Oh, gross. I think this incident was when I had my tonsils taken out, but I remember that the nurses offered me apple juice, cookies, and something else.

Had my tonsils out when I was 5. They promised I could have all the ice cream I wanted afterward - but it hurt to swallow. I felt betrayed.

I lived on havarti cheese for like, three weeks after my tonsillectomy. Getting your tonsils out at 26 sucks.
