The witching hour is nigh

Things to bring to a tonsillectomy:

1 insurance card (God knows how much this is going to cost us)
1 pre-op physical form completed by child's physician (requiring us to take 1/2 day off of work to drive across town to get this done)
1 DVD to watch in the recovery room (apparently porn isn't allowed so we're going to have to think of something else more appropriate)
1 blankie or special stuffed animal to hold (yet to be determined but I suspect it will be Blue Blankie)
1 extra change of clothing (I'm thinking pajamas)
1 pan to barf in on the way home (hence the need for the extra change of clothes)

Wish us luck. I'm not dreading tomorrow as much as I am the next few days, especially when I try to explain to him why he can't have any tortilla chips. That will be bad. Very bad.
