we've parted ways...

Me and my tonsils... we parted ways. We are now going on our 3 month anniversary and I've never been so happy! As all of my friends around me are getting strep tonsils I am cheering that mine no longer live attached to the back of my throat. They were despicable, awful, huge and disgusting beasts that choked me while I ate and made me gag something fierce. Today was the first time I choked since I got them out.

The best things about getting my tonsils removed were:

mashed potatoes, I survived on them.

hard core medicine... I was begging for it every 4 hours.

grandma Chrissy brought me stuff to doodle on. Thank heaven because I was bored to death!

I'd like to thank Blockbuster video for the 13 movies that they rented to me. I watched most of them with my eyes closed. Good times.

Mom and Dad slept on the mattress next to me so that they could help me out.

and missing school for a whole week.

So when everyone was trying to tell me that it was going to be great that I didn't have tonsils they told me I'd get to miss school, eat all the ice cream a girl could have and watch my most favorite movies all day long. Sounded great! But they forgot to include a few little details...

The 5 worst things that people don't tell you about getting your tonsils out are:

(#5) As hard as I tried to wake up after surgery I just couldn't. I apologized to my parents about 50 times for having them come. Weird!

(#4) school... its great to stay home but its awful making up the work.

(#3) No playing. It was like being grounded to the couch with a box of Kleenex a stinky friend...(tonsils out= stinky breath)

(#2) throwing up for an entire day with a raw throat was great fun... especially since I had an empty stomach.

(#1) throat scabs... enough said!

*please pray for me... I'm still trying to forget that awful flavor.
