Tonsillectomy Recovery

I am finally starting to feel like myself again. The recovery from having my tonsils out was much harder than I anticipated. It is so strange how painful it is to have your tonsils out. The first three days I was doing just fine. I was in some pain, but it was tolerable. Then over the next five days I got worse each day. I got to the point where I couldn't eat anything. Since I wasn't eating I start having nausea problems from taking pain medicine on an empty stomach. Let me you tell you, throwing up after having your tonsils out is not fun especially at three in the morning. It was a very rough night. Then the next three nights I did not sleep at all. It was too painful when I woke up that it was not worth it. Finally a week after the surgery I went back to the doctor because I was basically at my breaking point. I needed a break from the pain. He said I could either get a steroid shot and a stronger pain medicine or go stay at the hospital for a night or two. I decided to try the steroid shot and new pain medicine. Within an hour of getting the shot I started to feel better. It made such a difference and made the pain much more tolerable. Finally by Monday I started to feel much better. This week I have been so exhausted. I guess my body is trying to recover after not sleeping for so many nights in a row. I am so glad to have it behind me. I still haven't heard anything about the biopsy. I am hoping no news is good news. I have an appointment next week, so hopefully I will know then. Thank you so much for all of your prayers.
