Tonsilectomy

I went to the Doctor's office last tuesday, and the doc told me that I need to get my tonsils out considering how many cases of Strep Throat I have had within the last few years. I was not too worried about it because I have had surgery before. When I was in 1st grade I had a lazy eye. I know. I got that fixed. In the 4th grade I had my ears pinned back because I looked a little bit like Dumbo the elephant. Looking back I think my ears were cute, and wouldn't mind if I didn't have the procedure done. None the less, got those fixed. More recently I had my wisdom teeth removed and suffered with a case of the chipmunks (big cheeks). Got that fixed. So I was not too scared about having my tonsils out. Until I youtubed it. Now I'm terrified! Have any of you gotten your tonsils out? I expect the obvious sore throat afterward, but is it worth it? I know this is a little bit different from my usual green blog, but I've figured out a way to incorporate my idea and give this post a green tint. I'm offering my removed tonsils anyone who has had their tonsils removed and wants a new, slightly worn set! Free of charge! How is that for recycling?
