Jeez, DH's had tonsilitis HEAPS this winter, one time ending up in hospital to be put on an AB IV because the oral AB's were doing nothing... and his Dr STILL won't give him a referal to get his taken out. I have heard that the older you are when you get them taken out the more it knocks you around, the recovery...

BUT

One of the girls I work with has a friend who has just got his taken out, and they botched something up with the muscles in his throat and now he has to eat and drink through a tube for the rest of his life... so I'm thinking DH's can stay there But then in saying that my nephew had his taken out and was bouncing around on the hossy bed a few hours afterwards.
