:'( I am 37 yrs old female & its been about 1 week since I had my tonsils out & I am having so much problems... I was in the hospital yesterday for dyhridration (?) & I can't get anything in my system. I feel sooo weak & all I do is lay around I have no energy. I try to eat & drink but, when I do my goodnes my tongue burns like crazy... I just want to feel better & I am feeling so lost & confused. I wish I never got this done if I could just turn back time... I am supposed to start college next week & I don't think this is going to happen. I have pain meds & I feel blah when I take them & I get sick my my belly from standing to long etc.... I don't understand why my tongue hurts & burns so bad... Is this normal? When will I be able to go on with my life again? I just hate this plus I keep getting scatchy feeling in my throat & I keep coughing & gagging & I am trying to drink as much as I can... Can someone please help to give me advice!!!! Thanks ?
