Is this a good excuse?!

Is this a good excuse?

I had my tonsils out about a week and a half ago, (and I'm not so young anymore, so the older you are when you have them out - the harder it is to heal), and the pain medicene I'm on makes me irritable and paranoid, but I'd rather be on the "egde" than in pain. But, I do notice that people get frustrated with me because I've been SO irritable. Do you think I should use the medicene as an excuse for the way I'm acting or just apologize and be done with it?

I had my tonsils out at age 25 and it was no picnic either. The medicine made be ill and edgy too. I would just apologize in advance and people will just have to deal with it because it is very painful - not to mention aggravating because everything you take has to be in a liquid form for the first week or so and food - well that is entirely another issue. I had to learn to eat grits, which I hate, but when you are tired of soup and stuff, you'll eat what is less painful. I totally understand what you are going through.

Hang in there !
