I am on day 13 after my Tonsillectomy. Before having the procedure done, I read the post, and felt pretty prepared for what was in store for me. To say the least, I was wrong. This experience has been by far, one of the worse in my life, and I am not exaggerating. As I type this post right now, I am in pain. I remember waking up in recover, crying from the pain. The only thing I remember from the past two weeks, is pain. After my surgery, I slept a lot. I attempted to drink water, but that was a no go, which left me in the hospital at 2:00 am dehydrated a day and a half after my surgery. I got some fluids and was on my way. The days after that, were a blur. Pain and sleep. I didn't even care about eating, it was the last thing on my mind. Day 6, I woke up to a steady flow of blood. Went into the doctors office, where he sent me down to have another surgery. More pain. The week passed and hunger started to set in. Until yesterday, I became sick to my stomach. A few days before, I tried to eat on Valentine's Day, but the food would get stuck, and I would gag on it, and eventually vomit. My taste buds are in the towelette. Which leaves me where I am now. Not at all interested in , I hate to see, smell, or taste it. I went into the dr office, and he told me that I have 7-10 days of the same and then I'll see the light.

Needless to say guys, I am usually a very optimistic person, and am able to tolerate pain. I don't usually whine or complain about things, but here, i feel Like I have to be honest. and this surgery and the recovery is honestly horrible. It test your wits and brings you to your absolute lowest. I was trying to explain to my mom, the experience, and all I could say, is life altering. i have told my husband that the pain is humbling, it makes you wanna change your life around, do right.

For all of you that haven't experienced it, make sure that you have a support team. A team of individuals that don't mind hanging in there for the long hall. People that don't mind taking care of you. For those of you who have experienced it and are living it now, my prayers are serious with you, one day soon, we will be ourselves again!!!
