I'm getting my tonsils out tomorrow... and I know recovery is pretty painful, but I was wondering: is it horribly painful like right when they wake you up from anethesia? Thanks!!

When i first woke up i felt soar but it didn't really hurt that bad. The people at the hospitals are really nice and will usually give you popsicles and pain killers if you need them.
My recovery wasn't really that bad either. I mean i wasn't in alot of pain. The pain killers that they gave me worked really well and i basically just slept for the first few days. Warning: yawning and coughing and sneezing hurt lol. But yeah just eat alot of soft food (Especially frozen stuff because it numbs it a little bit) and stay away from spicy stuff, citrus stuff, tomatoes and chocolate.
Oh and i don't know if this bothers you but the anesthesia is but in through an IV so if it bothers you you should ask them to give you some gas first lol
