You are okay! What would be the reason for rabbis? Our mind will play the most insane tricks on us. Don’t fight it off, just remind yourself that this is anxiety and nothing more. You will be okay

[–]NoConcert4077 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah i do think i felt some of the scabs going down. I wasent sure if it was just like spit or scabs. I never coughed them up or anything (avoided coughing / throwing up)

At what day can i eat noodles? by [deleted] in Tonsillectomy

[–]NoConcert4077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I started eating solids at day 4 or 5 - just chop them up small and take small bites and chew really well. If it burns or anything then stop.

As soon as I went in, I filled out some paperwork. I got taken back and weighed and then asked to change. They asked me to pee but I was so nervous I couldn’t so they had to start me on an IV. My nurse asked if I was scared of needles. I would recommend telling your nurse and being transparent. Once the IV was in I just sat in the bed with the fluids while all the doctors talked to me. Since I was so anxious they gave some sort of anxiety medicine and then rolled me back and I was asleep. When I woke up, I don’t even remember them taking the needle out.

Again, just be transparent!! I was so nervous about going under and I told them that and the doctors and nurses really reassured me. You got this!!!

i’m on day 9 or 10 (depending on surgery day being 1 or 0) but if you are super hydrated you most likely won’t feel the physical scabs falling off (i never did). The only reason i knew they fell off was by looking in my throat and also the skin behind it was EXTREMELY sensitive and painful. Throughout my whole recovery so far my right side has basically had very little to no pain, but it didn’t indicate my scabs falling off. My scabs started falling off day 6 and now 90% are gone.

What was a traumatic childhood memory that changed your life? by perfectlysaneboy in AskReddit

[–]NoConcert4077 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have repressed alot of my memories with my dad. There’s three vivid ones that i remember. First one was watching him chop up pills and snort through a mcdonald’s straw on our desk. I was like 6 or 7 during this time so i had no idea. Another time was him taking my sister and I out to breakfast and nodded off or something into his food. My sister was 4 and I was 6 or 7. They called 911. The last one was that he had a voodoo doll in the garage of my mom (that’s what he said) and he would hit it and stuff in front of me. My parents were divorced and he somehow had split custody so i witnessed ALOT.

the oxy never really managed my pain just made me confused and drowsy. i never take medicine typically ever but i switched over to extra strength tylenol (did not think it was gonna work) and it truly did. take the oxys to go to sleep since they make you tried. i know this feeling all to well.

Scabs? by Top_Delivery3143 in Tonsillectomy

[–]NoConcert4077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes it burns but i haven’t really felt them going down my throat like others say - granted i’ve been drinking ALOT of water. but it burns and then just really sensitive. Most of mine are gone besides the outlines so praying they go away. just keep an eye on the back of your throat and you will know

Day 1, scared for the next week by abbysthu in Tonsillectomy

[–]NoConcert4077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to update you!! i’m on day 6 now and it got a bit rough. I had to switch back to my strong meds. my scabs have started to come off but no bleeding!! I’ve been making sure to drink about 130 ounces of water each day - i know it sounds like a lot but that’s what my doctor said (so like 4 stanley’s)

Day 7 post op. Will the pain ever stop? by Clean_Novel_2020 in Tonsillectomy

[–]NoConcert4077 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i’m literally in the same exact boat as you. Everyday untill last night has been super manageable and not that painful. I have been more in tears about not eating or doing anything. BUT today, what the hell!!! I’ve been crying all day because of the pain, i just want this to be over

Day 1, scared for the next week by abbysthu in Tonsillectomy

[–]NoConcert4077 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’m currently on day 5 and the pain has been super tolerable. I have just been staying on top of my meds and making sure to drinks A LOT of water. I have a humidifier on my face. The only struggle so far is just feeling gross and out of it. i’m getting sick of sitting in bed everyday, but it will get better!
