The staples have been successfully removed, that is a very odd few minutes. When he gets the micro pliers/scissors tool to your throat, you have a split 2nd where you feel very strongly that it might be too early for removal. It did not hurt nearly as bad ad I imagined. There were only 2 or 3 staples that didn't want to cooperate. Dr Lykins is one of the most positive, and optimistic people I have met. His attitude is infectious, and I feed off that kind of energy. The tonsils remain the source of a great deal of pain. He assured me that they should be very sore, because in addition to the tonsilectomy, he took some extra tissue above and beyond the minimum required.
