Guest guest Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Hi everyone. I had my tonsillectomy yesterday morning, and although initially I was told I would be kept in for a few days to be administered my meds via IV, I was let go yesterday evening, because I seemed to be doing okay. I was cranked up on pain meds....so of course I was feeling " fine " . I had been struggling since last night to get any fluids down at all. My throat started to swell shut and I couldn't even swallow my own saliva. As of today, I was on day 2 without Prednisone....and I could sure tell. I was in excruciating as every joint in my body decided to flare right up. Went back to the hospital this afternoon, and was just released again a little while ago. Had some lovely IV fluids and meds to help me out. Was feeling a lot better initially, but am going downhill again slowly here. Was switched to a liquid pain reliever, but I struggle to get it down as well. I was told to go back to the hospital in the morning if I am still unable to take my meds and swallow properly. I am wondering if the excessing swelling in my throat could in some way have to do with missing 2 days of Prednisone. Sure, I'm supposed to swell after a tonsillectomy...but this is ridiculous. Needed to vent...thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
