Tonsils to go.

Jill goes into hospital tomorrow to get her tonsils removed. A tonsilectomy is one of those ops which in the young is -- snick! -- all over and done with in a few minutes. The older you are though the more complex the op becomes. Jill has had several bouts of tonsilitis and each bout (so the specialist told her) leaves scar tissue behind, which must also be removed along with the offending glands. Coupled with this is the fact that Jill's tonsils are HUGE. They're like bloody golf balls at the back of her throat. That dangly bit that nobody know the name of actually sits on her tonsils. It'll take more than a swift snick to remove them. She is, quite understandably, bricking it.
