Miss (almost) 4 had her tonsils out 2 days ago and so far is coping well.

But, my anxiety is terrible I am SO worried about post op bleeding that I kept getting warned about. I can barely sleep because I keep checking her. Logically I know its a small risk but I just can't stop worrying. 🤦‍♀️

Oh bless. I had mine out when I was 14 no bleeding but I caught a post op infection around day 4 by this point I had mostly recovered from the surgery by day 7 I was enjoying my second week off school.

Do you have any support for your anxiety? Is it an ongoing issue?
