I'm still alive!
Hey there, faithful readers. As indicated by the title, I'm still alive, though I am on a soft foods diet. Did I get in a fight? Did you see the other guy? Did Chuck Norris pay me a visit? None of that. I had my tonsils out. "Tonsils out?" you ask. Isn't that for kids? Yes, usually... and it should have been for me as a kid, too, except it wasn't, so now I had it done as an adult. I'm glad I could clear everything up for you. Unfortunately, having them out as an adult is supposed to be far more painful than having them out as a kid. I say "supposed to be" because I'm not really experiencing the true wrath of tonsillectomy pain (yet?). My little buddy Percocet is taking care of that. It still hurts, sure, but no more than a bad bout of Strep does. And I'm doing this to eliminate risk of future strep infections... so I can consider this my final case of Strep, and when you look at it that way, it's no big deal. ...
