[giraffesCantZumba]

its too hot to sleep. Plus ladies around me are snoring. Starving because didnt eat much dinner due to pain. Choc helps pain

Iv tried to eat chocolate but it gets stuck. Hope u feel better soon giraffe, will continue to keep u company via text x

Well sounds like you might as well've had the band if they're only offering you warm egg sandwiches - boak!

Sending cooling vibes your way and antisnore vibes to the other patients...

Hope you're feeling beter.

I'm Veggie too and got offered cheese and onion sandwiches, egg sandwiches, jacket potatoes or 'the other dish and pick the meat out' all week when I had DS. I lived off biscuits and cake in the end!

And I had an annoying Russian next to me who was really rude! She demanded that they go to the supermarket to buy aptamil milk as she had heard it was the best and that was the only formula she wanted her baby to have. She told the staff to go on their break!! She complained about everything and kept refusing to leave when they said she was healthy enough to go!

Hospitals have a weird time vortex thing going on, I've never felt so detached from reality - hope you're coping! Wish I'd had MN when I was in!

yes verity still getting dizzy on and off.

sorry for fast reply earlier dad came for visit time. How are you feeling in general? Did you gave tonsil out too? Get really sore ears then waves of nausea and sea sick feeling. Nurses keen to blame med but been on all before no prob. Tea and toast time now yum.

I had an op on Wednesday (large cyst removed from neck). I am still feeling a bit wobbly, when I walk feel like I am going to keel over, then it passes. The sickness has passed and my appetite is back with a vengeance today. I have been very tired, spent most of yesterday asleep and had a nap today.

I am told it's the affect of the general aesthetic. Some cheery sole said it can take 6 weeks for it to fully wear off.

I hope you all (op, spoon and Verity) feel better soon and can come home.

thanks.

verity on days 4/5 i was very very dizzy and off balance, it was because of the diclopram i was taking, also if your ears are blocked this effects your balance.

I found that when i had a shower the water cleared my ears and that really helped!

Im on day 9 now and not doing to bad!

this time a week ago was panicing over my op! Cant believe i still in hosp. Looking forward to getting back to normality.

have you looked at tonsils? Mine looking so much better!

Well if you only have tonight left, that's potentially what, 12-14 more hours?

It'll be done before you know it :)

verity is that true about GAs? I have to have surgery soon, have never had a GA before, and am a bit worried about the after-effects....

giraffes, I did not know you had been poorly.
And had surgery.
And are still in hospital.

I hope you are restored to rude health and home very very soon .

Nope not looked. I dont think i dare!

Yadnbu

Oh I'm so sorry that you're still in hospital. :(

I was on your other thread because dd was having her tonsils out on Wednesday last week and was scared of the surgery/recovery.

She was eating with 2 hours. Turned nose up at ice cram and had tuna sandwich and toast. Has been ridiculously full of beans. So much so that had to read her dire warning from t'internet about post operative complications to get her to get out of the bloody paddling pool/slide combi and to stop shrieking at her brothers. Didn't work. Another week and a bit off school.

Funnily though - she will not touch chocolate as that was the one food we were told to avoid - too claggy and sticky according to nurses.

I keep expecting her to have a dip ( and have read that days 5 - 7 can be tricky). But so far, so good.

Hope you get the he'll out of hospital tomorrow.

obviously i mean throat! Tonsils rotting in bin or do they get burnt?!

thanks pdw! X

They get burnt apparently. Dd wanted to take her's home to show ds1 but they wouldn't let her. Killjoys.

oh i thought you were home giraffe - sorry to hear you 're still in.hope you get out soon x

spoon i have photo of mine almost every day. Yes i know thats gross! They do look better though. Do you have a horrid taste in mouth? Oh pooka thats fab!

pooka - when I was at school, somebody came back in with their tonsils to show us after they'd had them out... it was actually some food colouring and appropriate sized balls of cotton wool (? or something similar that stayed as a little ball in the blood coloured water) in a little hospital jar with a hospital sticker on it but it had most people fooled for a day or two...

could provide your daughter with a fun 'eeeuuwww' thing to take in for show and tell. Most people kids have no idea what tonsils are supposed to look like and obviously you are not allowed to take the lid off as it has blood in it so you can't smell that it is not real. she even mentioned about preservatives to explain why it hadn't gone rotten...

Oh I wish I'd thought of taking photos! Great idea.

Can't really see much in dds throat. Which makes a change from the enormous tonsils that were there before. Her breath is really stinky and she's just had some more medicine a moment ago because she has a little ear ache (I'm in with her in her bedroom). Am glad it was done though. Consultant said bloody good thing to have done because her throat obstructed and she stopped breathing during the op - example of the apnoea she's been having. Didn't do my nerves much good.

So sorry that you grown ups having the op have had such a rough time of it. Hope you all make speedy recoveries though and no more tonsillitis fingers crossed.
