be quite painful for her, but 2 trips to the emergency room and one re-cauterizing later, Rachael said it has been the most painful thing in her whole life. And this is her third surgery since turning 20. Actually, she didn't really "say" that she signed it - she can't talk yet so I've had to brush up on my ASL skills (my previously nonexistent ASL skills).
Here's the before and after pics of her throat. Gross, but informative (if you like that kind of thing) Note the huge swelling in the before pic that is simply not there in the after pic - those were her tonsils. They've been swollen since she got mono as an undergrad and have consistently bothered her. I guess it's good that she got them out, but a week of lukewarm liquid diet and loads of pain make it seem like a worse choice than before.
