I got my tonsillectomy 8 days ago and I’m genuinely convinced it’s only going to get worse from here. I was told that pain peaks at day 7 but the ear pain is still unbearable. I am loosing my godamn mind. I can barely eat, no food is desirable to me anymore so I’ve just been basically living off of watermelon and watered down Gatorade. There’s been a couple nights where I’ve thrown up all night becuase I guess lack of food+ meds= no bueno. Everything is fine except for the ear pain. That it was is making this so unbearable. I genuinely am brought to tears every time I overthink this and how much longer I’m going to be in pain for. I have one of those cooling ice masks which sort of help but it feels my family is partially annoyed that I’m still misrable and in pain from healing. Please, I just need a bit of motivation or any tips to make my experience better. Thanks!

So I made the mistake of booking my flight with kiwi, only realizing how shitty they are right before my flight. I now have a two hour layover and they made me check my baggage even though I paid for a carry on bc it was too big. I’m really anxious about missing this next flight. First one is supposed to land at 1030 and my next flight doors close at 1210. I know that I’m cutting it really close. I have to leave, Pick up my bag at baggage claim from the carousel, and then make it back to my gate. I feel like I’m so screwed but I’m wondering if there’s anything I can do to help my situation.
