pissed off) when she woke up.  She woke up very quickly after surgery, so they gave her something to help her sleep hoping she would be in a better mood the next time she woke up. Nope, not so much. She was still mad and cranky.

The only way to solve it was to get her out of the hospital, so we gave her a ice lollie and bundled her into the car where she stopped crying and yelling as soon as she got into her new car seat and was fine for the rest of the night.

It is amazing how strong she is. I know it wasn’t anything to major but she was almost back to her normal self last night. You would have never known. She was awake only once during the night, I think she might have been hurting a little but after some water and some medicine she was back off to sleep.
