Lectomies

---

I went under the knife. I got both of them snipped off, and the thing that dangles in the middle. Yes - that's right, I got my tonsils out. After 33 years, I finally shut-up. Unbelievable right? Well I had a little help by having a tonsilectomy, an adenoidlectomy and a uvulectomy. My uvula (the dangling piece) was huge too, so it was removed. This is the before picture. As you can tell, my tonsils (were) rather large. They were interfering with my sleeping, where I would have Apnea and stop breathing at times, so I went to a specialist and he took one look and said, "That's a no-brainer, your tonsils are the cause." I will wait a few weeks after everthing has healed to post the after shot. I had a lot of nervous laughter (giggles) while on the operating table. Afterwards I felt really drugged up and it took about 3 hours of rest to bring my blood pressure down. Pam, who stayed with me throughout the surgery, dropped me off at home and I drank and drank and drank Peach and White Cranberry juice - it's awesome. My roomate Brian said he didn't even hear me breathing this morning, which means possibly no more snoring - YEAH !! Thanks to Dr Todd and the Sioux Falls Surgical Center.
