Surgery vs. Procedure

So I call Jakob having tubes put in his ears “surgery”, even though the ENT said that calling it surgery was a bit extreme. He would rather call it a “procedure”, since it takes such a short time to perform and they are just under via gas and not hooked up to anything, no IV. So I think that is what we might call it. I think it sounds much less ominous. Less frightening. For me. And right now that is important. Jakob will have no clue what is going on until the morning of. Which by the way will be next Tuesday. I was surprised that they were able to fit us in so soon. I am glad that we are getting it over with and behind us, but at the same time I really hope we are ready for it. It’s a big deal for us. So the count down is on… 6 days to go until no more ear infections and maybe clear up his hearing. Oh . . . almost forgot, when Jakob woke up from his nap he told me his ears hurt. This was after a 3 ½ hour nap!
