Tonsil Hockey

Bob says:

Casa di Subdivided is in a bit of a tizzy at the moment -- Julie had her tonsils out last Friday.  It's been a miserable experience for her so far.  Even popsicles, sorbet, and delicious, delicious Jello Pudding Pops have failed to make it even close to tolerable.

More on that later.

Also, if you sneak a peek up there into the upper right corner, you'll get a preview of what I consider to be my proudest moment as a blogger.  More on the coveted Bronstein later, as well.

Hope you feel better soon, Julie!

I am currently lucid enough to post a comment, although a very drugged up comment would probably be a lot funnier.

The ENT doctor told me that the results of taking out my tonsils would be the very worst sore throat of my life. I think that is misleading. This is, by far, the worst pain of my entire life. It feels as if someone has taken a bat to my head and neck. I would rather have another c-section to this pain.

Bob asked me if I would do it again if given the chance. At this point, I would not, but in a couple of weeks my mind will change. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Funny you should mention being beaten with a baseball bat... a mere few moments ago I made a reference to being beaten with a baseball bat in relation to something here at work. Given that I work in a professional office, non-sport-related work environment, I think it says a lot about my day.

Julie, when DanBob had his tonsils taken out, it was the worst experience for us all of us for at least 2 weeks. A friend of mine who has 2 kids that have had numerous surgeries (including head and spinal) told me that the tonsil thing was, by far, the worst. Get well soon!

I feel for you. My son had his appendix out a year and a half ago. It was a nightmare. I hope Julie recovers quickly.

Who do you have to sleep with to get one of them Bronsteins?

I had my tonsils removed when I was 9 years old. Everyone told me how great it would be because I would be showered with ice cream, popsicles and delicious cool beverages in the hospital. I think I was given one glass of Kool-Aid during my 3-day hospital stay. For the next several weeks, I would wake up to a blood stained pillow case and hack up blood clots, and then I had to return while they restrained me to the bed to "fix" what they screwed up. It was the worst experience of my life. I hate Children's Hospital to this day. My heart goes out to you, Julie. Get well soon.

Congratulations on the Bronstein. I was having "3-pete" t-shirts printed up, but you spoiled all of that. You are a formidable opponent. The award is well-deserved. Enjoy it boys, because T&A is making a run for it in 2008.
