Do you ever have tonsil/adenoids surgery before? I did. That was not great.
Here is my story.
On March or April 2007 in 7th grade. My doctor said that my throat was little bit swollen. So I had surgery. On May 21, 2007....We went to hospital at 530am (maybe little after 530am) and I change my clothes. At 7am, Doctors are ready to cut my tonsil and adenoids out. Then about 9am, I went back to room. I was sleeping for few min. Nurse gave me a orange popslice. I do not eat it...Just lick then put it in cup.
My mouth was so sore. I went to bathroom couple times but I couldn't then threw up
7 time (sorry) because medicine make me throw up. We stayed at hospital for 15 hours. That is so boring. At 11pm, we went to home. I not have a lot of energy. I stay on sofa a lot. I watch DVDs for little bit but I fell asleep heh. I not allowed to eat hot, spicy, hard, sharp, and citrus food. I had to eat same jell-O. I not allowed to drink milk for 2 days. I had to drink a lot of water.
Few days later, I start walk around little bit and use computer. I went to food store with grandma and bought ice cream me! I got Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Brownie Ice Cream! I ate them for breakfast! Anyway, I got two mails from friends. One from school...It made me miss them. I was so mad. I say- I WANT GO TO SCHOOL. I WANT GO TO SCHOOL. Daddy and I went to Bruster Ice Cream store! I got Cake Batter but I not eat much, just few bites.
A week later, I not have great time. I think Saturday, I use computer and I eat purple (raspberry maybe) jell-O. I got spit out and I thought it was jell-O but it was blob of blood (Sorry again) and we had go to hospital then rode in ambulance (I never rode in ambulance, it is my first time) to other hospital. My throat's scabs are falling apart so they had to fix it. Stay at hospital for few hours (better than 15 hours)
Anyway, on June 5. My grandma took me to doctor appointment. Doctor said my throat is fine. I ask her when I can go school? She said Tomorrow (June 6, Wed) then I was so thrilled! Doctor said I had to be careful when eat but June 10, you can eat any food. Next day, my friends did not know that I come. They are so happy to see me. 7th grade students and me go to Subway (Restaurant) for lunch. I was not supposed to eat it but careful. Then June 8, LAST DAY OF SCHOOL.
Two weeks at home was NOT fun. It is so boring. I like to be at school. I still remember what happen two and half years ago!!!!!! I was in 7th grade, last year for high school because middle school start new (Aug 2007) and grade- 5-8. Then 9th grade go to High school again! Some people in my family have tonsil surgery too.

Sounds like you had a tough time with your tonsils! I had mine out when I was 16 (a loooooong time ago!!!) and I was the oldest person on the ward - I thought it would be great to eat all the icecream afterwards, but I hadn't realised how sore it would be!! Hope you are keeping well sweetie x x
ReplyDeleteYou were in the hospital overnight for the second surgery. I am glad it didn't seem that long. Mommy slept on a really cool fold-out chair, and in the morning they did the surgery.
ReplyDeleteI always had swollen tonsils as a child and the doctor talked lots about them being removed. When I was 10 years old I stopped getting tonsilitis but I have had it twice as an adult. It's not nice. You were better to have your tonsils out as a child and now you don't have to worry about getting tonsilitis again. Thanks for sharing your story.
