update: doc took them out on Friday. He says bed for 5 days - no stressful movements which could cause throat to bleed. Biggest culprit for older folk is the blood supply to the little monsters is BIG! If they bleed a lot - it means going back under the knife!
So far - so good. Useful info:
Strict pain treatment regime. This dictates when you can eat and what you can eat. Plenty of chewing gum - keeps the throat muscles active and lubricates the throat.
Millions of gallons of H2O. This keeps everything moist reducing the chances of scabs causing bleeding.
GOD # I'm bored though!
[I'm 55 and they came out because of constant headaches/throat aches/ear aches/tonsiloliths.]
Thanks for your kind words too.
