Just a quick note.
Had them out this morning.
Upon waking, I could not breathe out (exhale) properly, as my tongue was so swollen. It was very distressful, and I started to panic and cry. But they gave me something, then that went away.
My tongues is extremely swollen. Dr, said I have avery small mouth, but a large tongue, so it was considerable work to get it out of the way for them to operate.
The pain right afterwards was ok.
But now it is 8 pm, and it is very very bad.
They only gave me tylenol w/ codeine (liquid), I was surprised. My daughter has some liquid vicodin left over from her tonsillectomy...anyone know what the adult dosage is?
Anyways, talking is very difficult above a whisper, and even that is trying and tiresome.
I can't sleep for more than an hour at a time it seems...very bizarre dreams!
I'm going to try eating a popsicle and liquid jello later.
It hurts alot right now. Wow.
Anyways, I'll report more tomorrow.
