As an adult?
I am due to have one and I am feeling nervous about the whole thing. Never had an operation or been under GA before so that is daunting. But I am mostly concerned for the recovery period. The consultant said I should take two weeks off work, but I'm currently on maternity leave and I have a three year old to look after.
Honest opinions will be valued on whether I am going to be able to properly look after them?! My husband works but has no annual leave left to take this year, I don't know if he gets leave to look after sick children/wife in this case. And if it is unpaid then we can't really afford it.
I am waiting for my appointment to come through and really do want to go ahead because I get unbearable tonsilitis 3-4 times a year that has me bedridden and hallucinating so it's really short term pain for long term gain.
I keep thinking I've had two children....I can do this! But have read terrible horror stories about adult recovery. Bah.
