I Want To Keep All My Original Parts *SOBS*

I had always prided myself on the fact that I have never had to have surgery, and thus have kept all of the "optional" parts I was put on this planet with (appendix, gallbladder, adnoids, tonsils, etc). Well, not anymore. I found out on Tuesday that I have to have a tonsilectomy because I have badly absessed tonsils which are actually making me sick. I have to have it ASAP, but I have not scheduled it yet. Needless to say, I am not looking forward to this procedure. Adults have a much longer and painful recovery thatn children apparently. I can expect to be out of work for anywhere from 10 days to 6 weeks. My ENT said he would basically keep me doped up the first week because that way I won't be alert enough to even know I am in pain. I wish my doctors would have had the foresight to do this 15 years ago instead of doing it when I am almost thirty. I so want my Mommy!
