Normal or Not?....

Any of you that have had your tonsils out or know someone who has please let me know if this is normal or not. I have had so many other symptoms since I have had my tonsils out and I have guessed that this is all part of the process but now I don't know.

Some symptoms: tight jaw, I can not open my mouth very much and when I try it hurts. migraines, I get the worse headaches that are migraines, even having lights on affect my headache. neck pains, I can not turn my head too much. If I need to look to the side then I need to turn all of me I can not just turn my head over. I can not check my blind spot if I were to drive. Very dizzy and tired all the time, I can not drive because I am always getting dizzy and cant even hold myself up. And I will just fall asleep in the middle of doing things. (I feel asleep while eating). I guess that this one is due to the medicine. And this is why I won't drive. Raw cheeks, ever since my surgery inside of mouth my cheeks are pure raw. I scream when I have to brush my teeth. that is pure pain and then of course I can't open my mouth very wide to brush. numb tongue, every since my surgery my tongue has been numb and I have no taste buds. every time I eat I don't feel it or taste it, but I know i am eating because of the severe pain when I swallow. and now the worst for last. My tongue is all cut up. I have 3 deep cuts in my tongue. these cuts go half way through my tongue. This one scares me the most. Will this heal? I have tried to call the doctor and he is in surgery. So I have to wait until next week before I can get in. From what I understand is that they had problems with the clamp that holds my tongue down and my mouth open.

Any of you that know any of the symptoms please let me know if any of these are normal. and how long did it take you to heal? Please give me any advice that you might have for me. Thanks for your help and prayers.
