Day 1!
I decided I wanted to blog & share my experience with my tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy surgery.
It's the end of day 1 today and for me it has been pretty smooth sailing. Of course my throat is sore but nothing I can't manage. My ears get a little sore but my pain meds knock that right out.
My mother has been my rock. She has taken care of my kids and waited on me hand on foot. Every meal, drink refill, medicine etc. She wants me to do nothing but rest & get better. Having her around is making a world of difference. I am so grateful for her love & kindness.
I am taking a 7.5 percet every 3 hours & 400 mil of ibphrophen. I am drinking ice cold water like it's air and honestly it's a Godsend!! If I stay on this schedule it keeps my pain level & not spiking up & down.
My Dr was extremely generous & gave me 80 pain pills so that should be more than enough to get through this and heal completely. I am still scared of what lies ahead.
I am prepared that it will probably get worse before it gets better.
What I ate today: Chicken noodle soup, jello, ice water, and sweet potatoes.
Here are some pictures I took today:
