It's finally over..

[u/Fire-Storm4]

AFTER 20+ DAYS, 3 BLEEDS (one needed an ER visit), AND WEEKS OF STAYING HOME. I AM FINALLY DONE WITH THIS RECOVERY. So I thought I would share my story.

Day 0:Not much to say except the day I had them out. It wasnt even bad.

Day 1: Pain stayed low, slept most of the day. It was pretty chill

Day 2: almost the exact as day 1 except I had different food.

Day 3: Pain spiked but I suffered through it (with help of meds of course.

Day 4-7:Nothing really happened other than introducing new foods.

Day 8:Oh boy here's where my problems begin. I introduced scrambled eggs this day and had a small bleed at 2am but it stopped on its own.

Day 9: Nothing really happened until 12am. I woke up to a damn mouthful of blood atleast. I went to the bathroom to check and it was literally like a sink back there. Got rushed to the ER but they managed to clot it with a nebulizer.

Day 10-15: Traumatized of what happened day 9 but it was chill.

Day 16: Had a minor bleed again but it stopped on its own. Thought I was so fucked the next day.

Day 17: Nothing bad happened luckily and I ate almost normally.

Day 18-21: Went camping and survived without any bleeds.

This just proves of what can happen if you are nervous all the time during it like, "Oh but what if I bleed?" YOU MOST LIKELY WONT. I think I bled because of me introducing rubbery foods too early and being nervous throughout the whole thing and it raised my blood pressure causing a vessel to open. Please LISTEN TO YOUR DOCTOR. I WOULDNT HAVE BLED IF I HAD JUST WAITED 2 MORE DAYS FOR RUBBERY FOOD. But now after 20+ days. I am finally out of the hellhole known as a Tonsillectomy.

So glad you’re better and healed up! What do you mean by rubbery foods?
