I'm much better now without my tonsils than I was with them, and I'm not entirely healed yet either!
It has taken longer for me to heal because I had a "bleeder" that had to be cauterized. I was in quite a bit of pain, most of which was felt in my left ear and the left side of my throat.
I can breathe much easier without those gigantic tonsils in the way and am looking forward to being totally healed in a few more weeks. I'm going to try a few foods that used to irritate my tonsils and see what happens.
The worst part of the whole tonsil ordeal was seeing the bill that arrived two nights ago. If I didn't have any insurance I'd be worse off than I am now. Instead of my $5k max out of pocket expense, I'd be in debt well over $14k! (I nearly fell over when I saw the bill, no exaggeration.)

Hi, I don't know you but I found your blog when I was searching for tonsillectomy on google. I'm about to get my tonsils out in 2 weeks and I'm terrified because I'm 25 and they say it will hurt a lot. No one I know has had them out, so I wondered about your procedure. How were the first few days after? How long did you have to wait in the hospital before going home? I'm so worried about it:(
It really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. If your recovery is anything like mine you'll be fine. Liquid vicodin made me not care about the pain. Take it easy, rest, and try not to talk if you can avoid it.
I was in the hospital for about 7 hours after surgery because my back was in a lot of pain. We think it is a reaction to the anaesthesia since after previous surgeries I feel the same way. If it weren't for that, I'd have gone home an hour after surgery.
I hope you feel better! ~Angela

OUCH! Maybe you should have waited till you got Austin. ;^)
Glad to ha=ear everything is going ok on the healing front. has anyone made fun of your nasal voice yet?
Were you makin' a funny? ;-)
My voice hasn't really changed much, or so I've been told. You'll have to tell me next time we talk if I sound any different... ~Angela

All best for you, Angela!
Wow! $14k costs this tonsils operation?! My niece had one about 2 years ago but did not had to pay anything (Germany). The insurance had covered all costs.
