Sounds like you need a very complex procedure....

It's called an Addadictome and can only be performed by the most skilled surgeons.

Seriously though, never had it. Hope you feel better soon. It's fishing time!

My goal in life is to be the kind of man my dog thinks I am.

Had mine out at 18, 22 years ago. No solid food for a couple of days. It hurts, but better than being sick.

My 7 year old had them out last year and bounced back in a couple of days.

Go see a Dr., bite the bullet and get it done...

Had mine out when I was 5, Larry, so I can't remember what tonsilitis feels like

Oh yeah, I forgot to add them to the "things I don't miss" thread

I've had ear infections that caused that......there all connected, ears and throat.

I would go see a doctor, they'll give you some antibiotics and you'll feel better in a couple of days

I remember seeing you at the plug thingie. You were dazed and starving. Adults should keep their tonsils.

Larry, any better? Your age, I meant anyone over the age of 20. The recovery time is longer and more painfull the older you get.

That's good to hear Larry. Well it's better than Toncilitus I guess.
I hope you feel better soon.

DR Dad............ ahhh ha ha ha

ps hey larry the acerola chewable 500 milligram wafers sold at CVS pharmacy is some of the best vitamin C around . 9 of -em fit into
an empty film canister for traveling....eat one per hour as you pee out
2/3 of all you consume. For emergencies wiz a bunch in grapejuice in the blender. ibuprophen (advil) to reduce swelling in throat and maybe a strawberry colada at dunkin donuts too.
