Hey everyone,
Today I went to the hospital because I had an appointment to see a doctor so he can look at my tonsils and write me out some forms so I can get my tonsils removed. I have a long long history of throat infections, so now apparently is the time to have them out, although I disagree because I'm currently in year 11 and I really cannot afford anymore time off than I already have.
So the doctor looked at my tonsils with a light and a metal pole that tasted disgusting. Then he said, "Wow, they are huge!". Of course, being dirty minded, I completly took that the wrong way and started laughing, with his stick in my mouth the whole time. Wait, that sounds bad too...
So hes putting me on the waiting list, hopefully for another year or so. I don't care really if they come out or stay in.
Have you had your tonsils out? Discuss.

You'll get your op within nine months. Guaranteed.
Unless, you choose not to, of course.

Yes, about 25 years ago. Can't remember much about it TBH.
My youngest had his out when he was five, was home the next day eating Salt and Vinegar Crisps...
Do you know if they are going to admit you as a day case (i.e. no overnight stay in hospital)?
I used to suffer from tonsilitis constantly. My bro did too (our dad did when he was younger and 'grew out of it'). He had his out years ago and they wanted to do mine too. I wouldnt let them (was ickle and scared) and then it just faded and i've not had it since... Been years now...
*shows them off*
they're one of the only parts of me that actually work. i think i've had tonsilitis about 4 times in my life. and three of those times were last winter.
I think im going to stick with mine though, as my mate, Stevie had hers out and they grew back with avengance! They caused her more trouble than ever!
Not lots of help but thats my experience.
