Nervous About Upcoming Surgery: Adnoids, Deviated Septum, and Spur Removal

[apriljc]

I am having surgery on Thursday and I am starting to get nervouse and back out. I am having my adnoids taken out, my deviated septum fixed, and a spur scraped out of my nose. I hate people messing with my face, expecially with my nose or eyes. I am really not looking forward to the after surgery. I just hope this helps me breath better. This last week has been a terrible week for me. My sister is due in March and she got put on strict bed rest, my dad is having a test done this week on his kidney, my uncle has a spot on his kidney that they think is cancer, and both of my boys have been coughing with runny noses all week. Oh and also my DH grandpa may have prostate cancer. I sure hope things start to look up.
Thanks for listening to me vent and complain.

When it rains, it pours, but not to worry, everything will be fine. (If it makes you feel any better, I've got big-time surgery coming up that makes your's look like a good manicure under a general.) You'll all be fine!

Hang in there April - you will be fine!!!
I will keep you (and your family) in my thoughts and prayers!Are you doing outpatinet or inpatient? Will you bring your laptop with you into recovery??

Take catalogs and recruiting info for all the people who work there!Ugg...sometimes I think I need a hobby - too much PC on the brain

Oh, and I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I meant to say that first.

Good luck to you!

My DH had his deviated septum fixed two years ago. He breathes MUCH MUCH better now. It was SO worth it!

Thanks for the support. I use to work at the hopital and will see a lot of the girls that I use to work with so that is a good thing. I had thought of taking my PC bag but they told me only to bring my case for my glasses. KG, what kind of surgery are you having?, if you don't mind me asking?

Good luck April!! Look at the positives...like you'll see some of your old work friends, and as was suggested, maybe try to strike up some business with them! And, hey, you can fit some business cards in your glasses case if you can't bring a bag!!!

I hope everything goes well. We'll all be thinking about you here.

I had my adnoids taken out when I got my tonsils out at 21 yrs old. It really put me down for a good 4-5 days. They say it is harder on adults than children and it really is. Anyway I didn't have close to what you are having done, but I am glad I had them taken out. It has been 7 yrs now and I don't get sick as much as I used to. My sinuses are so much better with my adnoids out. You will do fine and let your family take care of you. Milk if for all it's worth. My husband always does even if he has a headache.

I'm scheduled for major oral surgery. I'm going to have to have several weeks of HBO therapy before the surgery and for at least two weeks afterward. That's really screwing up my work schedule.

And before the rest of you smartdonkeys (like me) jump on HBO - that's not cable movies, it's HyberBaric Oxygen therapy.

Awww...KG, you took the wind out of my sails!!!Seriously, I hope you both have perfect surgeries and get tons of fabulous treatment!

I'm surprised you didn't accuse me of taking a dive.
