I am finally over my bout of tonsillitis! Yay! No - I didn't have to get them removed (yet), but I did have to get an abscess drained. Yuck - I know, but at least I'm sparing you the details of how they had to reach the abscess in my throat (and it wasn't through my mouth). Unfortunately, the doctor has recommended that I seriously consider getting them taken out sometime this year. My episodes of inflamed tonsils has been getting progressively worse each year. This time it hurt so much that I couldn't swallow anything for days, and they were so enlarged I almost had no way of breathing. Yikes!
On the plus side, having tonsillitis is a great way to lose weight ... 10 pounds in 5 days. Of course now that I can eat again, I fully expect to gain that back shortly.
