adenoids {an only God story}
why did the chocolate chip cookie go to the doctor? because he was feeling crummy.
that's all that asher remembered before he dozed off and skipped into lala land while the doctor removed his adenoid.
ben and i took turns sitting with him in the recovery room, patiently waiting for him to wake up. a sweet nurse stayed by his side for a better part of an hour taking notes and ready to take care of him when he woke. ben was walking around outside with kavita for she was uncomfortable in the recovery room.
i had nothing to do but wait. asher rested peacefully. so when the nurse looked up, why not engage in some conversation?
