if ya gotta get your tonsils out...

[kingbunky 3]

...don't wait until you're 40! it hurts like a sonofabitch. due to a major snoring problem (bad enough that i would wake myself up several times a night, and my wife wears ear plugs) i had some surgery a couple days ago to remove the tonsils, uvula and some excess skin from the back of my throat. major pain.


on the plus side, i have a great big bottle of codeine and a note for three weeks off work!

I've got a buddy like that - sounds like a rabid weasel screwing a running chainsaw...

THREE WEEKS OFF WORK?!?!?!?!!

Holy shit, I should've waited... had mine out when I was 5. Went home the next day, walked into the house, went to the cookie jar and ate an old, stale oatmeal cookie...no problems.. (thought you'd like to hear about that )

i thought that was a bit extreme as well, but i'll see what i feel like after i run out of the good drugs.

..and clay, yes, it does suck, but i don't. ..and even if i did, the problem is i can't swallow.

Nah, he's normally like this if his posts are any indication.

My ex-wife never did either. She was still pretty good at it though. She just kept it "Pointed in a safe direction"

are you trying to talk me into it or what?

the answer is still no.

well, yeah, camping is different. 'what happens at the koa, stays at the koa'.


wingnut, the apnea thing was part of the problem too. my uvula would swell up a bit and actually lay on the back of my tongue. next thing i knew, it would start to slide down my throat and i'd be choking my head off. not fun. i can already feel the stitches poking around back there. i can tell they'll be fun. the doc did give me a big bottle of the good stuff, and my wife is a pharmacist so i could probably get refills!
