I still have not completely decided on the thing I shall do. So many things are popping out of my head lately. These things are about my impending tonsillectomy. *I have tonsillitis right now.*

Stuff like:

• When will I get operated upon? It should be done prior to the start of our mandatory summer classes. However, summer classes will already start on Friday! Waaaahhh!
  
• How about my recovery, the post-operative period? How long will it last? *I should recover fast because I'll have classes soon.*
  
• How will I eat? I do not like to have an NGT (Nasogastric Tube)! *I'm OA!* 
• How about the anesthesia? Will it not affect my memory? I do not want my noobish memory get worse. *I know that this thing has not been proven yet. However, it has not been disproved as well, so there is still a posibility of it occuring.* Waaaahhhh!!!
  

I need to weigh things very well. I must develop an Intra-operative NCP for myself. I must be organized and systematic in the things I shall do. *Yuck! Toxic!*

Tonsillectomy

Definition

Tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the tonsils. The tonsils are part of the lymphatic system, which is responsible for fighting infection.

Purpose

Tonsils are removed when a person, most often a child, has any of the following conditions:

• obstruction
• sleep apnea (a condition in which an individual snores loudly and stops breathing temporarily at intervals during sleep)
• inability to swallow properly because of enlarged tonsils
• a breathy voice or other speech abnormality due to enlarged tonsils
• recurrent or persistent abscesses or throat infections

Physicians are not in complete agreement on the number of sore throats that necessitate a tonsillectomy. Most would agree that four cases of strep throat in any one year; six or more episodes of tonsillitis in one year; or five or more episodes of tonsillitis per year for two years indicate that the tonsils should be removed.

To tonsillectomy, or not to tonsillectomy?

That is the question...

In the past, I have been used to the situation wherein I always come ahead of the pack. It is not something done consciously. It is more because of my tendency to plan ahead of things wherein I make it a point that I always know where I need to go.

It is a bit different lately. The behavior of planning ahead haven't change one bit. However, the point of reaching a decision upon where I should be heading is still quite uncertain as of the moment.

You see, it is like this: I have a map, a plan of everything I want to go to but then I haven't decided on where I want to head off, yet. It is just like wanting to go to Disney land and Ocean park but you can only choose one because of time constraints. Or, just like choosing between double-dutch and coffee crumble but you can only eat one scoop because your caloric intake had already exceeded the acceptable values.

Dilemma!

Grrr!

This is one of the downsides of having a plan. You do know how to get wherever you want to go but you encounter problems choosing among the routes laid out.

I hope I resolve this.

I know, I will. I just hope it's soon...
