So it is currently 1:30 am and I just cannot sleep. I’m getting a septoplasty tomorrow and that’s all I’ve been thinking about. I’m actually not as nervous now as I was before, but still worried about how everything will go.

Am I overreacting? Has anybody else felt like this the night before surgery?

Yes, completely normal, you will be fine. I was in your shoes, stressed before the surgery. When I’ve woke up after surgery, my first thought was „Really? That’s it? It wasn’t that bad”.

Quickly followed by “ah, that’s the good stuff” when I click that sweet, sweet morphine button.

Same! I was feeling out for months leading up to it. Turned out to be nothing at all.
