Tonsillectomy 4 Hours After Surgery

I took this video at about 2:00 PM on the day of my tonsillectomy. My wife tells me they allowed her to come into the recovery room at 10:15 AM. The surgery ended sometime before that.

The bleeding from my nose is from an unrelated nasal surgery, and is not normal for a tonsillectomy.

Combining the two surgeries reduced the cost and reduced the risks associated with general anesthesia. It did make the recovery less pleasant, though.
