[Waterhammer]

no one else finds this impressive? lol

Of course we do. It just got overshadowed by the fact he actually posted about it, we read it, and now posted comments.

I never knew what those things were, btw.

Alex, you putz, ever since I first read this I've had this Gawd-awful taste in the back of my throat. No, I don't have tonsil crud - it's just psychosomatic.

But even drinking battery acid would probably not wash it away. Thanks.:twak::twak::twak:

:laugh3::laugh3:

hahhahha because of this thread i just checked and i have tonsollitis also. ive had a sore throat for a bunch of days and figured id give it a look in the mirror and sure enough the sympton signs are there. hopefully itll be bacterial based and not viral :twak:

They used to remove tonsils at the slightest indication that there was infection or whatever. This was before the medical community figured out that tonsils were a active participant in the immune system. Nowadays they only remove them as a last resort.

At least, that is what I've been told about tonsils and why doctors are less likely to remove them now.

Yes it wasnt done as a routine procedure, everyone in my family seems to be predisposed for tonsillitis. Me and my older brother had ours removed 10yrs ago. My younger brother had his taken out last summer.His were HUGE they were making it difficult for him to swallow when ever he had a sore throat, so they had to come out.
Tonsillectomy does really help fight chronic problems like that.

I have had tonsillitis once and it sucked! I still have my tonsils though. the worst part was the fever for me!!! 104* a few times for four days or so

I had chronic problems with this stuff...until one Dr. suggested eliminating milk and eggs from my diet.

"Cow milk is good....for cows" He said.

I went vegan about 16 years ago.

I've been sick only once since then.

oddly enough...
The thought of not eating meat grosses me out more than the tonsil thing...

you can get one pound lumps of ground buffalo at all the major supermarkets around here, and its around $6 a pound.

last time i cooked it, this gem came out:

"no shit the buffalo almost went extinct, they're delicious!"

And now to resurrect an old thread:

Im sitting at the house today after my tonsillectomy. I had to wait til I finished up college and I was working to get the procedure done.

The surgery started sometime around 8am and its now 4:15 pm and Im doing fine. I thought I had a seizure when I woke up from surgery, but I was just shivering, which evidently they have meds for.

So far I've had about 50 oz of water and powerade and Im going good as long as I dont laugh, cough or have to swallow more of the above mentioned powerade/water.

Maybe I can post a pictures up......MUCH worse looking than I thought it would be. It looks like they took a red hot icecream scoop and took my tonsils and adenoids out. Gaping hole in my throat (Insert fellatio joke here). This is how I described it on facebook:

I'm pretty sure once I was under, they started the surgery with a solid judo-chop to the throat, and then went on their merry way. They probably locked down on the tonisils with vise grips and then yanked really really hard, and followed that up with a torch to cauterize it. Then when they were done with that, they used that new Black-and-Decker Auto Hammer on my uvula to make it the size of my thumb.
All in all, not too bad.

and then:

Im sorry guys, I was WAY off; it was a Craftsman Auto Hammer I was thinking of.

I'll be fine as soon as the swelling goes down and I stop trying to swallow my uvula

I had mine out when I was 7. Still one of my most vivid memories of childhood.
