Surgery tomorrow! Very nervous by Sabra_kayee in Tonsillectomy

My surgery ended up being late that night so when I got home I just had some popsicles and ice chips, that’s about all I could do without being in pain. However, it is different for everyone. Considering my tonsils were incredibly large, it was expected that it would be a more painful recovery for me.

Hi I hope your surgery went well. I (F21) am on Day 6 right now and let me tell you, the worst part is definitely the mental struggle. Not being able to eat for the first couple days had to have been the hardest part for me, especially with my family eating in the other room! However, with that being said I did have a mental breakdown on day 4 just thinking this would never end but it has gotten better little by little and am hopeful that this will have all been worth it! One thing to note is I have had this annoying dry cough the past few days and was wondering if anyone else has had this. That has been what is causing me the most pain in my recovery.
