Scared to Death!
Posted: 01-31-04 00:48am

Girls,
ok, so I know this might seem stupid to you but on feb 6th as most of you know, I am have surgery. It's just to remove my tonsills. No biggie right? Well, I am scared to death. It's 1 week from today and I am terrified! Not of the pain, I am scared because i've never had surgery and I am so scared to react to the medicine that puts me to sleep. Like 1 in 1 million people die and I am so scared! I've never had surgery and I know that removing your tonsills is a very common procedure but I am already scared to death. My stomach is killing me!

Oh lordy, I just needed to get that off my chest! Thanks for reading!
Love,
chanda

Good luck ill pray for ya sweets... The more worried you make yourself or let yourself be...The harder it'll be..Sit back and enjoy(or take on with ease) the ride..If that makes sense..Youre in my prayers

Think of it this way...You get to sit back and relax and let other people do the work for a little while. Have someone tend to you hand and foot..Lol if its possible. I'd milk it for all its worth! Hehe :d

Aww dont worry sweetie... I'm sposed to get mine out too after the baby :s but look at it this way.. U get to live on ice cream and jello for a week SmileSmileSmile
and when they put u to sleep.. U'll have no worries... U'll wake up a few times groggy but dont be scared... Doctors are too experienced nowadays to lose their patients in tonsil removal Smile hope alls well and ur feelin better!
