Getting Nervous

Well, tomorrow is the big day. I am ready to get this over with and for the next 2 weeks to go by. I'm not afraid or nervous about the surgery itself, but the way I'll feel afterward. A few posts I've read online say it's just like a bad sore throat when you're sick. One of my cousins had her tonsils out when she was 18, and she said it was the worst pain she's ever felt in her life. Gee...thanks for sharing that. I'm all stocked up on ice cream, popsicles, and Gatorade. I also have pudding, and even some tea to drink. The one constant thing I've seen online is to drink, drink, drink. Even one guy said that you're encouraged to sleep, but if you're sleeping you're not drinking, and drinking will do more to make you feel better. We'll see. Some of that drinking will be the drugs I'm taking. On the left is my antibiotic, Clindamycin. The drug facts on it are kinda scary! I could suffer severe digestive problems. I'll not go into details, but ew (paragraph 2). When the pharmacist was mixing it she said warned me that it smells like kitty litter. Yum! The other bottles are my mix of hydrocodone and acetaminophen. I'm a little worried that's going to have me knocked off of my rocker.

I did cry a little last night. I think it bothers me so much because the surgery is in my mouth. It's going to affect my eating and drinking. (Affect, right? Or is it effect? I never know!) Not only eating and drinking, but talking, swallowing, breathing! Let's just get this over with.
