My doctor says I need more surgery...

Tweet

I've been out of commission the last couple days with a sinus/bronchial infection that feels like it's taken over my entire body. I went to the doctor to get some antibiotics, and this time was a bit different than other visits. I'm prone to sinus infections, as I've had a deviated septum (slight broken nose) my whole life. The infections are becoming worse and worse, and my doctor has suggested I get the deviated septum corrected, as well as get my adenoids and tonsils removed, to help stop me from getting sick so badly so often. This is a huge relief, as I've been considering this kind of procedure for years, to get rid of these awful bouts of sickness, and I've had several much more major surgeries to other parts of my body in the past; but still, now that I may have to go under the knife again, I'm getting a bit nervous. Has anyone had this kind of procedure done before? I know it's pretty standard and not much downtime, but something about having surgery on my face is unsettling...
