To be a big baby

[SchroSawMargeryDaw]

About getting my tonsils out tomorrow?

They only phoned me yesterday, I am totally terrified. :(

It's natural to be nervous. Good luck for tomorrow

Thanks. :)

I can't believe how nervous I am, I keep telling myself that little kids manage to go and get this done pretty often and that I am being silly...

Try not to be nervous OP, I had mine out when I was 15, and it wasn't so bad.
I woke up high as a kite (morphine is brilliant!!) as they wheeled me back to the ward I was neenooring like an ambulance... It was really good until it wore off.
Throat was a bit painful in the days after, but it was fine. You'll be fine x

Just think of all the lovely ice lollies you can have after!

I've never had morphine (I don't think) that could be interesting! :o

Every1 They make you eat crunchy food. :( However I have pumpkin cheesecake ice cream at ready and pink magnums in case I am feeling up to it!

It is life changing I promise! Make sure they send you away with antibiotics though. My hospital didn't and I had the most horrendous infection afterwards

You could always ask for the tonsils in a jar - purely for freaking out small children.

I have the teeth which were threatening to invade my sinuses in a pot and occasionally rattle them at ds2 for morbid effect.

oh I'd be terrified too, of course you're not a baby.

I hope you wake up feeling good - I too have heard lovely things about morphine so perhaps try to focus on that?!

Can you actually ask for them in a jar? I actually would do that, I have a love for the weird and wonderful!

Good point about anti biotics, will make sure to ask for them.

Another that had mine out at 21, it was totally fine, although I also got an infection after. Yes the painkillers are great, although apparently when they were wheeling me back to the ward I told the porter he was "too good looking to work in a hospital!!!"

I had my bloods done yesterday and the midwife had to hold my hand and tell me how brave I was (I'm 30)

Therefore, YANBU.

It's good in a way having an immediate date, less time to worry

Get them in a jar for Halloween, that would be fab to scare trick or treaters with

I'm sure you will be fine. I do find I am extraordinary weepy for a couple of days after a general though. I hope you have someone looking after you

Thanks everyone. Feeling a teensy bit better about it today. Teeny tiny bit, now that I know I am going to go in and ask for them in a jar! :o
