Tfw you’re 32 and you realize it was your tonsil stones that tried to kill you when you were seventeen
#first off I didn’t know that’s what they had been until I was like 30#and I heard the term on the Sawbones podcast#and was like aaaaaah that’s what those bitches had been#no one ever told me because I extremely failed to describe them to the doctor at the time#but then again the doctor extremely failed to listen to me#anyway afterwards when they removed my tonsils and the site got turbo infected#and I almost died#and later they told me I’d be an asymptomatic carrier of a deadly bacteria#that quote - probably was hiding in some small nook of my throat harmlessly until a large wound happened to occur nearby -#well I guess nobody clued in or told me that you know tonsil stones form in the cratered pocket of the tonsils#AND ARE CAUSED BY BACTERIA#AND MINE HIT ALL THE SIGNS OF THE WORST AND MOST BACTERIA-ISH STONES YOU CAN HAVE#so yeah anyway I never managed to tell anyone abt them after the first doctor waved off my first attempt#at describing them#so idk if the operating staff even knew that Id been getting them and how bad they were#soooooo maybe they didn’t clean the area as good as they might have had they known bacteria was an issue#idk idk#anyway so that’s today’s realization!#tonsil stones are a BITCH#tw medical#sorry abt all that I needed to talk abt it#tw gross#tw body issues
