    Wow! That's horrible! They told me that if I start to bleed to gargle ice cold water. It doesn't sound like that would have worked for you. I read somewhere that about 3% of adults that have this surgery end up bleeding like that. Hopefully I'll fall into the majority. I definitely won't drive myself though. I'll have my wife get me.

    I've never had the pleasure of these throat pimple spikes.

    Ditto for me, but I've never had any tonsil issues that I'm aware of. I always thought it was food that had gotten stuck in my throat. I've never noticed them lodged in my mouth, but I've coughed them up in the past.

    Yuck.

    Now you've got me really scared. I'm 35. I'll just keep an extra close eye on the situation. :)
