Hi,

I think it's normal to feel anxious or scared about surgery. I had my tonsils removed when I was 17, and it was awful! It took me almost 3 weeks to recover. After I was healed, I felt so much better. I'm glad they are gone! Stock up on jello, and just remember you will feel so much better when your all healed!
