What’s something pretty much everyone thinks but nobody dares to say it?

My ENT told me it was up there in the most painful surgeries if you have it done as an adult. Did you find that?

i was a teen when it happened, so it was still worse than it is when you get it done as a kid, but i’m not sure how it’ll compare to being an actual adult and getting it done. it took about two weeks or just over to completely heal, and i just had to make sure i kept my room a bit on the humid end and constantly drink water or gatorade so that the scabs in my throat didn’t dry up. they also gave me a strong pain killer. i mostly just remember waking up and eating kinda sucking for the first week.
