1. Sorry to hear that.
I wish I had mine out when I was a kid, they can be a pain.

Hope you feel better soon.

2. Have they tried to kill you yet?
That is a serious question, when I was 8, I almost suffocated on mine. One day my mother tried to wake me up, my face was blue, called 911, emergency surgery to remove them. They were the size of golfballs, each, so big that would have killed me in minutes if Mom didn't respond as quickly as she did. All I remember is trying to breath through what could only be described as those REALLY thin coffee cup straws.

3. Not yet
Buy they sure do *feel* like they are the size of pingpong balls. I might have to have them removed if they get infected again after this.

4. Shouldn't you have them removed?
Mine were at age 6.

5. Probably
They've never been infected before this year. I can't have them removed while I'm here at college. Well I could, but I'd rather have it done at home.
