Tonsils

Well on Monday I had my tonsils taken out and let me tell you that it sucks. I wish that they would have been taken out when I was a kid because kids recover from this surgery a lot faster and easier then adults do. So I went in at 9:30 and was is surgery at around 11. The surgery was about 45 minutes and I was told that it went really well. I did not leave to go home till 4:30. I had gotten sick from the pain medication that they gave me so they then gave me something to help my stomach but that mad me really sleepy so it took much longer for me to be able to leave. About an hour after we got home I ended up throwing up and wishing that I had never had the surgery in the first place. I pretty much just ended up sleeping the rest of the day after that. Vicki took the kids for us during the surgery and Melissa took them over night. Then on Tuesday my mom and Melissa came over with all of the boys and helped to take care of me. Melissa took the boys over night once again and at 3 in the morning I woke up throwing up again. Man I was so miserable. Throwing up after having surgery on your throat is not the greatest feeling in the world. So Andy called the doctor in the morning and we found out that I was getting sick from my pain medication and that I needed to cut down on how much I was taking and add Motrin to my regiment. He also said that I need to be eating more to help but it is really hard to eat when you can not swallow very well. Then Vicki took the boys over night on Wednesday. I have had a much better day today and have been able to eat a little more. I have been enjoying yogurt, pudding, chicken noodle soup, mashed avocado, cream of wheat and carnation instant breakfast. I was also able to do a little talking today. I was told that it is a 10 to 14 day recovery for adults so I still have a little ways to go. I am hoping that when this is all said and done that I am glad that I had the surgery. I do not know what I would have done without the help of my family. They have been so much help to me with taking care of the boys and me. Thank you so much mom. Melissa and Vicki. I appreciate all the help that you have given me.
