Smooth Sailing

Definitely on the mend. Some key points to note:

-The caverns still get frothy, but they're pretty much all pink now with a little yellowish/white residue from the scabs.

-Yawning doesn't hurt nearly as bad, more or less it's just the slightest twinge unless it's a really heavy yawn.

-Breathing normal.

-Uvula has been 'displaced', it's situated a little more to the left than it had been before.

-I am assuming it's just skin/mouth tissue growing in place of where the tonsils use to be. I am hoping it's not the tonsils growing back. I would be very displeased.

-I didn't wake with a dry mouth or throat this morning. The last several mornings were miserable to wake up from.

-Learning to swallow is both annoying and funny. There's nothing more ridiculous than going out on a dinner date and both my husband and I are choking to death on our food. He's been sick, so if he coughs at the wrong time while eating he'll tickle his throat and choke on food. Me, it's just the 6-7 attempts to swallow food before choking on it myself. We at least look at these experiences positively.

-No ear aches, but am having to pop my ears in the car more often.

-No throat pain or discomfort from the tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy. No itchiness from stones. It's wonderful.

-Sneezing is fun!

-So far, 3 weeks in, I am saying the procedure was well worth the discomfort. Again, I'll keep everyone updated from time to time.
