Hi all.
I'm having my tonsils out on friday. 'Nervous' is a severe understatement! I have been so incredibly sick this past year. and I sing and I lost my voice in March and never really got it back, and I have some hearing loss. It's all being attributed to the horrible tonsils I've had for quite some time, so hopefully once they're out everything will be taken care of!
I've been reading A LOT about experiences people have had with the surgery, and I'm absolutely dreading the recovery. I'm terrified of what it's going to do to my (singing) voice because my doctor warned me that there is a possibility it will become nasal-sounding (which I'm already at risk for because I had a cleft palate when I was born), so I'm really praying that doesn't happen. and I have 0 pain tolerance, and I've read that the pain can be horrific, so I'm nervous about that as well.
I'm anxious about going back to school. this is the earliest date I could get for the surgery, and school starts on the 2nd. I really want to go back on time, but I've heard people generally take 2 weeks off. :/
and really just the whole thing in general is scaring the heck outta me (if you couldn't tell by this spastic-sounding post! LOL)!! If you could send some prayers or good vibes my way I would so appreciate it!
forgot to add - I'm also having a skin tag/tumor thing removed from my ear, and there is a good chance that it is malignant. so some good thoughts that it's benign would also be appreciated!
Love to you all.
