I'm 20 and I have had a 'bad' thyroid since I was about 13. We figured that I would end up with Hypothyroid because my mother has it, as did her mother and her grandmother. Out of five children, I was the one that got it. And unfortunatly, I think my Little sister will too. But a few months ago, after YEARS of bouncing between dosage on thyroid medication, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease and AutoImmune Disorder. I'm still not 100% sure on what that means. My doctor (whom I actually liked...

Days 14 thru 16. and I think that this will be the last entry about my tonsillectomy unless something happens (and i hope nothing does lol).
Eating is almost completely back to normal, except with pizza sauces and ketchup and the like, as it does sting a little too much for comfort. I probably will never touch sherert, pop sickles or slushies ever again for as long as i live. I am back up to normal as best I can I think, so there's not much to write. There is, however, one small detail that...

Days 11-13. Sorry I havent posted lately, (not that anyone's reading anyway lol) but past few days have been pretty good. Its still pretty tender to eat certain foods, but at least im eating.

I found that really moist Banana Bread worked really good and was very tasty, definatly a change! lol The scabs from my re-cauterizing are still black-ish, havent turned cream still. But its alright, give it time i think. when i went in for the re-cauterizing, the surgeon took all of the loose and old scabbing...

DAY 8. and i feel fantastic! honestly lol, no sarcasm intended lol. after that recent re-op where they fixed the bleeding in my throat, ive felt better these past two days than i have ALL WEEK. i can talk, i can swallow comfortably, its been great! I did have one issue, and it was the medication they prescribed for me (Hydrocodone-apap) that i noticed that every time i take it, either sides of my tongue go numb. i called the doctors and asked, but they said as long as its helping the pain and im...
