Mar had been having issues with tonsil stones for 6 to 9 months. I had never even heard of them until she started getting them. We went to see the doctor, who agreed that they were definitely not only a nuisance, but problematic, so we scheduled a tonsillectomy.
Thursday, May 5th.
Mar has some {not-so} mild anxiety, so this was a big deal for her.
The procedure was FAST. I had just settled into a podcast in the waiting room, and the doctor was there to fill me in on how things went. He confirmed that she had some loaded tonsils, and it was good they were now gone. I went back to sit with her while she came out of the anesthesia and waited to be discharged. That took way longer than the surgery.
Afterwards we ran to a couple of pharmacies to grab the recommended meds, then took her home and settled in for the long recovery.
There were only a few "I'mgonnadieI'mgonnadieI'mgonnadie..." moments, but overall Mar handled it like a champ. I know she'll be grateful to not be spitting out stones for the rest of her life.
