Day 3

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!
