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

Same thing different taste

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

Numb

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, me and my boyfriend had sex but stopped when I felt pain downstairs. That evening he wanted me to go to the emergency room but I wanted to sleep it off. Turned out I needed surgery. One of my fallopian tubes had ripped. The sex was so rough, I got an intravenous hemorrhage. FML

Ouch

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

Panic!

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

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.

That's painful! I had the same thing happen when I was 16. They tried cauterizing it while I was awake but I kept gagging and the doctor was getting mad so they finally put me to sleep. Rest up and do as little talking as possible!

Good luck! I had mine taken out a year ago and it was the worst pain ever for me. Hope yours isn't as bad as mine was!

at the very least, you were rushed in and were able to be put under once more! If you ask I'm sure they'll supply a painkiller. My mother did the same and didn't get to the hospital fast enough and they had to do the whole thing with her wide awake. Noot a fun time.

I had somewhat of the same thing happen to me after my tonsillectomy, apparently this can be quite lethal. So enjoy the pain, because it means you're still alive.

I'm guessing you are in your teens? Every doctor I've talked to has said that the longer the delay on removing tonsils, the more painful and difficult the surgery itself is, and that recovery tends to take longer and be more prone to complications. Hope your through the heals up soon, and that you only have to get them removed the one time, OP! (Yes they can grow back, despite being mostly useless for modern humans.)
