conv: I was very anxious when my son had his tonsils taken out When my son was 5 years old_comma_ he had to have his tonsils taken out. I thought it would be nothing_comma_ but when they went to take him back_comma_ I got so anxious.  Was he okay? I've never heard of that going wrong. Yeah_comma_ he was fine_comma_ but I had read a few horror stories online. I knew I shouldn't_comma_ but I did.  That's where you went wrong lol. I'm glad he was fine. I would've been scared if it were one of my kids too. Surgery is still surgery.
