Good Luck! Should be a simple operation. Had mine out at eight years old. Didn't need to, but the doctor told my mom that it would be easier when I am young than when I become an adult. Don't know if that were true or just his opion. My two cousins and I were suppose to have ours taken out together, but they didn't show up. So there I was in a room with three beds alone for over night stay. My door was open and I seen a nurse go past. I swear the needle she had went from her finger tip to half way down her arm, but it probably only went two inches past her wrist. If she would have come in my room I would have bailed. They would have been looking for me. As it was they gave me two shots. First shot was in my left arm, but the second was in my posterior, derriere, or bottom. Proud to say it took five nurses to give it to me. Four to hold me and one to do the deed. Took me down to surgery and put the gas mask on, then counted backwards from ten. Only got to five, then woke up next morning with sore throat and two drops of blood on the pillow. Never got the ice cream they promised, and couldn't eat chips cause of the salt. Hope everything goes well, and you don't have to suffer with a sore throat too long.
