I am on day 9, well wait, no day 4 because I had a really bad bleed and ended up in the icu for two days with having them re cauterized. 5 things better than tonsillectomy:<br />1. Getting his by a car going 55 miles breaking my collarbone and having to have a metal plate put in to fix it. 3 months later the pins worked themselves out and had to have the plate removed and the collarbone rebreaking. <br />2. Falling down a flight of stairs and breaking ankle. Resetting the ankle was awesome...<br />3. Giving birth three times, 1 normal, 2 c-section and 3 failed vbac and c-section. <br />4. Stitches after attempting to hurdle a bobwire fense (10 stitches and tetnus shot.)<br />5. All the other broken bones I have had. This is the worst and feels like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Haven't ate food besides jello for 9 days.

I'm on day 8 and it seems like we had almost the same experiences but one. I do not hear about people getting thrush. I got it bad and I think that made it worse for me because the whole mouth and throat are on fire. I see the doc tomorrow for a follow up on that. As for my top 5 here you go.<br /><br />1) Cutting my index finger off with a table saw.<br />2) Getting a tetanus shot in the wound of my freshly cut off finger.<br />3) Getting backstabbing acid reflux- the kind that doubles you over. Hoping this is linked and goes away after surgery.<br />4) Food Poisoning. Sure that was way easier than this is.<br />5) Anything has got to be better than this!Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11078399664570676214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574526854094689862.post-49614017335918153652015-06-21T10:39:09.806-06:002015-06-21T10:39:09.806-06:00I'm on day 3.

I found that applesauce is great to swallow pills with too! Italian ices are far better than ice cream. I tried sleeping in the recliner but could not. I found that sleeping on my side leaning slightly forward worked to keep my uvula from choking me. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
