Hi,
I'm new as of today and only joined as I was searching the internet for exactly this type of topic. I have anxiety issues and I am worried sick about people judging me (+ terrified something will go wrong in surgery!). Only my mum knows I'm having surgery and it was her who actually made the initial appt for me. I'm only 19 so people will be sure to judge. I know for a fact that other members of my family will as they judge other people who have had it done... I worry about my work colleagues and my college roommates...
My mum is hypercritical as she says I shouldn't tell anyone, yet she says I care too much about what others think.. She says I don't need a cover story but I'm terrible at lying and I know if people ask me i will crack. I have informed my boss that I need time off as I have to have my tonsils removed. I think this cover will work for me as everyone who knows me knows I had so much trouble with tonsillitis as a kid and a tonsillectomy usually requires a liquid diet to start in recovery. I can say to people that this boost from having to only have liquids encouraged me to continue....
