Can I Just Skip Tomorrow??

....In fact can I just skip the next two weeks?!?

I have been making up excuses and ways to get out of my Tonsillectomy tomorrow ever since I scheduled it on Monday... That's right I said Tonsillectomy.  To say that I am scared would be an understatement.  Terrified?  Mortified...??  Yes, those are much more fitting.  

I have never had surgery.  I have never had anesthesia.  No stitches.  No drugs (lortab, percocet, etc.).  I have never even been a patient in the hospital!  In fact I can probably count on one hand how many times I've visited a hospital!

I hate needles, blood, protruding objects, swallowing pills, drugs, doctors, hospitals, and pretty much anything medical (oh and Dentists too).  Plus I love food way too much... 


The long story short is that I started to have minor tonsil caused issues the past year or so including tonsil stones and occasional sore throats.  I finally went into a specialists who told me that since I'm young I should just get them out.  At the time, I completely refused that option and couldn't justify such a drastic solution for occasional mild sore throats.  I still actually have a very hard time justifying it (hence all the excuses this week), but it's to the point that I get at least one sore throat daily and now really is the best and only time to do it - while I'm jobless, childless and young... less?  

Anyway, I am doing it up in Logan since that was the quickest way to get it done.  It'll be an early morning since the surgery is scheduled for 7:30 a.m.  I'm pretty sure I'll be passed out before they even get the IV in me.

Well wish me luck!!  I sure am going to need it.  I'll keep you all posted.  Don't worry I'll spare you the dirty details :)
