Jessie will be having surgery for a female issue on September 24. Somehow she found Youtube documentaries of children talking about their surgeries and what happens. She watches them daily. This morning when she was getting dressed she said "surgery" and pointed to her arm where she'd have an IV. I said, "Yes, you will have an IV and they will give you something to make you sleepy, and you'll take a nap. When you wake up ..." and before I could finish my sentence she said "EAT!" Oh, boy, I'd better warn them ahead of time to have food on hand for her. She's already requested chicken nuggets!
We went to the family doctor to get his clearance for surgery this evening, but it didn't go well. She wouldn't give a urine sample and the tech couldn't get blood out of one arm and when she tried to do the other arm, I stopped her because she really didn't look like she knew what she was doing and Jessie was beside herself. We have to go tomorrow and try again. Ugh!
