i had mine taken out a few years back, mine were like big grapes in my mouth haha, fuck it sucked.
surgery was fun though, i remember them putting the iv in, and this white liwuid flowing into my hand, and then i remember saying hunh.....my arm tingles.....next thing i knew i was being wheeled out of surgery
they gave me some tylenol three with codene, that stuff is awesome, im not big on medicating myself, and my throat hurt a lot, but thats the shit
i remember at one point, looking at my hands, then looking at my girlfriend (at the time), and saying "Why didnt you tell me HOW HUGE MY HANDS ARE", they looked like totally disproportionate to the rest of my arm.
also, don't forget to eat! i couldnt feel anything on meds, so i didnt feel hunger and accidently (no joke) ate only a popsicle and some yogourt over the course of 3 days, i only noticed when i saw how thin my face was, turns out id lost 10 pounds. i lose weight like nobodies business
