Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy... tell me what you know.

[~clover~]

My DD1 had tonsils, adenoids & grommits done at 5.
She was ok the next day, took 2 - 3 days for her to act/play like normal, but its a total of 2 weeks to completely recover.
She refused to eat the first day, but started slowly the second day. I think they have to avoid nose blowing for the 2 weeks too from what I remember.

The surgery is hard, but as Marnikat said, there are no needles til they are out. It doesn't take long.
DD had a reaction to the anaesthetic too, but its something that runs in our family. Nothing dangerous or life threatening, just being awake & crying the second she came out. She didn't sleep it off & wasn't drowsy like the others.
