Last night I got a major migraine headache. I think it's the anesthesia wearing off. I went to bed, after taking one of my migraine pills (so grateful to have those) and woke up a couple of hours later super sweaty. I think I slept hard. Same thing this morning. I had to take one more migraine pill this morning but haven't since then. Another side effect that started today which is lovely is some vertigo. I'm feeling dizzy and a little sore in my left ear. Also a little nauseated. If you are worrying about me right now don't, I'm OK, plus I knew it would get worse before it gets better. I've had a little bit of mucous today, maybe from something I ate and coughed a couple times which scared me, don't want to be coughing and harming any healing going on in my throat. No one has told me of any "dragon breath" yet but I can only assume that will be coming in the next few days as the scabs come. I still haven't looked in my mouth, just don't wanna freak myself out.
Eric is taking such good care of me and the house, AND the kids. He's been a real champ. I'm actually glad I read all the horror stories online about tonsillectomy's and how long the healing takes, otherwise I would not have been prepared for this much pain for such a long time... I'm hanging in there.
One more thing I forgot to mention. I noticed that at night I can breathe with my mouth closed, just through my nose. I've never been able to do that!
ooh i'm glad you told me about posting your updates on your blog. so how long ultimately will it take till you're up and at it again? i can't believe you've never slept breathing out of your nose! I think I had that dragon breath when I got my wisdom teeth out. Yummy!!
