T&A

Monday I had my tonsils and adenoids taken out. Don't feel left out if you didn't know about it because it was a last minute thing. I had gone to my ENT on Tuesday of last week for my annual visit. I have always had issues with my tonsils since I was young and always had strep. About five years ago, I noticed that my tonsils would create "concretions" that would come out of these pockets in the back of my throat. It basically causes a bad taste and bad breath. So he mentioned that this would happen forever and not get any better until I had them taken out. Since December is my month off from rotations, this was the ideal time for the surgery and recuperation. To which me informed me that everyone else had already been booked for December and that I should have seen him in October if I wanted it done. So the reason it was such short notice what that someone canceled their surgery for Monday and I got it. Everything went well and my ENT said that I made a good decision to have them taken out after he saw them. Now I'm resting, watching movies, and staying hydrated. The fifth day is supposed to be the worst, so we'll see.
