Well, Linds....since I knew about you having to get the tonsil-fucking-ectomy...you have my utter and sincere empathy...I went through this dreadful operation in my adult years...I've had other surgeries..not many; but, this, by far was the worst...
I was awake during the procedure..which thankfully you won't be..saving grace was having a gorgeous resident hold the mirror so I could watch..
I will say this. Don't eat nuts. It's a bitch and a half. Ice cream is worse....but popsicles rule...as does chicken broth, not too hot...
Extreme temps with food will make you cry....so, canned peaches go down nicely....baby food is the best....and knowing you, you'll try to smoke....we each learn in our own special way....screaming is not recommended..hurts the throat...
It's not the surgery that's so bad..it's the fifth day post op....so be careful..after that, you'll not regret this surgery, pain that it is..I've not had a single sore throat since.
If I could be there for you, I'd spoon feed you..
Selfishly, I must admit that road trips will be far more interesting...as it stands now, having you nod off in the middle of a sentence, cigarette dangling from your fingertips makes for boredom extraordinaire.
