What I learned on day one.

 So yesterday I had my tonsils removed...I've been dreading this procedure since August but I finally just had to get it over with.

Here are some things I learned on day 1:

 #1. Looking like hell is inevitable.  ^
#2.  Food is not an option.
#3.  Swallowing is the worst, but water is a must. 
#4.  The liquid pain medication that the Dr. Prescribed burns when trying to take it.
#5.  It will also make me itch all over so Benedryl has to accompany the pain medication into my system.  
#6.  Sleeping during the day was off and on, sleeping at night was more difficult, but I at least got a few hours.
#7.  Chocolate milk is amazingly soothing but I can only have one glass a day. 
#8.  Warm tea feels alright.
#9.  Sour popsicles suck. 
#10.  A humidifier in my room helps keep my throat moist..(gross)
#11.  Jaw is stiff, opening my mouth, and moving my tongue is hard to do.
#12.  My mom was looking up tips on what works best healing wise, and what soothes pain fastest, and one comment was from a lady saying she would rather go back and give birth to her two kids again than go through the pain of having her tonsils removed for a second time....
            So I think that means I might know what giving birth in my throat feels like...?  Congrats to me. 

Overall though, I think that I did ok on the first day considering the fact that my Dr. told me multiple times how miserable I was going to be. 

Will blog about day two tomorrow...So far some fun things have happened today.
