tonsils should have stayed put

My advice: when I was younger, doctors told my parents I should have my tonsils out all the time.  For some reason or another, it never happened.  Then the doctors stopped saying it but each new doctor would say that I had "the biggest" tonsils they'd ever seen.  So, whenever I got a common cold, my parents would tell me it was because they had never acted on doctors' advice when I was growing up.  Well, it was smart that they didn't and I never should have either.  I'm on day 8 and have never been in this much pain.  I'm 23 and this is not my first surgery.  Since last Friday, I've already had a trip to the ER, post-op anesthesia problems, and problems with my medication.  Two days ago my ears started to kill, which is somewhat common (which the doctors never once mentioned).  There was a lot of double-talk with this procedure; no one gave me a straight answer in terms of: How long the recovery would take, what I should eat, what I would be able to eat/drink, all the possible complications, the ear/jaw problems, the nausea, the other bowel problems that are apparently "extremely common" once I researched my medications, etc... I never should have had this done so if you're on this site looking for something to make you change your mind, here's your post.
