3. My Tonsillectomy/Adenoidectomy Surgery! Day 3!

Day 3!

Day 3 started out pretty rough.....I finally got some decent sleep & because I did, I was unable to keep my throat moist & stay up on my meds.

After sleeping for about 6 hours I woke up to a very sore throat. It was tender, swollen & no fun at all. My ears were ringing & hurt a lot too. I couldn't swallow & could barely speak.

I know it's not good to take medicine on an empty stomach but I couldn't wait to eat. After my meds kicked in I ate and the rest of the day went really smooth.

It always hurts to swallow like having a really bad sore throat but it's manageable. Truly. 

Today I ate: more fluff, sweet potatoes, ice water & salad. I ate mash potatoes later at night.
