Tonsillectomy and work?
Hi all.
I've been having problems with my tonsills the past year. Last time it was about two weeks ago and I went to the company doc who gave me penecillin. The medication stopped three days ago and now I feel the tonsills swelling up again with white spots. My symptoms are sore tonsills and a sore throat allmost constantly and usually I get a fever which I don't feel comfortable working with. It also drains me of energy and I feel tired most of the time. As this has been going on since easter more or less, I feel its time those little bugger came out of their hole and were binned forever.
That leads me to som questions though. How do they go about the procedure and will they give me any anasthetics for it? And if they do sedate me, how long will I be grounded before I can go to work again? I know it should say in JAR FCL 3 somwhere, but I couldn't find it. Any one who has gone through this and could give me an insight on how long I should plan to be off work? Also, did it cure your problems?
