  |

I am 20 years old and after nine strep throats in six months I was ready to get my tonsils out! I was tired of missing school and work!
The surgery went by fast and felt ok besides being a little nauseated.
I thought the pain would be so much worse. But it wasn't until day four that I realized that the pain could get worse. It was the most horrible thing, waking up literally every four hours to take more pain medication and the burning sensation as I took the medication.
Drinking was hard enough let alone eating! The worst part was that I was having a hard time talking, and couldn't explain to my mom to leave me alone and stop trying to feed me because it wasn't going to work!
Today I am on day nine, I am worried that I am not going to make it back to work at the time I am supposed to. The pain is getting better during the day but at night it is still really bad. The scabs look like they are slowly coming off. And I am still only able to eat popsicle and a little bit of yogurt. I feel weak, and want to have a really good meal! I am craving it, but I am thinking it will be another good week before I can eat something of substance.
Overall I would recommend the surgery only if necessary. I am hoping these two weeks of pain will pay off in the future. |
