Hey guys, I just wanted to ask a few questions about my tonsillectomy. I'm 14, and got my tonsils out 6 days ago. So over the time, my cousins from New York came (and this'll be a long post) ^_^ for day 1 and day 2 (days after the day of the operation) which made me feel better. Now I'm in high school. So, anyway, I'll just post a journal while I'm at it ^_^ Day 0- Day of the Operation It was 3 AM when I woke up .__. Left at 6, Operation at 9, woke up at 10. I woke up pretty well, could feel like small shards poking me when I swallow but not like the following days. Just tingly. I ate my cup of vanilla ice cream (didn't want the chocolate) and left about 11 because I felt really well. Talked well, ate well, walked well. But after I got home, I went to sleep, woke up, slept again, and then again once more. Finally went to sleep and woke up in the morning. Day 1- Day after The pain was around 6-7. Although the pain medication (Tylenol+Codeine) was working well. Taking my pain med twice a day every 12 hours, this nasty white medicine that smells like oranges every twice a day every 12 hours, and the ear drops for the tubes (SMALL tubes that look exactly like the O's in noodle soup) they inserted in my ear 5 times a day every 12 hours. The pain when the drop went in my ear was horrific and denied taking them the whole day. Ate soup once, and a cup of jell-o and applesauce. I also couldn't talk. Day 2 Better. 5-6 pain. Ate way more applesauce (about 5 cups the whole day total) and a bit of Jell-O. Took my medicine, and my ear drops because my cousins inspired me to lol. Day 3 6-7 pain. Cousins left. Ate soup, applesauce, and jello. (Keep forgetting to mention about drinking Gatorade) took the medicine and ear drops. Day 4 5-6 pain. Tried eating Mac and Cheese and actually finished the whole bowl. My throat hurt after eating it after, however. Ate applesauce, jello, drank Gatorade. Day 5 4-5 pain. It goes really down, but not enough to eat everything. I ate grapes which were really good and had no problem swallowing them. :) and ate really well. Started getting this burn on the left side of my throat probably where the tonsil used to be and I still have it. I also started growing sick of being hungry and at home all day while my family eats everything and my brother goes to the gym without me. Though he stays making me feel better, bought me shows that I've always wanted and is also gonna take me out to eat once I can. Miss school, normal life. But knowing I'm close to 14 days is nice. Day 6 Woke up, had soup took meds and my pain medication finally ran out :( . I didn't have much pain today (5-6). I ate two boneless fish today, grapes, and more soup with a piece of bacon my mom gave me to try out. She keeps offering me food to cheer me up and try them, but I decline because I'm scared it'll hurt, like the sandwich she made that I couldn't eat. Today was an enlightening day. I also could talk, but if I talk for a few sentences it'll start hurting. Jut took my medication and ear drops. My mom is going out to buy the plain Tylenol at the pharmacy tomorrow since ill probably wake up in pain due to the fact I've ran out. It's 1:30 AM but I probably won't sleep till 3, watching a movie. ^_^ I'll keep updated on day 7 tomorrow, a WEEK! :) trying to make these days go quick. But when are scabs going to fall off (if they're formed) and am I having a good recovery? When can I start eating again normally? I'm craving a burger! .-. My doctor's appointment is on Thursday next week so hopefully ill be eligible to go to school the next day! :)
