So I haven't updated in a long time...I got my tonsils and adenoids out and it was death! Probably the worst experience of my life! It hurt like mad for 8 days, which isn't that long but it seemed like eternity. Sunday was the worst day by far! I woke up at one or two am and my throat hurt so incredibly bad! I called my mom (I had to take medicine every four hours, during the night also. so i had my mom take her phone to bed with her and when it was time I would call her! worked pretty good!) and she came down to give me my medicine. I had to eat something before taking the medicine but it hurt so bad I didn't want to take my medicine. I thought I was going to die. I was crying and my mom was just sitting there hugging me! I finally ate something and took my med. but it still hurt and I wouldn't stop crying. I told my mom to go get dad to give me a blessing so that I would be able to sleep and so the pain would calm down a bit. He couldn't give me a blessing for the sick since there weren't two people but he gave me a father's blessing. My mom stayed with me for a while until i calmed down and then she went back to bed and I was able to go to sleep. In the morning I we had someone from the ward come over and help give me a blessing. I'm so grateful that my dad hold's the priesthood and i was able to sleep and not feel so much pain!
Getting my tonsils out was probably the worst experience of my life and the worst pain i have ever felt. I will never be able to describe the pain! I've decided that since it is easier on kids I'm going to get all my kids tonsils out just in case there is a problem later on because I don't want them to endure the pain I had! Anyway...That is the tonsil story! It was awful basically! I'm doing a lot better now. I still can't eat solid food unless it is very soft or easy to mush up...like ramen noodles and pancakes! But I cannot wait to eat real food it has been almost 10 days since I have eaten something real!
Oh and my advice to you is if there is any sign of your kids having bad tonsils..sore throats all the time, strep, whatever just get them out now so they won't remember the pain and it will be easier on them!!! :D
