At my age, one simply does not anticipate requiring a Tonsillectomy. It doesn't seem right. Nonetheless, I am scheduled to have my tonsils and adenoids removed on October 30.
No Halloween festivities for me this year.
I am not looking forward to the excruciating pain everyone tells me I'll experience. Recovery could be up to three weeks, so I'm buying instant cold packs, non-acidic fruit juices, pudding cups, frozen yogurt, and anything else I can think of to help the healing.
