My poor, confused kitty.

[aisalynn]

When I'm laying down my cat likes to curl up in the crook of my arm, rest her head on my chest and knead my neck and shoulder as I pet her. Since getting my tonsils removed however, my neck is swollen and tender and it hurts when she does that. I've been lying in bed for a week now, which she has seen as ample opportunity to curl up with me, but she gets very confused and upset when I push her away from my neck. She's at the foot of my bed right now, sulking.

Poor thing. Mommy still loves you, I swear.

Even if you do have an annoying habit of peeing on my bedroom floor. *sigh*


Seventh day since getting my tonsils removed, and I'm still not talking, just gesturing and writing things down. My dad keeps trying to get me to talk, saying that I need to or my throat won't heal right--which is utter bull shit, 'cause I know people who didn't say a word for at least two weeks after getting their tonsils removed and their fine. It hurts when I talk, and I sound like I'm deaf so people have trouble understanding me, so I don't see the point.

I think the scabs in the back of my throat are about ready to fall off, which is gross and uncomfortable. I keep eating popsicles. I didn't like them at the beginning--too cold--but they're doing wonders to sooth my throat now that it's all scratchy from the scabs.

I've cut down on the pain medicine--only taking it about twice a day now--which is good, because it made me feel nauseous and it burned going down, making me gag and cry.

All in all, this has been a very unpleasant experience, to say the least. But my doctor's tell me it was worth it--apparently my tonsils were far more infected than I thought. They said it was the worse they'd seen in a while.


Big Bang reveal was posted. I'm so excited about my artist. I can't wait to see what she comes up with. :D

Getting your tonsils removed is the worst! Get better soon sweetie. :)

It really is. I've been miserable all week.

Hope you will feel better soon.

Thanks. :) By the way, I love that icon!

[cordykitten]

I love the icons too - that's why I asked to have it personalized. I still have the blank version too. Mmmh and if I'm not wrong another one from a different maker with another text, I would have to look to be sure if you're interested. The maker sadly deleted her/his LJ.

I had a couple of polyps taken off my throat last March. It took weeks to feel better - and I was ready to happily strangle my family. They simply could not understand the concept of 'painful to talk'

I gargled with hot salty water a lot and although painful, it really helped. I hope you feel better soon.

I know! My dad gets so frustrated with my because I won't talk, but he still has his tonsils so he has no idea what I'm going through.

Ugh. Salt water. The idea of it makes me cringe.

The salt water thing is surprisingly helpful, but I agree, the thought is cringe worthy.

Here's hoping that you feel better soon.
