Um, my tonsils are still gone after seven years.

One of the best things I ever did. Seriously. It wasn't fun for the first week afterward, but in the end I was glad I had it done. It's been seven years, and I haven't been bothered by strep throat in all that time.

And, oh, yeah, they're still gone. ;)

I have had tonsillitis *so much* and *so badly*... not to mention that every day of my life even when I'm not sick I wake up with a sore throat, can't sleep properly and can't swallow easily...

One or two weeks more of pain and then *that's it for life*? REALLY? I'll take it!!!

The woman who reckoned they grow back was an idiot. :D

Thanks for your encouraging words. :)

Can't promise you'll never get another sore throat - I've had the flu, and colds, and the like - but nothing like the nastiness of tonsillitis.

And yeah, whoever said they grow back is on something (and whatever it is, it must be really good).

Oh yes, don't worry, I'm under no illusions. It's just that I even look forward to having a sore throat that doesn't also involve the worry that I may choke on my own tonsils (or attempt to remove them myself with a butter knife from the kitchen).

Good luck with the operation. Don't be scared. I hope it goes well

I swear I meant to comment on this at the time! My excuse that I am busy is a flimsy one, because I am always busy, but I'm sticking to it nonetheless.

GO GO TONSIL-SMITERY!

*punches you in the arm* Your excuse sux! But I am busy too, so I forgive you.

*winning smile* Will you write me a poem of tonsil-smitery - pretty please? Doesn't have to be until after operation - I will need entertainment. I will give you some 'items' for the poem if you need a bit of inspiration.

*tonsil smash*!

I just love phrases like that. Dead tonsils. Absent tonsils. Defeated tonsils. They sound so good.
