After 21 years of you wreaking havoc with my health - tomorrow we officially part ways forever.

I should be saying, "Goodbye and good riddance you asshole Tonsils", but instead I think I MIGHT actually miss you :(

You got me a LOT of days off school over the years.

*sniffle, sniffle*









































































What the hell am I saying? GTFO already!

Sincerely,
Quinntastic

Thank you "GO IRISH" for my lovely ice cream gift! I bought myself a pint of ben and jerry's - that should last me all week - hopefully.

If not I got some raspberry jello to go along with it :)

My surgery is at 5:15 pm tomorrow evening

And after midnight I can't eat anything or drink anything til after my surgery.

WTF that gives me 7 minutes to eat for the next 22 hours.

*scarfs down all food in sight*

Thanks - they just called to move my surgery up an hour. So at least that's one less hour I have to go without eating.

I'm already starving :(

I had my tonsils, adnoids and uvula (yes, that little punching bag in the back of your mouth...everyone get their mind out of the gutter) all removed at one time a few years back. It was awful....but the liquid vicadin was nice!

Good luck...it'll all be OK.

The uvula is used to make sure that water and food, while swallowing, does not enter your nasal cavaity.

Yes....after my surgery, whatever I was drinking would trickle out of my nose...especially if I was looking forward and down. It was great for beer...I got to drink it twice!!!...do you get more f'd up that way?

Just an update:

Surgery went off without a hitch - though it took an anesthesiologist and an I.V. specialist 45 minutes to find a vein for my IV. Ended up going in at my wrist just barely after 4 other pokes in other areas in my arms.

I'm in an incredible amount of pain but it won't be long before the liquid vicodin kicks in.

Mmm, vicodin...

Sleepy time!

Thanks for all the well wishes :)

Thanks John - I'm hoping to be better soon. I'm already sick of pudding and ice cream...and soup hurts my throat like a mo-fo :(
