I went all day without pain meds!

I think I'm on the mend! Woohoo! Take that tonsils!!!! (or lack thereof...)

Thanks everyone for your support during this time!

With me being a guy that takes hardly any pain medicine, I was worried about you and have been saying an extra prayer for you to get off that stuff.  Thank you Lord.

KIM-tonsillectomies are very painful for adults to recuperate from-much harder than it is for children. If there is actual PAIN (different from just DISCOMFORT), take your medication, AS ORDERED. People do not get "addicted" when there is ACTUAL pain. They run into trouble when they take medication when they are no longer hurting or for something other than it's intended purpose (like taking a pain pill to help go to sleep)

I don't mean to sound "preachy"--just want to make sure you know it's "okay" to take YOUR medication.

You'll notice I always used the word MEDICATION and not DRUGS. There's a huge difference.

I wish I could say that Kim... but soon I will be able to say that too!

Congrats on the pain med free day!

good job love!!! :)

Woo Hoo.. Good for you.. But, just like Gina said.. it is very hard for adults to go thru the tonsil thing.. So, take the pain meds if you need them..

Thanks everyone for your help and support. I'm happy to say I didn't need the meds today either. I am going back to work tomorrow and all I do is talk at work since it's a call center, so I've packed the pain meds just in case and I'm taking the numbing tetracaine sucker with me too. I will be prepared!!!!

And George, don't worry... It's liquid and it tastes yucky. I have never liked meds or taking pills or anything, so that will never ever be a problem with me.

Love u guys!
