BOY was he right! i ended up getting my tonsils out last wednesday! all went well with the surgery but the recovery part has honestly been the worst experience of my life! i am hoping in the next week or 2 it will all pay off! this is day 5 so the doctor said it will start getting better after today! but the pain!!!!!! my ears, throat and jaw have never hurt so bad in all my life!
the pain killers i got, i have been taking those every 4 hours and those just make me dizzy so i have honestly just been sleeping. but today i decided no more pain killers!!! travis had to get back to school and work so i have my baby boy who needs me. i cannot wait until i can eat some food again! i have only had sonic slushies & ice water! i tried eating oatmeal yesterday morning for breakfast but that even hurt going down! i am 11 pounds down but i actually don't even want to lose any more weight!
my family sent me these lovely flowers....
on a brighter side, travis is done with school in only a month in a half! i got called to be the secretary in the primary presidency which i am super excited about! i am coming down to arizona the week of thanksgiving! and its the best time of year!
Hey tahnee...totally know what youre going through and it sucks! I told you it was worse than even a c-section recovery...but it should be getting better within a week or so! I tried to eat a french fry on day 3 or so after my surgery and almost choked to death cause it hurt so bad...so popsicles for two weeks and lost 20 pounds. Crazy but just think...your throat will not hurt ANY more!!! Feel better! :)
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness..i was just trying to explain to people at work last week about these little chunks that come out of my throat...they had no idea what i was talking about! traci gets them too- more than me i think! they have a NAME! thats crazy. i wish they woulda removed my tonsils years ago- but i think i'm too much of a baby to get mine out! no thanks! :S i hope you feel better SOON! & gain back that weight woman!
ReplyDeleteI have had those tonsil stones for years! i didn't know what they were! They are SO gross and stink SO bad! Maybe I should get my tonsils out...I wouldn't mind losing weight! ;) Good luck and feel better!
ReplyDeleteLacey had to have her's removed last year. They had grown into her neck and were huge. It was awful!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're on the recovery!
Oh my gosh that is crazy! I get those too!! I am so sorry, it sucks not being able to eat food! I hope you feel better soon!!! On the bright side, H&M opened today! YAY!!!!
ReplyDeleteTonsils are so interesting. Kids recover from tonsillectomy's way better than adults. And yay for primary :) You'll love it, it's seriously the best calling in the church!
