Ptolemy has giagantic tonsils. Or HAD. He got them out so he could maybe not be sick all the time and get better sleep. Mike Scheuller did the surgery, of course. We wouldn’t go to anyone else. He’s great. The day of the surgery was fun, until he woke up. Since then, and that was 12 days ago, the kid has been pretty miserable. He hasn’t been back to school, and has hardly eaten a thing. As long as his pain medication hasn’t worn off, he’s mellow. As soon as it does wear off, we can tell. He’s a raging maniac. But he’s been very brave. I have loved having him home from school, and I never want him to go back.
This past week, he’s been white as a ghost and all skin and bones. It makes his eyes and his freckles stand out as if they’re independent of his body. He’s so freaking cute. I hope that once he’s fully healed, he will be healthier.
The night of the surgery, I took these kids to the dress rehearsal of Ballet West Shakespeare Suite. They also did summerspSumand Return from a Strange Land. All three pieces were astounding. Actually, Summerspace was not enjoyable. It was laborious. But when I saw it again the next week, it was incredible.
Then the next day, I went with goldato Conner Erickson's performance at Weber. He choreographed a piece for his senior project. It was perfection. Really incredible. We sat by Clytie, Sarah, Leslie, Jennifer and Lisa. I've missed them, not teaching ballet this year! It was a fun night.
