Adult TONSILLECTOMY Question.......??? Please help.....?

I am 20yrs old n had my tonsillectomy about a week ago because they were in bad shape and i had tonsil stones... Im on day 8 now and the pain is pretty ok but i was wondering how will i know when the scabs will come off?? And how will it feel?? Will i end up swallowing the scabs (yuck!)?? And also will it come out all in one piece...?? Thanks....just curious
