Tonsils-geddon
February 13, 2010 smileswch
It’s almost been a month after Tonsil surgery. I’m going to keep it real. I would not do that shit again in my life..
Say it with me! *Hated IT!*
The mucus was killer! The nausea was never ending for a minute. I had constant vomiting too!
Did I say constipation? I was texting good friends like day 9! No BM! lol I have a weird sense of humor. The naracotics of the medicines will keep you lock up. You need to drink plenty of water and Activia . Let me say this! Say no to any laxatives.. That is all. I have to say about!
What issues do I now have a month later? I am dehydrated alot as of late. My uvula swells and causes choking and coughing issues for me. So I try to drink 32 oz to 64 oz of water. I’m still a Gatorade a girl! I still have referred ear pain. It is not as great as it was the 2nd week after surgery. Keep those ears covered and warm. I put Sweet Oil on a cotton ball and nuked it for 5 seconds. It gave me such relief in my ears.
Some reason, My feet are cold too. It could be circulation issues. I’ve had 3 post op visits. The last visit, I was diagnosed with GERD. I was given Prilosec. (Just a little note: A previous surgery, the doctor gave me Prilosec before the surgery. I had no GERD related symptons)
I have not looked at the back of my mouth for two reasons, fat tongue blocks view. I reeally dont want to see back there. Keeping it real! I can feel the scabs.
It’s probably best to take off 2 weeks of work. I took off 1week. I’m still playing catch up with my rest.
