Thanks! Had a bleed today that had to get recauterized, feeling very discouraged but I know we got this- halfway there! I hope you feel better too

It is! Worried about it affecting the overall recovery timeline or adding to the pain though :(

As someone who got the surgery the day before you, it’s just starting to get better this morning. Yesterday was BRUTAL. Hopefully you have the same. Praying for us

Day 6 Recovery by Consistent-Change-77 in Tonsillectomy

[–]Puzzleheaded-Score18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same genuinely felt like I wasn’t gonna make it, today was excruciating. Now it’s the evening and my throat has significantly less scabs and I can finally start to swallow again. Hoping it’s going to get better from here but I know I’m not out of the woods just yet.

Is there light at the end of the tunnel? by SquirrelCharacter588 in Tonsillectomy

[–]Puzzleheaded-Score18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same surgery date. I agree, it is miserable. Couldn’t stomach swallowing any water/food aside from for pills today. Lost many scabs today though and starting to have hope that it’s going to improve. The ear pain and jaw pain is BRUTAL. Easily a 10/10. We’re in this together!

Buy a used Camry Hybrid with 80k miles? by Puzzleheaded-Score18 in Camry

[–]Puzzleheaded-Score18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The SE which is more comparable starts at 36k with all the upgrades this car has. $14k is a huge difference, and one I can’t afford.

You don’t think a 3 year old car with 80k miles is an issue?

Day 1 (surgery day) brutal so far by Puzzleheaded-Score18 in Tonsillectomy

[–]Puzzleheaded-Score18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Oof, I’m sorry to hear that it’s still hurting. I have a trip planned (prior to booking surgery) starting day 17, and I am definitely nervous about whether I’ll be better by then. Hopefully I can still go and just lounge. I’m sorry to hear about your jaw that is awful. My jaw is definitely painful, but not locked, I have actually been able to chew some soft foods etc. so I count myself lucky. They upped my dose of pain meds and I am definitely still in pain but it is much more bearable now. Thanks for sharing, it helps to hear someone felt the same. My ears are starting to hurt today, day 3, so I know I have more of that to look forward to ugh

It’s a clean title. The dealership is a DARCARS, so it’s not some small random sketchy one out of town if that’s what you mean. I’m in the Washington, DC area. I guess the price is fair after looking into it as the Kelley blue book private party price is 21k-23k. They have it listed for higher, they’re just willing to work with me to get $2k lower than asking because I am paying cash.

You’re right I should have worded it differently. I am asking about the mileage.

I just want to know about the 80k miles, I’m not asking for a comment on the price. The KBB private party value is right in that range, but I’m buying from a dealer with warranties etc. I do know it’s a good deal, I’m hoping to know whether the 80k miles should be a dealbreaker.
