My mom had knee replacement surgery 8 days ago. We have been told that this type of surgery has one of the hardest recoveries.

EEG

I am at Medical City Hospital (I'm pretending it's Medical City Mall). The toilet brand is American Standard. I brought my Arthur books and my new Arthur movie, my Arthur doll, my Arthur Binky Goes Nuts movie, and toys that Mom brought. We are here for my EEG- it's going to read my brain. When Diana put the electrodes on it was really really bad. It was 355% pain because it was bothering me because I don't like it when people touch my head. Diana was nice to me. I have 27 electrodes on my head. We have to be here for 7 hours. I got to have Blue Bell ice cream with lunch.
