Today is my first surgery. I was very scared. They said they are going to put pins in my head and some in my back. I met the guy who was going to put me to sleep and he was so funny I forgot how scared I was. He juggled balls for me and threw kisses at me that hit me in the head. When he picked me up to take me to the OR, he made a giant farting noise that made me laugh really hard. Dr. Pablo is my friend. He put strawberry smell in my mask.
Funny Doctors are the best! You are going to do great today Ben! We miss you already!
What a Blessing! Amazing doctor/patient skills to put Ben at ease … xx This is just as hard, if not harder on mom … sending big virtual hugs! xx
Thinking of you Ben and wishing you a speedy recovery. In my experience patients in halo traction actually have a lot of fun hanging and spinning around once they get used to it! The first few days are the hardest but I promise it will get better!
