@Zen108 I really like this vid for some reason lol. And the comments are good too :D
surgeryyy (kinda freaked out)
-
:grimacing: so tomorrow i go in for a couple minor surgeries and its actually kinda scary, i'm the type of person who wants to completely understand what's going on. so i've spent all day lying in bed researching what could go wrong, watching the procedure online, and this morning when i woke up i wasn't too scared, but now i'm kind of terrified.
-
@andria dont be too worried. The docs do this all the time and probably have done your thousands of times before!
-
@andria i just got surgery if you wanna talk! everything went well
-
@mrot32 yes they probably have but i have awful luck and each surgery that they complete and don't mess up increases my odds of me being the 1 in a 1000 that gets killed, or paralyzed. especially because i'm getting three done so triple my bad luck odds.
-
@andria statistically maybe but thats the wrong way to look at it. Just be confident in your specific doctor!
-
you said it yourself they are minor surgeries!
-
@mrot32 ive never had surgery before so ive never met this surgeon and its not that easy for me to put all that trust into a stranger. they could literally sneeze and kill me
-
@andria i would never have surgery with a doctor i havent met yet. that is dumb. dont do it
-
@mrot32 we've had a meeting but it was a quick 5 minute chat about the risks
-
can i ask what procedure?
-
@mrot32 septum realignment, Inguinal hernia repair, and im getting my tonsils and adenoids removed. so ill kinda be in the hospital for a while and they'll more than likely keep me for a few days and then ill be in recovery for a few weeks
-
@mrot32 i was playing volleyball and jumped up for a hit and strained my hip/ thigh and it caused a hernia, i didn't have much pain from it afterwards until here recently when i was walking my dog and he saw another dog and pulled the leash from my hand, resulting in busting open my hernia.
-
@andria i would submit that the majority of surgeons did not grow up ... cutting on people while they're alive kinda freaks me out.
-
I hope that things go relatively smoothly. Pleas keep us updated. Will you have friends or family there at the hospital most of the time?
-
@sᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇʀ it definitely freaks me out!! i don't think i'm going to get any sleep tonight.
-
@premedstudent thank you i hope they do as well, i will absolutely post again after surgery and let everyone know how it went. and because its relatively minor surgeries, and i moved closer to my college so my sister is going to come and a really good friend but the rest of my family are sending their best wishes but won't be making it.
-
@andria Message me!
-
@andria please message me im tottally geeked over you
-
@mrot32 lol okay you text me and ill respond lol
-
If the surgeons are professionals, you should trust that everything will be fine in the end.
