So for several years now my doc has been telling me I really really need to have my tonsils taken out. Every time I am sick my tonsils swell up to where they almost touch and then each time they don’t shrink too much.
So after this last bought of sickness, where I finally saw how bad they were, I finally decided it was time they went bye bye. Everything I have read and been told says the older you get the worse the surgery/recovery is….and well I am not getting any younger.
So Friday December 18th at 7:30am my tonsils and I will be breaking up. :)
The surgery will take place at Mercy Fairfield in their outpatient center. If everything goes well I should be home by that afternoon.
I will be off work for at least 1 week, possibly 2 depending on my recovery.
I would appreciate your prayers/good thoughts for the surgery and recovery. You are welcome to visit while I am off.
So yeah…Dec 18th…d-day for my tonsils.
SO glad to hear that you’re finally taking the lunge & going ahead w/the surgery. I will look forward to a 1-year anniversary post to see how you fared in 2010 w/out them. My guess is that you will wonder why you didn’t have the surgery sooner… :-) Hope everything goes well & that you have a speedy (and uncomplicated) recovery.
Thanks Jean! I am sure life post-tonsils will be good!
