Okay, don’t have your tonsils out as an adult…..

I had my tonsils out last week and a UPP, which basically means they cut the dingling thing out of the back of my throat for sleep apnea.  For 48 years I was told I did not have tonsils, let alone needed them out, but went to my ENT and guess what, I not only have them, but they need to come out.  I tell you what, this is one of the most painful things I have ever had done.  It has been almost a week and I am still having to force myself to eat soft foods.  About the only thing that is tolerable is Frosty’s from Wendys.  I never understood how someone had to force themselves to eat, but now I completely understand.  I just spent the last 20 minutes forcing down a cup of yogurt, as I have to eat something or my diabetes gets goofy.  I read somewhere on the internet that in adults the first healing takes up to 10 days and then there is a second healing which takes another 5 to 7.  Wonder if I am going to lose some weight, but could have thought of a better way to diet – LOL.  So, if your doctor tells you that you need your tonsils out, get a second opinion or at least understand that you want some good pain killers and you are going to be in pain for a while.  Till next time…
