Ill
Describe the most serious illness you have ever had.
I have always rated my “hurts” in order. I haven’t really been seriously ill, but I have had a few things happen to me that I would rate as “serious hurt”
1. Having my wisdom teeth pulled in my 20′s.
2. Having my tonsils removed at 19
3. Having a baby
After having my teeth removed, the pain pills made me sick, I got dry socket and after all that, didn’t loose a dang pound!
When I had my tonsils removed, the doctor accidental clipped a nerve near my ear. That was pain I can’t describe and a couple days before I had my tonsils removed, my mother made me have a complete GI series run to make sure my stomach was ok. I had no idea what that was about. Then I found out. Then I yelled at my parents.
Having a baby was a breeze. I had a couple really hard pains and there he was. The worse part was getting over the stitches.
I did have the flu, first time ever, over the Christmas holidays in 1999 and New Year’s Eve night I spent it on the couch. That was bad and really messed up Christmas. I don’t think I had ever been that sick before. Ran 103 temp for 3 days in a row and couldn’t work for 2 weeks. And when I get fever it goes straight to my eyes and they hurt so bad. Finally had to go to the doc and get something for what was wrong with me and in a couple days I was much better. I blame that disease on my dearest friend. She came bowling on Monday coughing, and by Wednesday we all had the flu. We still laugh about it today and if she ever coughs, we will all get up and move to another table. 
Ok, that tonsil thing sounds HORRIBLE!! I’m glad I had mine out when I was just a wee girl and I don’t remember anything about it!
I’ve never had my tonsils removed and now I’m really glad I never did! My parents were too poor to consider stuff like that. If it wasn’t life threatening, I didn’t get it done.
Oh I never had mine out either. Just glad you came out of it okay.
Ouch. They wanted to take my wisdom teeth out too but I still have them. I told them over my dead body. He! He! They don’t hurt so why bother with them. The tonsils episode sounds horrible. Unfortunately, I don’t know anything about having a baby naturally but I do know that c-section is very painful recovery. Just trying to move after the surgery was very painful.
WOW! They cut a nerve! Holy Moly I can’t even imagine that kind of pain. I am such a wimp when it comes to pain. I am glad everything worked out. It sounds like overall you are very very healthy and that is GRREAT!
