    Surgery Coloring Sheet for Kids: Waking Up

    Crayon.

    You will wake up in the recovery room. A nurse is there to help you feel better. The nurse may give you a drink and a little bit to eat. You will see your family member or friend soon!

    Right after you wake up, you may be dizzy. You may feel sick to your stomach. Noises may sound very loud. These strange feelings will go away soon.
