Tonsils

I've just come out of hospital from having my tonsils out. The recovery is nothing short of absolute agony :(

I thought breaking my wrist whilst playing rugby once was painful. No sir. At least then I could breath and swallow f*cking water...!!!!

If any of you are thinking of having it done and are approaching 40, like me, watch out!! It's a doozy..! There's a reason they whip them out when you are a kid. You can bounce back easier!

Anyway, reason I mention it is the solitude (and the fact the missus and kids have gone away and taken the iPad, so I can get some peace and quiet) has forced me to look at games for my android phone. I've become addicted to Star Command!! It's ace!!



If you happen to have half your throat cut out, give it a try..! :)

Lots of ice cream lad :)

I had them out when I was a kid and they did the adenoids at the same time it was near bonfire night as I had to watch through the bedroom window so I didn't miss the bommy.
Seems like most of my childhood was spent in and out of hossy as I had convulsions when I was 2 had to have lumbar punch for it when I was 4 and was then on tablets until I was 10 luckily I didn't have them after the lumbar punch otherwise I would not have been allowed to join up.

Get well soon. I can imagine it's painful. I remember a bad case of tonsilitis in my mid-twenties - the only time I've been signed off work! Chicken soup was a good one.

Tonsils, or tongue pierced - both of which = ice cream!!! ;-)

If you want it doing Baron. I'm sure if you wanted to, they'd even pierce your helmet!
