I feel great. I’m sleeping better, I’ve stopped snoring, and I can breathe through my nose all of the time!
My throat feels like it’s been stabbed, though.
I had my check-up two days ago and saw pictures of my tonsils once they had been removed – they were 1 inch wide and 3 inches long. They were covered in scars and looked like Freddy Krueger’s balls. And, apparently, they were full of stones.
In not gross news, my favorite kind of frozen yogurt is tart plain, followed by caffe latte, and tart mango. No toppings.
My mom went home on Tuesday (the same day as my check up), but didn’t get going right away because she missed her flight (my fault) and so we ended up getting manicures and pedicures at the Palm Springs Mall in the same shop that Shannen Doherty had her nails done during the height of her 90210 fame (autographed Brenda Walsh poster). When Mom called me to tell me she had missed her flight I felt so terrible, I started crying and sobbing, which was dumb because it made my throat hurt.
She caught a later flight and everything was fine, but I got upset. I blame the drugs.
We had a great visit and, honestly, I don’t think I would be recovering as well as I am if my mom hadn’t been here. I love her and I miss her. I wish I could do for her what she does for me.
But she’s your mom, so you don’t have to.
You’re right, Annika. Besides, Katherine enriches my life in ways that I can’t express in any way. Love you, sweetheart!
Oh, and I need to say that I’m the moron that translated club soda into ginger ale. Another stellar moment for me, I must say! Is there wax in my ears? Can you have wax in your brain?
I didn’t even know one could get tonsil stones. I couldn’t stop looking at them and was both horrified and fascinated with the pictures on Wikipedia.
Stones in your tonsils? That is kinda creepy. Good thing they’re gone, then.
I’m so glad you’re feeling better! There’s nothing better for your health than sleeping well.
hee-hee! Freddy’s bawls!!! Har!
Shannen Doherty is a CHUD. I did not realize there was such an extensive underground sewer system there. Well, please be careful, lest you become prey. Stoney tonsils would be the very least of your problems.
That’s happy news.
