Very unpleasant! I recall spitting up blood afterwards, but it wasn't that bad at all. Although, I was never supposed to have my tonsils removed. I was in hospital for another reason but got mixed up with someone else and the wrong operation was performed.

Yikes! How on earth does this even happen?

I'd at least expect some Cherry Garcia or Chunky Monkey after a quagmire of this magnitude.

I'm not exactly sure (it was rather a long time ago), but IIRC everyone else in the ward was there for tonsillectomy and someone must have got it wrong when the surgeon called for "next, please".

No Ben & Jerry's back in those days!

"No Ben & Jerry's back in those days!"

That's the real scandal in all of this! :-)

In seriousness, I'm sorry for your experience.

Thanks. I think that your experience sounds worse; I hope it hasn't left any lasting impression.
