I'm tonsil-less!

So last weekend was spent at Pismo, which was fun. This weekend will be spent laid up because I got my tonsils removed yesterday!

Here's a post I made in Beanies:

Had the surgery yesterday. My mom and Chris were there the whole time.

The nurse for my surgery and the anesthesiologist
were funny and had me laughing before they put me under. I saw my
doctor (Dr. Block) once before the surgery, right when the
anesthesiologist showed up, but I saw the anesthesiologist like 4
times. I told them general anesthesia and me don't work. So they gave
me some nausea stuff during the surgery and a bit afterwards, but I
still woke up nauseas and there was just no way I could have made it to
the car. So I stayed in recovery a bit longer than I would have. They
gave me some other nausea medicine, which helped me loads, but had a
side effect of making you sleepy (I was already having problems waking
up at first). So it was a rush to get me dressed and out to the car as
soon as they could. I fell asleep in the car and when I got home. I
slept most of yesterday. I had some nausea when I got up to go to the
restroom (they pumped me with a LOT of fluids before I left), but was
okay till later when I had some homemade chicken broth and apple sauce.
Stomach didn't like it, so I vomited. Definitely didn't feel good, but
the good thing was there was no bleeding. Few hours later I felt like a
scrambled egg so my mom made me one and I kept that down. I had two
more scrambled eggs today.

The doctor said my tonsils were "a
mess" as my mom tells me. They were full of infection and were so large
that they were irritating the wall of my throat so he said I may be
sore around there (boy am I!). I ended up sleeping on the couch to stay
upright last night. Wasn't the best place to sleep, but it was better than my bed trying to sleep upright. I wouldn't have accomplished that.

I
haven't been taking too much of my liquid tylenol with codine. My
throat is fine as long as I don't swallow and the codine makes me
sleepy and groggy. So I've only taken 1 tsp in the last 14 hours. I'm
feeling loads better today, but really weak. I shouldn't even be on my
computer this much, but I wanted to check everything.

I basically feel like I have the world's worst sore throat. It hurts a LOT to swallow so every swallow is a definite chore and I think about why I have to swallow quite a bit before I do it. I did take a shower today so I feel a bit more human at least.

With that...I'm off to laze around some more and maybe eat something...
