Surgery

So I had surgery this morning to remove my tonsils & adenoids. It is the end of about four months of sore throats/strep/infections etc. It was outpatient and they are really efficient there (I have been there before when I had knee surgery). Now I knew (and know) this was going to be no walk in the park. I know how painful it is to have them out as an adult & the doctor told me it would be horrible for a good 7 days and then I will make a turn for the better. Apparently days 3-4 are the worst, yeah not looking forward to it. Right now I cannot talk, major sore throat, horrible swallowing and major headache. I am not looking forward to it getting worse!!

I ended up getting their special pre-op room (luck of the draw) with a comfy chair. That was really nice. Then I actually remember going into the operating room, but then I was out very soon after and in recovery. At home Pancake spent some time with me snuggled up and I have spent the entire day in my room eating popsicles, pudding and gatorade. I have gone through a lot of shows on Netflix and I have barely slept. It is so painful to sleep, so hopefully I will just crash of exhaustion.

Oddly it was discovered that I did not have adenoids. I either wasn’t born with them or my tonsils destroyed them, haha. The surgeon actually was convinced I had them out and my mom had to say no, she never has. Haha. He also told her that it was a good thing they came out because they were horrible, infected and just totally gone. So, well I am not looking forward to the pain that is probably coming (I pray it isn’t!), in the long run it will be worth it.

Please pray for a quick (and as painless as possible) recovery. Thanks

Pancake snuggled with me most of the day.

My sister brought me a lion stuffed animal in an adorable Minnie Mouse bag. It was really sweet.

Kendra also brought me a Fancy Nancy coloring book and glitter crayons. Fun stuff!
