Am not sure if it's ok to give a link, but I found this on fb and thought it might give some a heads up.
Some interesting points are made here about getting that tonsillectomy.
Thanks Winterinmn, I'm sure this will be helpful for those having intraoral surgery!
The part about that liquid painkiller spoke to me. They're saying after seven days you can get hooked.
And thank you, Jules.
