Surgery…

        December 2024 was the first time I was at the hospital for someone’s surgery. My parents, grandma, aunt, and great aunt had had surgeries, but my sisters and I were always left with family at home while they happened. So going to the hospital with my best friend was a new experience for me. I had never been there for someone like that. I haven’t even really had surgeries either. I had stitches once, and I had a silver crown put on a tooth as a child. I think the crown was a surgery since I know it was at a hospital, due to my size and age. They gave me anesthesia, and next thing I knew, I was waking up in a bed, my mom then picked me up and we left the hospital. Just like that, the surgery was over, no one to wait for me and no in hospital recovery time. Now that I’m older with more anxiety, I hope i don’t have to experience many surgeries.
