I made it. Just barely. Let me tell you, recovering from a tonsillectomy is not the most fun thing you could spend your summer doing. One word describes it...misery. Worse than recovering from having a baby, by far. Almost worse than pushing for 3 hours while your epidural is wearing off too. It was 9 days of no talking, no eating, being too afraid to swallow your own spit, sure you're going to cough and then who knows what would happen. And they tell you the more you eat and swallow the better you'll feel. HA! I bet most of those ENT's still have their tonsils, or got them out when they were kids so it wasn't half bad. However, Saturday morning, I woke up-no pain, just a little weird feeling, but no pain. It's getting better every day now. Still feeling swollen, and I still talk funny. My sister-in-law thought I was playing a joke on her when we were talking on the phone!
The one good that has come out of it- losing 9 pounds in 9 days. Talk about an easy way to get rid of the rest of the pregnancy weight. But take my word for it, I would have rather been up walking every morning instead of sitting in my house in agony.
So, I'm mostly back to normal now. Sorry I don't have any new pictures to show of Lily, I missed the 4th of July, her 4 month birthday, first rice cereal....what a good Mommy am I!
