I too wondered about Sandie still having her tonsils - and dealing with the tonsillitis so often. I had mine out on my 5th birthday!!! - yup - it had been scheduled twice before and had to cancel when I first came down with measles, and the 2nd time it was mumps! - in the olden days before they had vaccines for everything! My son used to get deathly sick with tonsillitis and ear infections, and they had to yank his out before he was even 2 yrs old, tho they don't like to do it that early. My ex was in his late 20's when he had his out. Boy - was he one miserable so-and-so recovering from that!

Hope everyone still fighting the flu is starting to feel better. I saw doc yesterday and mine is just a nasty head and chest bacterial infection, so I'm on meds for that and starting to feel a little better.
