    Hey All,

    My God...So November 1st I am going in for Strabismus Surgery. I'm nervous. That is in like a week. Maybe more than a week? Anyways, I'm NERVOUS. Did I already say that? :***: I think I did. This is a really weird feeling for me because most of the time I am never nervous...I think what has me freaked out the most is what if something goes wrong. I know this rarely happens but still, it is my first surgery and I don't exactly like the thought of somebody cutting my eye open. :eek: Sorry if I grossed some of you out but I need a place to tell somebody how I am feeling.

    Thanks for listening to me rant,
    Thomas :icon_bigg

    Hey, it is a pretty common procedure. My sister had it done to her, you have nothing to worry about, it will go fine! Still, good luck! :slight_smile:

    You'll be fine! :slight_smile: My sister had it done when she was about 2 if not younger, it wasn't a big deal. She got to ride the hospital's tricycle into the OR, and when it was over, they gave her a Popsicle while in the recovery room. :grin: Okay, so you might not get these amazing perks on account of your age, but I'm sure everything will go well anyway. Good luck!
