Ugh! That's crazy.What was super annoying is when they took me back to her in recovery and she was aware I was there she had something she was determined to tell me -- over, and over and over again, with a mouth packed with gauze. She continued to tell me all about it on the way home and when I tried to get the pudding and the medicine into her at home. She clearly was frustrated I was too dumb to understand her urgent message. By the time she woke up she had no clue what was so important to tell me.
Thanks you all....
I was wondering about the Ibuprofen, and the nausea and any bleeding.
I am going to try to be 'out in front' of this and be prepared, with the best meds, approach, expectations....
NOT looking forward to this...
I haven't talked to DS yet, but I am sure that he is going to be anxious.
While it is not good seeing this girl have a rough recovery, it is also not good to have false 'easy' expectations!
Eeewww!My dd had hers out in December when she was 15...let's just add the age+girl into that!
She would not wake up after surgery and told me she was mad that we kept waking her...um I needed her to walk to get in my car. Then she had to pee or throw up so we stopped at McDs 1/2 mile from the dentist and she peed which she does not remember. Then we went to Dunkin' Donuts so I could get her a smoothie since she wanted one but while I was in line again she felt the I want to puke vibe.
So I lined the toilet seat with paper towels so she wouldn't have to touch filth...and she proceeded to sit on the floor with her hands touching the floor and me screaming at her to get her hands off that filthy floor as she goes to touch her mouth....sigh...
We made it home, she slept, iced and medicated with Tylenol/Advil. The just ate liquids/soft foods for the first few days. By Monday she was eating a bit more (it was done on Friday) but she was still tired. She had pockets for a while too.
My DH had them out when he was 40ish...that was torture, think man cold! I had to stop on the way home since he wanted to puke.
I had them out when I was 18 and was eating eggs for lunch. I have a high tolerance for pain! I never took Advil or Tylenol past that first day. My mother said when I was 7 and had my tonsils out on the way home from the hospital I wanted a hamburger from mcdonalds.
Don't forget a bin for dribbling food/drink. No straws were allowed for like a week or two.
I'll let you know how my daughter makes out
My oldest DD had hers out at 18 and had no issues with the procedure. However, on the way home from the procedure she tried to jump out of the car to chase Leprechauns. Then she keep repeating that she was born from a flower.
My youngest is getting hers out next week and I have plans to make her sit in the middle seat on the way home.
I hope everything goes well for your daughter. DD 15 is scheduled to have all 4 removed next month. I waited too long to have mine removed and it was brutal. So while I am a little nervous for my daughter to have the surgery, I am relieved she won't have the problems that come with letting them get bad.
