Don't sweat the extractions, you've been through a lot worse already.

Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 117 | I had my tonsils out two years ago and it took about two weeks to feel better, but once my throat got past a certain point, it got better very quickly. And now that they are gone, I feel so much better! It was worth the pain.
Hang in there, Barb

Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 525 | Hey Sharlee I hope today you are feeling better. So sorry you are having a rough go of it. Thanks for the e-mail. Just remember, your getting close to being "almost done". On Sundays my wife and I watch a minister named Joel Osteen on TV. See what channel he's on and check him out. His Sunday service is on 4x on Sunday, then re-played throughout the week. He's a complete 180 degree's from a Benny Hinn type and very inspiring.
