Can your tonsils really grow back after they've been removed?

Can your tonsils really grow back after they've been removed?I seriously would like to know the answer. I had mine removed 13 years ago, but now sometimes it feels like I still have them. Is it really possilbe that they grew back? I have hear they could. A link would be nice. I tried researching on google, but I come up with nothing.

My mother's tonsils we removed when she was four. When she was in her 40s, she had a sore throat bad enough to visit the doctor. He noted that her medical records contained an error, because her records said she'd had a tonsillectomy and he saw fully formed adult tonsils.

Neither knew how long it takes or how often it happens, but hers were not the first tonsils he'd seen which had grown back.

If they weren't completely removed it is possible for them to grow back. http://yourtotalhealth.ivillage.com/can-tonsils-amp-adenoids-grow-back.html

First time i have honestly heard about this. It could be possible.

I have a feeling it's because they weren't completely removed in the 1st place
