Need some reassurance.

[LaDolceVita]

I had my tonsils and adenoids taken out when I was about 5, and was up in my hospital room bouncing from bed to bed 4 hours after the operation with a very big smile on my face, loving the attention... Apparently my Mum actually turned to the Doc and asked if I had even been in yet.

I do remember having the mask on my face and being told to count backwards from 10, I don't think I even got to 7... I don't remember much else about the whole surgery but I do know how lucky I felt when every kid in schoolw as coming down with Tonsilitis except me... It seems a horrible thing to go through! Much more painful and longer lasting than the surgery.

I agree with BG I don't think you'll feel ok about it all until after it is done. I can't imagine any parent being thrilled about the idea of their little angel going through surgery, or being sick either... It's completely natural to be worried, I do believe however that you will be very grateful 6 months down the track when you haven't had to nurse the poor little man through another bout of illness... I think he will be too. I know I am to my parents

Best wishes!
