Yesterday; July 26, 2006; I had my tonsiles taken out. I am 37 years old and have been having problems with frequent tonsilitus over the years and it was getting worse each year, so I decided to finally have them taken out. Dispite everyone's fear and discouragement I felt that the five to eight days of pain was nothing compared to the three to five days of pain over and over, six, seven, even eight times a year.
So this is my story of having my tonsiles taken out and the true accounting of what I experience.

hi i notice you have not added any more entries about your tonsillectomy. I am on day 3 and pain in thriat, tongue and ears is terrible. I hear things get worse not better. What day did you start to feel better and on what day did the scabs start to fall off?
thanks
Thanks for the blog. I just had mine out a few weeks ago and found your info very helpful. It helped to be able to read what others went through and know that what I experienced must be normal. Thanks for the blog!
Thanks for this, I just had mine out a couple of days ago at the age of 44. It's been both better and worse than I thought it would be - pain is not as bad as I feared but the sticky mouth and swollen uvula - yuck! Thanks for documenting your experiences

The last thing you said about the pain after the surgery is better than the several times a year you had tonsillitis really struck a cord with me. I'm terrified of the surgery. It'll be in a few weeks & I'm flu-like, yet again with tonsillitis. Not easy when you have two little ones at home. I'm scared for the bleeding, scared for my husband having to do everything.. etc. This blog helps. Thanks so much.
