I had my tonsils out on Monday afternoon. It was not a pleasant experience, but i was coping until the surgeon said "don't worry about the yellow lumps".
I plucked up courage to look and there were great big yellow lumps down my throat.
Please can someone help me with a few questions: What the hell are these things? I can barely swallow or talk - how long will this continue for?
I also had other lumps and patches of white in my mouth and of course, he's removed them too, which hurts too. How long will it take to get the results back on these?
Lastly, it is only a short operation (although i came to about an hour after) and i went for a wee before the op. Since then, i have had trouble going as i have to force it out - was i cathetarised (sp?).
If anyone can give me some advice on this as an older patient themselves, i would be grateful and it would really help set my mind at rest.
Thank you.
