1 Week Later

It’s been a week now since my tonsillectomy … a painful week. The days were ok as being awake you could always remember to drink plenty of water and take your medication on time. It’s the nights that were killers. I have not had a proper nights rest since the operation. Every 3 hrs or so I would be awaken with a pain in my throat, it’s either dry or the medication had worn off and the pain was really INTENSE. There were days where swallowing my own saliva was so painful that it brought a tear to my eye every time I swallowed my saliva. Luckily I found that the gargle is so far the best thing to numb the pain. Well my other antibiotics are finished and a couple of more days before I go back for my check up. Just hope the gargle holds out.
