Bad News, Bad, Bad, Bad

I went to the ear, nose, and throat doctor on Friday because I've had a weird tonsil for a couple months now that isn't strep.  I get strep often, but I haven't had it in about a year.  My right tonsil is swollen and covered in whitish, yellowish spots.  It doesn't hurt, I don't feel it, it doesn't bother me....but I knew it wasn't right.  A couple of weeks before camp, I went to the doctor thinking it was strep but the tests came back negative.  After medication, it did not make any difference.  So, I finally made the appointment with the ENT and these are his exact words, "That is one weird looking tonsil, and I see a lot of weird looking tonsils.  That needs to come out."  DANG!  I knew he was going to say that, but I agree.  It needs to come out to figure out what's wrong with it.  I have a nagging feeling that it isn't something to fool around with.  So I am scheduled to have surgery on August 17th followed by a liquid, soft food diet....which could work to my advantage!  Maybe a pound or two?  Anyway, I am not excited in the least.  Pray for me!  I am so not looking forward to that!  I've been collecting low fat recipes for home made frozen pops and smoothies so I am not tempted to eat ice cream!  Poor wo is me!
