So I am 22 and my tonsils and adenoids were removed yesterday. I am miserable. I am barely able to swallow my own spit and ice chips. I am taking my pain medicine about every 5 hours, but my stomach is so sore from the not eating and taking the medicine. I have the worst headache and it hurts to move my head. Also, I can't lay on my back because when i do my swollen uvula moves when I try to breathe and makes me feel like I am suffocating. I also can't talk. I am annoyed by this and am wanting everyone around me to go away, because I feel awful.

So I keep hearing that it's going to get worse and I just don't know if I can take worse. I mean seriously I am miserable. I don't even want to get up to pee because it takes so much energy. I feel awful.

I have managed to eat a little sherbert, but that's about it. I was thinking ok I can handle eating ice cream and all that for a few days, but I can't because it makes the phelgm thicker and hurts like hell. I was warned before I tried it.

Also, lets not forget that my boyfriend was very open today in telling me that my breathe was awful smelling. I mean like it's my fault.

Any tips to make it better?
