    I had my tonsils out at 26, and I am just going to be honest - it was brutal. Here are some tips I can give you:

    1. There were actually many moments where I would have a heating pad on my ear (there is lots of residual ear pain because of the nerves around the tonsils) and then I would also have an ice pack on my neck. This heat and ice method really seemed to work.

    2. Around the third day I developed a terrible toothache. Since I couldn't really open my mouth, they couldn't adequately check my teeth, but ended up prescribing some liquid novacane. My mom would swab my each of my teeth with it, because I couldn't really tell which tooth was actually hurting. If you get the tooth pain, ask for the novacane - it was a savior.

    3. STAY AHEAD OF THE PAIN. Even if you think you are feeling ok - take the meds. My doc had me taking the "hard stuff" (liquid hydrocodone) every 4 hours, but on the second hour between I took liquid tylenol. It was about two weeks before I could swallow a pill.

    4. I would also eat really mild foods - nothing spicy or with too much flavor - lots of potato soup, vanilla ice cream. We also bought one of those little home snow cone machines from Target for around $25 - this was awesome - the chipped ice was small, softer, and felt great on my throat.

    Best of luck as I have been there and know how difficult this is to recover from (of course nothing compared to what Trisha has been through). I will be praying for you guys.

    PS - on the upside, I was real skinny after it was all said and done :)

    Nate, don't get me wrong, but it is just so good seeing Tricia being the healthy one! Tricia, you are looking so awesome these days, and I am so happy for you. Trusting the Lord for your complete recovery, Nate.

    Praying for you! I had mine out in my early twenties, and it was rough, but I survived! Don't drink too much gatorade, as it will get your electrolytes out of whack, and makes you feel like crap. I did it, and it was a couple days before it wore off!
