Well That Shut Me Up!

The first 36 hours after the tonsillectomy, I was still annoyingly upbeat.

I can still recall myself saying "I've had sore throats much worse than this".

Then it hit! I'm not sure if it's part of the healing process or if the general anaesthetic had still been giving me some relief, but holy shit - the pain kicked in.

I'd been getting by on a mix of Panadol and Panadol Forte.  I didn't need the Endone.

Forget that.  Saturday morning I loaded up on the Endone.  I slept most of the day, but was suffering big time at the end of my medication cycle.

Anyone who's talked to me since this diagnosis is probably aware that I needed to be brought down a notch or two.  Well I'm still positive - with good reason, but yes this recovery period has managed to shut me up for a while!
