Tonsil Day

Apparently the Friday before Thanksgiving is a popular day for kids to have surgery. Seems like pretty crappy timing to me-having to smell Thanksgiving dinner and not being able to eat it all? Just mean.

Tomorrow's surgery schedule is insane. INSANE, people! Working with Dr B, we have 16, that's right, SIXTEEN tonsillectomies. Several of those kids are having additional procedures done, too. Hopefully we'll be done before 5pm or so. Hopefully. Did I mention I'm also on call?

So on Tuesday when I worked with Dr B and his scrub tech, we discussed Friday's schedule. Really, we discussed how much and what kind of coffee they were going to need to get through the day. Cindy, his scrub tech, is a huge fan of the Twilight series. She's going to the 12:01am showing of New Moon tonight and then heading straight to work. She's been so excited about the new movie that it's been a topic of discussion pretty much every time they come to our hospital. The anesthesiologist, Dr S, hates all things Twilight. I mean HATES, which has been really funny since it's such a common topic of conversation.

I told them on Tuesday that I'd bring something sweet for Friday since it was going to be so crazy. I asked them for ideas, requests, whatever. What did I get? Nada. So, what did I make?

Twilight themed desserts, of course.

I know at least one person will love them and one will hate them-or at least the idea of them, 'cause you know they'll taste good. Oh, right. I forgot to tell you what they were. You can't tell I'm tired or anything, can you? For tomorrow's dining pleasure, we have chocolate chip "Bite Me"cookie cake, and cherry filled chocolate cupcakes with your choice of "Team Edward" vanilla or "New Moon" chocolate frosting. Yum. At least I have something to look forward to. Sigh.
