so sick i need surgery
well it all started monday night, started feeling normal cold like symptoms, went and popped some vitamins and some advil and went to sleep at a decent time.
tuesday rolled around and i felt 10x worse, so bad it scared me. didnt eat much that day at work, felt very very tired, didnt want to do anything but sleep. tuesday night, i took more vitamins had a hot bath, went to be even earlier. after 2 more days in hell, i finally got enough energy to go to the doctors, he has his look and his first response was you might need surgery to fix this, i was in shock. its pretty bad, i can barely swallow any fluids, food hahah yeah right. haven't eaten anything but soup since tuesday, cant get more then 3-4 hours of sleep at a time and i constantly have the worst headache regardless of how many pills i pop. basically my doctor told me my right tonsil has swollen and started its way over to the other side of my mouth. bottom line is they might have to cut a piece of my tonsil out to drain all the fluids thats caused more then 60 percent of my throat to close off. so he has me on some HUGE ass pills im suppose to take for 24 hours, and if i these dont do anything for me, then its surgery on a friday night weeeeeeeeow! since im such a huge fuckin pussy about ER rooms and surgery etc. be thankful for your health and wish me the best of luck. ps. since were american, we celebrate thanksgiving today and it SUCKS smelling fresh turkey/mashed potatoes and gravy and I CANT EAT ANY OF IT! :(

Oh god that sucks, I hope you get better. If it turns out you need the surgery, you'll be fine! I know it's scary, but before you know it you'll be back on track to recovering in no time. Just be happy that it isn't anything too serious, and it's not a major procedure.

Getting your toncils out at this age is really not so bad. I had it done a couple yrs ago and the process itself is no biggie... Sucks to be on liquids for a while, but you'd be OK. NO STRAWS! And I got my mum to make me quesas (just cheese) after about a couple days to a week. I had some complications after, but it doesnt happen to everyone.
Anyways, hope it doesnt come down to that, but if it does, stock the fridge with boost and freezer with popsicles. They even give you som when you wake from surgery! And I found everything funny as hell. Good luck!

aww, that sounds awful :(
surgery is good because afterwards you HAVE to chill out for a few days and eat popsicles all the time, so that can't be so bad ..and everyone knows the thanksgiving leftovers are better than the dinner anyways!

hey, where are you going to have your surgery? if it's at VGH, you might see me working there (my ward deals with ears/nose/throat surgical patients)!

im not having my tonsils removed, they cant just remove them when they are swollen, they are cutting away at the piece of skin, so they can drain the fluid out of my mouth...
either way tomorrow i should be in some sort of relief... no who is bringing over the pudding and popsicles, i gots the movies?

Surgery is so scary !!! But like they said you will feel 10 times better when its over and done with. Think about it, you get all the cards and sympthay and get to miss work and chill while recovering, I have had them out its really not that bad
