Say, Aaaaah! 4 – internet resources, tricks, and tips on surviving an adult tonsillectomy #T2Q #random
Good-morning, kittens & dawgs! This morning DD#2 is having a tonsillectomy. DH and I still have our tonsils, so I have no idea what she’s up against. Naturally, you would expect nothing less of me so you know I asked Google for a little help. I got hundreds of hits, but I narrowed it down to four internet resources, tricks, and tips on surviving an adult tonsillectomy from different bloggers first-hand experiences with this matter.
- Cute Culture Chick writes How I Survived My Adult Tonsillectomy
- Curious Soup offers 10 Tips For Surviving Adult Tonsillectomy
- Tonsillectomy Tips and Advice
- Forever Infertile points out the Dos & Don’ts of Recovering an Adult Tonsillectomy
I’m totally ignorant on this subject, but found what the info these bloggers shared important and useful, if faced with the removal of my tonsils. I plan to text these links to her with the hope it makes life a bit easier for her in the coming days. Maybe this info will benefit you or someone you know to get through this common childhood procedure, as an adult. This is supposedly a difficult undertaking as a grown up. So, please say a little prayer for her! 😉
Do you have your tonsils? If not, did you have them removed as a child or an adult? What type of experience did you have?
This has been a wild week, if all goes well, I hope to share another edition of Flashback Friday tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by!

I had mine removed at seven years old. They gave me lots of soft vanilla ice cream. It was a kid’s dream come true. I think I spent four days in the hospital, but don’t remember much else. I hope she does well (smile).
My BOTB is still going on, if you have time (right). No worries. (smile)

Bill & I both have our tonsils still. Mine were always too infected or they wanted to see if I would outgrow it. When I was 14 I came down with tonsillitis yet again. It ended up as mononucleosis! I was in the hospital for three weeks and missed a whole quarter of school. I did have a home teacher, though, sent out by the school district.
