I had the same op when I was about 7 (in olden days when they just gave you a stiff drink). I'm not sure if I worried too much about it.
Kids are pretty tough, but they will worry about new experiences.

A stiff drink, lol. Wasn't that the recovery bit too see if you could be discharged? 🤣🤣
Yeah, it's pretty common asked I am sure it's an every day thing for them and kids are resilient as anything. I am sure she will bounce back within a day or two!
I think I've only been put under for two operations (maybe another for dental as a kid) plus a few on local anaesthetic.
I was under loads as a kid for dental stuff but as an adult only a couple of times too. One time they gave me a nerve block on my foot and I wish they had put me out because the tugging on it was awful!
Having my mouth numbed for wisdom tooth removal was 'interesting'. I've also had a couple of lumbar punctures (spinal tap!). Modern medicine is a wonderful thing. Be glad not to be born before anaesthetic.
I had a mad numbing for a wisdom tooth. It was good in the respect that I really couldn't feel a thing.
Lumbar punctures, they sound scary!
It would be a nightmare to be born in the time before anaesthetic!
