I am 16 years old, and had my tonsils removed on june 23rd, 2014. I am now 8 days post op. My scabs have began to fall off, with hurt like theres no tomorrow, but as more and more falls out, my throat feels better! I ate french fries yesterday! Deffinitely feeling better. Just want to tell everyone theres light at the end of this very very dark tunnel. This has by far been one of the most painful thing ive ever experienced. But its getting way better.
