Today, after having my tonsils removed, I coughed so hard in my sleep that I woke up spitting blood. Turned out I'd ripped my throat. They had to put me to sleep and cauterize the damaged area. Now I'm in even worse pain than before. FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, after a very painful mouth surgery, I went home to take a nap. Then my nose started bleeding, so I stuck a tissue in it and fell asleep. When I woke up, I was so high from painkillers that when I saw the tissue, I thought it was a ghost. I screamed so loud I burst a stitch. FML
Today, I had a dentist appointment in which a nurse numbed my mouth. After coming home, I took a nap in which I unknowing bit through my top lip. I physically can't speak. FML
Today, I got my tonsils removed. My body also agreed that today was a good day to get a bad cough. My bed currently looks like a scene out of "Dexter". FML
Today, I woke up from my wisdom tooth surgery… while they were still sawing my jaw. I had such a bad panic response that they also cut my lip, so I have stitches inside and outside of my mouth, as well as the haunting crackle of bone being removed from my skull stuck in my head. FML
Today, I had a cold and was vomiting. I sneezed really hard, smacking my nose onto the toilet seat. I woke up a few minutes later with my nose bleeding, painful, and still stuffy. FML
Today, I got my wisdom teeth removed and took the pain medicine that the oral surgeon prescribed for me before bed. The pain actually did go away for the most part, until my stomach decided to betray me and make me throw up, forcing my jaw to open more than it could after surgery. FML
Today, I got my wisdom teeth pulled. Apparently the medicines don't work on me. I woke up in the middle of the surgery and felt EVERYTHING. One of the nurses asked if I was okay, and the doctor just kept saying "Don't worry she's just dreaming", while tears were pouring down my face. FML
Today, I noticed one of my toenails was getting super long, so I cut it. In doing so, I accidentally ripped it off and it started bleeding. As I went to get something to stop it from bleeding, I got a huge splinter in my little toe, causing a painful infection. I think I should just go back to bed. FML
Today, I woke to find a pool of my own blood all over my pillow. Frantic to find the source of the blood, I rushed into the bathroom and tripped over my too-long pajama pants. Crashing to the floor face first, I broke my nose. Turns out I had just bitten my lip in the middle of the night. FML
Today, I got a nosebleed. For 7 hours. I ended up in the ER. FML

Ouch! At least you woke up instead of choking to death on your own blood OP, but the pain must be unbearable. You have my sympathy.

Get better soon, OP! I can't imagine what you're going through right now. Hope there is nothing more to this than what already happened.

The worst part is not being able to eat what you want.

they tell you that you can have all the ice cream you want. But it was the last thing I wanted because it curdled in the back of my throat. Having tonsils out is miserable

Yep, Ice cream burns like Hell after this surgery. But its better to have the tonsils removed in the long run. Feel better soon.

Remember a few years back when that little girl went into a coma and became brain dead after having her tonsils out? At least you're not her. Look at the bright side.

I'm curious as to why you thought that this would be a good thing to comment?

And this, folks, is why you should not compare apples to pears.

I had a similar experience, however I deserved it. I went to a offspring/bush concert, and screamed so loudly that I ripped my own stitches out. Am I think only one who thnks that "put me to sleep" was a bit off?

Yeah, OP is in serious pain and had to be anesthetized just to fix the problem. But it's fine, OP...

Ouch, I feel your pain OP. When I had my tonsils out I kept throwing up and re-opening the scabs. Just keep taking your medications and you'll be better soon!
