You are 12 years old and having your adenoids and tonsils removed tomorrow and you are very scared what can you do not be scared?
Fwmh
It is quite normal to be scared, you should tell you mom, dad or guardian that you are scared and they and the nurses will help you. I have had the same operation and I can assure you that you don't or know or remember anything about the operation so don't worry.
