I'm surprised you still have your tonsils.
As kids, my brother had lots of ear and throat problems. When my parents agreed to have his tonsils removed, Dr Barbarich said 'Let's take them all out', and my dad thought three for the price of one was great. So 3 yr old brother, 4 yr old sister and 6 yr old me were in the hospital having tonsils out on the same day.

:lol: I was actually supposed to have my tonsils out when I was about 6 years old. I don't know if it was scheduled or about to be. I had a lot of tonsillitis when I was little, too. Then, my dad got orders (Navy) overseas to Italy, so the guidance was to just wait and get it done later. When we got overseas and settled there - the Docs (still Navy) didn't see any reason to take them out, as I wasn't having bouts of tonsillitis by then. :jameo: I guess it stayed mostly dormant until I was 18 and then kept recurring. So the Navy Docs at Pax River, said take out the tonsils!! (Which I had done at Bethesda)

It's supposed to be easier when you're a kid. I don't know about that - but I DO know one thing -that thing about having all the ice cream you want is a crock. You don't want any ice cream or anything else because it hurts to even think about swallowing. :lol:

I've heard that that is stunningly painful recovery and not a very high success rate. :jameo:

Yes, Hubby was in a lot of pain, but he was stupid and didn't want to take the drugs. He even went to the county fair and ate a corn dog! Men! :lol:

That is the upside to this ordeal. :lol: Atkins shakes, btw, make a wonderful liquid meal.

I love the Strawberry Banana shakes. They often take the place of meals for me when I'm on the go. Of course, they have to be cold!

This thread will get picked up in the search engines so I'm going to put this here for those who are googling about tonsillitis:

1 part Milk of Magnesia
1 part Benadryl

Mix together and rinse your mouth with it, gargle if you can. It stings at first but then your mouth and throat go numb.

Bliss.

We used to use Chloroseptic (sp?) spray for sore throats when we were young. Sort of same effect... Numbed the throat and everything else it touched! BIG :huggy: Vrai!! Hope you're on the mend soon!

Last night when I was whining Monello suggested this might be a good time to bust out the juicer again for my liquid meals.

Well, no. :jet:

But I do have a Ninja blender that makes the most lovely smoothies. Tonight it was Granny Smith apples, spinach, honey, almond milk, and ice.

Are you positive that you don't have SalMonello?
