Tonsil Surgery
By the time you’re reading this, I’m probably going under the knife. Or maybe I’m lying all doped up in recovery.
Regardless, I’m having my tonsils (and possibly adenoids, depending on how bad they look) removed today. I have a few posts scheduled to go up, but probably won’t be posting every day as I usually do until I start feeling a little better.
If you’d like to send me amusing jokes, pictures to cheer me up, etc, please send them to EssinEm at gmail dot com. Also, you can follow me on twitter (www.twitter.com/EssinEm) to see how my recovery is going.
If you want to send me something, the wishlists are on the side bar. Or ice cream/sorbet/sherbet would also be extremely welcome. Perhaps pudding as well. I’m only partially kidding. Do they have ice cream delivery service?
Regardless, I’m not falling off the face of the planet. Just going under for a good cause, and hopefully when I’ve healed, the sleep apnea they’ve been causing will be gone, I’ll be able to get a good night’s sleep, and breath play will be back on the list again.
Auf Wiedersehen (for a few days possibly…on the otherhand, maybe I’ll be just find and blogging in no time!),

Good luck and best wishes for speedy recovery.
I had my tonsils out at 19. It was quite a difficult recovery. Here’s what helped my throat feel the best: Mashed potatoes (sweet or otherwise), fruit smoothies, pudding, and definitely sorbet. I’d stay away from anything that may cause you to produce more mucus (ice cream tends to)because it will make you want to cough and that will just hurt.
You’re going to feel YEARS better once this is all done. I’ve not had any throat problems since.
*hugs*
Gosh, I had mine out as a very small child. I was the last one left in recovery when my folks showed up….and I thought I’d been abandoned LOL. Ice cream is your friend.
