Tonsilectomy

Holy Moley! I finally got to go see an ENT about whats going on with my tonsils as to why I can't breath. She took one look at my tonsils and the first thing she says is, "welp, we need to take those out." She looked in my nose and didn't find anything that triggered the thought that it was allergy induced, so there it is. On May 3rd, I'll be going in to get them removed. I'm SO not looking forward to this. Whenever it come to people giving me advise, no one wants to give me any positives. They all just warn me about how badly the recovery is going to hurt. One went so far as to tell me that the Liquid Tylenol 3 burned going down so bad that she threw it up and then it burned all over again. WONDERFUL! I am trying as hard as I can not to think about it and say ok I can take it. I really don't like surgery. I am not a fan of the OR, the way it looks or smells. I have always been afraid of going under with anesthesia, mainly because I have my mother that always freaks out, tells me about all the worst possible things that can happen, and then it freaks me out. There is always a risk with any surgery, but what can I say. I love my life and I love my kids. Enough said. So please say a prayer for me. I'm not nearly as afraid as when I was going in for a c-sec, but the fear is still there. In the long run, I know that I will be glad that I got it down. I just hope its not a simple allergy issue that could have been solved without surgery, but I guess we will never know. I've been getting pretty awesome reviews about this dr from friends who have had to go to her, so that does make me feel better.
