litheraThe flap in the back of my throat is trying to kill me....
Now some of you have heard my stories about my dislike of hospitals and some of you have heard the story about the flap in the back of my throat. Let me catch everyone else up real quick. When I went in to have my tonsils and adnoids taken out the operation went fine. I woke up and after a small difficulty with the IV (my blood was running up into the bag and not the fluid down into me...) I was put into my room. As happens with anestesia, if your out for a while you tend to throw up afterwards. I did this. After doing so, I found that I couldn't breath. I was choking. The doctor who had come into the room at this point told me to calm down and breath out. I don't know about you, but when your panicing and trying to breathe, I've found it really hard to breathe out. I managed and was fine. Later the doctor told me that when he took my tonsils out he left a flap of skin hanging in the back of my throat. I could either go back into surgery so they could take it out or I could deal with it. I hate hospitals. I hate surgery. My choice was easy.
Occasionally it comes free and will try to choke me. Not sure why.
Today I can feel it in the back of my throat. It's not pleasant.
