Getting tonsils out for adults is a rare thing these days.
If I may be a dissenting voice... ;o) You, my brother, my sister and now geminigirl, all in the space of a year and a half or so... all adults.
Personally, I think the problem is that for a while it went really out of fashion to take the tonsils out of kids while they were small. Now those kids are getting to be adults, and they're having or still having problems, and are fed up with it, so the decision is made to yank 'em out, except NOW they're adults and it's ickier.
It was, however, not much of a big deal for my sister, while my brother had the same hideous type of experience you did. I wonder if it's a gender thing...
