New procedure for tonsil surgery

New surgery to remove tonsils ends weeks of ice cream, jello, and pain. It's described as a day or two with strep throat type pain and then a nagging discomfort of a cold. The procedure is called Colblation, it uses a plasma field to break the chemical bonds fo the cells.

I also went through a tonsilectomy and adenoidectomy many decades ago. My was because of repeat tonsilitis. On a funny note, my was done around my B-Day. So it was said to be a Birthday present. I went through the pain and liquid diet. Luckily we had some liquid Apirin or gum to ease the pain.

Also a problem with mine was a secondary infection. My mother had got homework for me to accomplish. When she thought I was at a point to begin, she thought that I was slacking. Come to find out I had come down with the 3 day measles. Quite a suprise because I had the German Measles as a yung child.
