He may not be able to answer yet because he’s still healing. My tonsillectomy was also hell. I think I was 28. It was gross, painful, and tiring. Still, I would do it again considering how often I had strep and how often I was at a medical office instead of work, school, or having fun. I get an occasional sore throat, but nowhere near the pain, fever, and contagion that strep brought. I always made my boyfriend sick when I had it!

My grandfather taught me grow food in the garden but I’m not running off to be a farmer now.

There are a lot of things we can’t control. This is not on you it’s her family.

Maybe one day your training will help someone else survive a life or death situation. We can only hope the time this girl spends in the woods shows her some perspective and works out for the better.

Maybe your next lesson is now and a crash course in tracking and search and rescue is in order.

Looking into getting tonsils and adenoids out as an adult. This is the first thing about the procedure that made me second guess it. Not jerking it for two weeks might not be possible.

Same. I handle pain really well, but that was another level.

Oh my god, you’re not our patient, but we had a recent tonsil tonsillectomy patient (M21) turn into a blood geyser around the 4-5 day post op too. Apparently he also had to get cauterized twice, but he had to go under and get the stitches. We saw him today and everything looks fine now, but when he comes in for his next post op appointment IM GOING TO WONDER IF THIS IS WHY HE BLED SO BADLY
