I have been trying to pretend it's not happening but I cannot bury my head up an emu's bum any longer, apparently Rod Hull (rip) needs it back and denial (as well as not being a river in Egypt) is plainly stupid.
He is only having his tonsills and adenoids out and a couple of grommets chucked in for good measure. It is a routine op. So why do I feel sick?
The operation should change his life dramatically. His hearing will improve. He will hopefully no longer be that kid with the snot. Hell he may even eat something as he should gain the luxury of being able to breath through his nose. Hopefully the sleep apnoea will go and we may manage to get 11 hours solid sleep from him again and he'll stop being such a grouch through tiredness?
All this is great.
I really want him to have this op. I do.
But I wish that I could have it in his place.
And so I guess THAT is why I feel sick. Because THAT is what happens when you become a Mummy. And I am learning THAT all the time.
Hopefully he'll be back to grinning like this in no time.
