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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I am home sick with a sinus infection. I had to break up a fight between my two dogs over who got to chew on my snotty tissue. FML
Today, I've been sick with both a chest cold and a sore throat. As a result, I've also been dehydrated, causing me to have a headache. Whenever I cough, I feel like my throat is being ripped apart and my head is about to explode. FML
Today, I have both a cold and a period. Tomorrow, I will have a cold, my period and my wisdom teeth taken out. FML
Today, I cracked a rib coughing. FML
Today, I had two of my wisdom teeth removed. One side of my face is completely swollen, and the other is normal. I feel like the elephant man. FML
Today, and for the past 2 weeks, I've had a massive pain in my throat. It went down for a while with antibiotics, but when it came back I had to go to the hospital for an emergency surgery. There was a 3 cm abscess growing in my throat. Happy birthday to me! FML
Today, I finally started feeling better after getting a tooth pulled last week. I also started something else: my period, while I was stuck in the dentist's chair during my follow-up appointment. FML
Today, it's 3 days before Christmas and my first day of holidays. Today is also the first day I have been sick all year. Hello tonsillitis, goodbye fun. FML
Today, I think I've finally gotten past the food poisoning that caused me to puke so violently that I pulled muscles in my abdomen and chest. Unfortunately, some of that vomit hung around long enough to give me a sinus infection. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Is there a reason why you're not taking a cough suppressant?

Your body didnt decide to get it. The surgery lowered your immune system. Anyways all the more reason to pig out on ice creams and jello

I don't think your body agreed with your doctor that your tonsils should have been removed.

Why bother saying something that stupid?

I agree a tonsillectomy isn't good for your immune system, but if she's coughing right after surgery it's unlikely it's because of her lowered immunity as the timeline is too quick.

That'd make a wicked selfie! D:

You should go back to the hospital right away. Bleeding after a tonsillectomy can be very dangerous and needs to be checked out ASAP.

Go to the hospital because you are at risk for hemorrhaging.

If you're bleeding after a tonsillectomy, why are you posting on FML about it instead of rushing yourself to the ER?

You need to go back to the hospital ASAP. Bleeding after a tonsillectomy is extremely dangerous. Also have the dr prescribe you some opiate cough medicine. It will not only help with your cough but also any pain from the surgery. Good luck OP!

Opiates kill people even if you use them right but I agree
