Yes, before you go to surgery you get to wear these trendy guys. :)
Blue must be my colour. I should also add that you're forbidden from wearing makeup, deoderant, perfume, hairspray, jewelry and a bra! not fun.
< I'm pretty sure I was sobbing before taking this picture because of the nerves. After the Valium I was taking hospital selfless and singing 'If you like Pina Coladas' by Jimmy Buffett...yes, that happened, and as embarrassing as it could have been, I still think its much better then crying hysterically between the nurses lockers...yes that happened too.
anyways it's night two...My tonsils hurt but if I take my medication at 3 hour intervals then it is somewhat controlled..though every time I take a drink I can feel myself swallowing my uvula...not a lovely feeling. My throat is full of white and black scabs..yumm.
Oh but I googled why my tongue was hurting so badly and it turns out they didn't accidentally burn it, they actually use a metal clamp to keep it out of the way and the clamp damages your tongue, which is normal and routine. My tongue is fine, just bruised I guess.
I spent the day picking out paint colors for the new house and shopping online. Tomorrow I think I will work on my paintings, hopefully finish some of them and start a new one for my friend. Tonsillectomy's suck But I got SOOOO many flowers.
morphine is great but it has made my entire body itchy. I am not excited for tomorrow. I've been told that day 3 and 4 are the worst, I'm going to make sure to keep taking my max dose of meds on time and drinking water at all times.
still at this moment the recover is far easier then expected. In fact the horror stories have almost helped, because I was expecting the worse...I'm going to wait until day 5 to decide if my experience is as bad as some have said it will be. Keep on reading for day 3's update.
