I love this and it’s exactly what happened to me.
What a lovely contrast from the operation to a much needed parent plus ice cream!
As much as exotic flavours are great, I’d still hanker over vanilla plain and straight. Thankfully I dodged having my tonsils removed, only just though.
I might get a 99 next time I pass our local ice cream van now!
