DS has oversized tonsils which cause snoring which makes him tired all the time. The ENT decided that surgery is the best idea now but said he doesn't need tonsillectomy as he doesn't have any issues with tonsillitis, so just reducing the size is enough to help with his symptoms, and said this surgery is less painful and has less risk of complications but I'm wondering how much less painful it is. DD had her tonsils out a few years ago and she was in so much pain, needed round the clock painkillers and soft cold foods for over a week so if its likely to be any way similar to that I'll need to ask for more time off work (and a lot more ice cream!). Has anyone's child had this surgery? Or anyone had it themselves? I only know people who've had the full surgery.
He was on the waiting list expected to get a surgery date in the summer but the hospital called today and offered us a surgery slot tomorrow as there had been a cancellation so I'm panicking a bit now with no time to plan (plus general worries about surgery and GA when its all so sudden)
