So in short the tonsillectomy went well. It's a very quick procedure which thankfully I was put under for (standard). I was admitted to hospital on the 11/01/11 and got out on the 13/11/11. I'm on a heavy course/routine of pain killers and antibiotics which make the pain bearable but the only downside is when they wear off. When they do.... SHEER AGONY.
Anyway there is roughly a 14 day recoup time and in the long run the whole procedure is for the best. Thank God my only real medical complaint over the years was the one throat infection after another. So this should once and for all put an end to it. I want to spend 2011 a lot healthier than 2010 and previous years.
Tomorrow I'm due to go in for a tonsillectomy. I hoping it actually goes ahead as I've had a bit of a nightmare last two weeks with a bug of some sort that involved a sore throat, initial temperature, lack of energy and a dry cough. A few co-workers had the same so it seems to be a winter bug. The cough is still very slightly hanging around so I'm unsure if they'll do it.
I've suffered (martyr me !!!) for years with my throat. From a slight sore throat to tonsillitis and strep throat. Sometimes as often as 5-6 a year. In the last 6 months alone I've had 5...... So the time has come and after waiting 6 months tomorrow is D Day, or T Day in this case.
Like all surgeries there is risks that go with it, so fingers crossed everything goes ok and the big man looks after me. I think the 2-3 weeks recovery period is going to be enough of a pain as it is.
If it goes ahead, this is happening to me tomorrow...... :-S Enjoy the vid and I'll post soon, I hope.
