Tonsillectomy

Gisèle is in the midst of her 5th bout of strep throat in the past 12 months.  At her appointment Tuesday, her doctor recommended she get her tonsils removed - a decision we wholeheartedly agree with.  (We'll meet with the ENT on Monday to schedule the surgery.)  After her appointment, Jamie and I were giving her a simple explanation of the surgery.

Us, grinning like maniacs, to Gisèle:  "And afterward, your throat will be a little bit sore, so you'll only be able to eat soft things... like ice cream!  And jello!  And pudding!" 

Gisèle, worried:  "But I'll still be able to eat healthy things, too, right??"
