    Default tonsils out!

    Has anyone had their tonsils out (as an adult)? I'm getting it done on Wednesday and I am 21. I'd really like to hear stories, how long it took to recover, etc. I'm supposed to leave for a vacation on the 26th and am really hoping to be recovered by then! I'm also pretty scared about all of it. So yeah...reassure me or scare me more, I just want some idea of what to expect!

    I almost died.

    They messed up the painkillers they gave me and I was vomitting non-stop for 12 hours. Couldn't keep food down for 4 days. The doctor was literally aiming for a goal of several tablespoons of water every 6 hours. Why in the world they didn't hook me up to an IV, I don't know. I lost 25 lbs over the two months it took me to recover. When the scabs came off prematurely and I was swallowing so much blood I started the vomitting thing again, they wouldn't admit me into the emergency room. I had to call and get clearance first. The doctor was nice enough to do the exam in the waiting room.
    Damn military health insurance.

    It sucks. I had them done on Christmas of 03, and Im 21 now too. Very uncomfy, when the scabs come off you are constantly coughing up disgusting globs of blood.
