Good lord man. That sounds almost mediaeval!!
The worst apparently from this one is making them wear toast before they go home to make sure that they can swallow ok. I had my tonsils out when I was young and I am pretty sure I remember that bit was the worst of all!
It's worse!
I also have various tubes going into my mouth and a steel frame that hold my back of the head and pushes down on my shoulders to stretch my neck as I lay face down. Due to the shock my whole body bounced on the operating table!!
Fairly graphic as I imagine it! :)
That does sound fairly graphic. It must also be slightly surreal to imagine it happening to you and not having any awareness of it. Apart from the pain afterwards obvs. I take it you are still doing well? It seems like quite the monumentous op!
Zero pain and no medication now.
I am doing great. Doctors, family all surprised
That's awesome. You big tough bastard you!! 😀😀
