Question #682


Do you still have your tonsils? If not, when did you have them removed? If you do, do they give you any trouble?

I STILL have my tonsils! Believe me, I rue the day my parents asked if I could get better without surgery, and the dumb doc said, "Sure." Right now I'm trying to get over a cold, and it seems to have settled in my tonsils. No pain, just the discomfort of having them swolen and being really tired.

Nope .... they left me when I was really young. I think is was standard procedure at the time. I remember having them in a jar for the longest time! Yucko!! LOL.

Robbie has tonsilitis ... and a couple of his friends have recently had tonsilectomies ... so I just wondered about you guys!!

I ahd my tonsils out when I was 7 years old. Prior to that my brother and I had too spend the entire Summer inddors because the Pediatrician did not want us to get overheated. Finally he signed off on a tonsilectomy.

We both had our tonsils out at the same time. We were over 'gassed' and were out for much, much longer than we should have been. Good thing I remeber becasue it came in handy to tell the anesthesiologist when I ahd my recent knee surgery. It saved my life!

Wherever my tonsild were does not bother me. I do however suffer from allergies and head colds at this point in my life more than I think is normal.

I suffer with colds quite often, so I always wonder if it would have helped to have them out.

To date, (knock on wood) I have not gone under the knife for anything other than a small biopsy for hives. Now, I did go under the 'laser' for eyes, but no real knife.
