Hi Steve, glad your out of there. If you dont mind me asking how old are you? i had my tonsils out at 22ish for the exact same reason.

Turns out, when they say go home and chill they mean it.

I treat it like 2 free weeks off work. Within a week i was back in hospital with severe hemorrhaging out of my throat caused by high blood pressure, that cauterised stuff comes off reeal easy. Several morphine injections to calm me down and a trip in an ambulance followed by another WEEK in hospital taught me the following lesson.

Stay at home and chill out.

Im sure that wont happen to you though

Glad your out Steve, you now have the best excuse to sit and munch on ice cream for breakfast, dinner, tea!

haha unfortuntly not 3 hours after the op they made me eat a ham butty!! which made me nearly pass out, apparently soft food is no good for you, just hard rough food :/ hurts like hell but its working so far

Sounds very painful at the moment! I'm sure you'll be feeling a little better soon. Eating harder foods will move up the recovery time considerably though.

It generally varies from person to person but you'll be super awesome in a few weeks.

Were you dragged off to Clatterbridge? xD
