Bowtech_archer07 Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Well, I've been battling chronic tonsillitis for about 4 months now. Finally went to an ENT(Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist) and they said that there are enough determining factors to take them if I wished for them to. I said I wanted them gone because I'm sick of having problems with them. So they tell me everything involved (surgery under general anesthetic, sore throat for about 2 weeks, can't lift anything over ten pounds for 2 weeks etc.) Then they send the nurse in to schedule the surgery. The first date they can do it is Nov 19. For those of you in IL, you know this is like a state holiday us... Opening day of 1st shotgun season. The problem is the next date they can do it would be sometime in January. I can't wait that long because I'm waiting on a job offer and I know that 2 of the places i've applied will be hiring soon after the first of the year and I can't take a chance on not being able to accept the job b/c of being down from the surgery. The main reason is, if they decide to send me off to training soon after they hire me I must pass the POWER Test which requires me to bench press 98% of my body weight... That's a little more than 10 pounds LOL. So I'm gonna miss out on opening day of deer season for the first time in like 9 yrs But it will definitely be worth it to not have to worry about this problem anymore.
