I had my tonsils taken out on Monday! It is now Thursday! And I am in a lot of pain, but it's not unbearable more frustrating I'd say. I was very nervous as I had never been to hospital before but when I got there all the doctors and nurses were so nice and made me feel relaxed. I was more scared about the needle to be honest and my doctor gave me some 'magic cream' I'm almost 20 btw lol. It felt very weird being put to sleep but was gone so fast you really don't know about it and also the needle didn't even hurt ! When I woke up i said to the nurse 'it doesn't even hurt!' She was just like 'yeahh' . I had hardly any pain but I was very dizzy and sick from the anaesthetic and i was sick, it was more like water than acid so It didn't hurt it made me feel a little bit better to be honest, it did have blood in it though. I eat a sandwich and went home later that day and I then eat chicken and new potatoes. The next day my throat was very sore! And eating was harder , but I eat a chicken curry and crusty roll and them some ice cream , had a nap and then woke up and tried sausage and mash which I couldn't finish because I the pain. It's more the fact that your tongue is bruised so it's hard to chew and the obvious that your throat is very sore but eating is the only thing that will make you feel better. My mum said 'fat girl is doing very well for Someone that's had there tonsils taken out the day before' lol I'm not Actually fat btw. Yesterday was very painful I couldn't speak at all and it took me an hour and a half to eat Shepard's pie , I feel it's more frustrating that you are really hungry and everyone else around you is acting like annoying self centred bastards .. 'What did you say?!! ' when they know full well you can't talk! And also the fact they eat 100 mph and are jumping around being loud when you are going thru a hard patch and need some peace and quite because your already half death from the swollen throat. My friend rung me and goes 'you are so lucky to be able to do nothing and have two weeks off! My feet are wet because it's raining and I'm on my way to KFC for my lunch break' I thought fuxking cheek! With a massive gasp for air I said 'lolly (her name) please go f**k your self, I can't even move my tongue you ungrateful botch' well she didn't text me till later on that night but who gives a f**k. Anyway after a bowel of ice cream my throat was bearable ! And I feel to sleep.. I woke up about half 2/3 in the morning and it did feel like I was swallowing glass, I have found that it's best to get up and sit up don't lay down all day , drink a lot of ice cold drinks also, I have taken two extra strong pain killers and it feels so much better! I'm hoping that tomorrow will get better! But it's really big as shocking as people say, it's all to scare you ! Eat a lot of salt too! Only thing that's keeping me going is the thought of nandos and never having to deal with a sore throat again after this! And for anyone reading this that has not throat problems
