So it seems my mom was right over 30 years ago. After numerous sore throats and bouts with strep, my mom begged my pediatrician to please ok the tonsillectomy. But he wouldn't. It was the later 70's and our doctor at the time said that the tonsils were too important and they didn't believe in taking them out. No matter how adamant my mom was, the doctor was more so. Now it is 2008....
Yeah the ENT doc said they needed to come out. He was around in the 70's, albeit a much younger doctor, and he said that they did indeed recommend not taking them out unless absolutely necessary. Well, he said my case should have been a necessary one, but both of my pediatrician have now passed, so here we are......
Surgery, December 10. Tonsillectomy, deviated septum repaired (who knew I couldn't breathe out of the one side of my nose, I thought that's how we were supposed to breathe), and a "growth" in my nasal cavity that needs to be removed. Fun stuff, and it looks that it will be 2-3 weeks before I can resume my full eating habits. I should drop some weight too, and by the looks of my gut now, I need to. Since I switched jobs I've added almost 15#. YIKES!!!!
I'm just glad I am finally here. I've waited 2 months for this, and I'm tired of feeling crappy. So hopefully I'll have an update soon afterward this week, and hopefully nothing out of the ordinary.
