I recently had a tonsillectomy; hence, my being M.I.A. lately. The feeling reminiscent to shards of glass stuck in your throat for a week kind of disrupts ones mood, I’ll be honest.
However, I’m exactly 2 weeks post-op and feeling better than ever. I owe it all to a fab blog I discovered The Healing Blossom. She is dedicated to health and wellness, and gives a play-by-play of her recovery from a tonsillectomy, as an adult.
I was so grateful to have read her story because it totally helped ease my anxiety. {AHHHHH!}
I followed pretty much exactly what she did and I can’t believe how quickly I recovered!
So remember this next time you find yourself in the market for tonsil extraction or any major surgery for that matter.
>Aloe + Coconut Water, with crushed ice from Sonic ((Yes, Sonic sells big bags of ice for only $1.75. My beautiful mother drove across town to get me this magical ice and it is the best evs!!)) was my go to drink all day. I swear this it what healed me so fast.
Aloe has soooo many nutritional and beauty benefits:
+Can be used topically on skin to treat sunburns: nourishes and hydrates the skin.
+Boosts metabolism to promote weight loss
+Excellant detox for a natural way to cleanse your colon
+Combats free radicals that contribute to illness and anti-aging
+Reduces/prevents inflammation

What I also discovered during my recovery is that my mani/pedi was flawless for a whole 8 days! No joke.
So if you want to preserve those beautifully painted digits, I suggest lying on the couch as much as possible, being waited on hand & foot, no dishes, no laundry, don’t deal with your kids, or fussing of any sort, and you’re good to go. Ha!
Well, I sure have missed blogging and all of you. I’ve been working on some great stuff and I can’t wait to share!
