Anything I should watch out for or be aware going into it?

The pain will get worse and worse for the first 4-6 days…

Watch for bleeding. I’m sure it’s normally fine but my niece had significant bleeding and had to be hospitalized.

My brother in law almost died from bleeding post tonsillectomy. A stitch was accidentally placed in his carotid artery.
