Last night i slept so well that when the alarm when off for my first set of meds I hit snooze. I woke up an hour later and wondered if I had taken it or not. I sat there for about 20 minutes trying to remember. The pain was pretty severe though and I saw that the medicine cup was still on top of the bottle so I figured that I had forgotten. Doh.
Today is the first day that I can swallow without cringing. I still have a sore throat and it still hurts when I swallow or talk but not as much as it did. And I can get to the 3 1/2 hours between pain meds much easier. I've been using as ice pack which helps a ton. This afternoon I was feeling a lot better and was starving so I ate some cake and ice cream and some pizza. I think I overdid it. Tried to take small bites but I still think it upset my throat back there. So I'm back to strictly soft foods. Haven't had any other complications or upsets. Everything seems to be going smoothly. I wonder if I've lost any weight, I think I must have, I've been drinking a ton of ice water eating so little. I sware my stomach has been growling non stop. I've already planned what I want to eat when I can eat regular foods again but I won't go through the list now, it will just make me more hungry.
I am appreciating this documentation...I've been considering a tonsilectomy for a while and if I should go for it, I will be armed with post-surgery recovery expextations! Hope you can eat pizza, cake and ice cream without pain again soon!
ReplyDeleteI remember the first real food I ate was a bean & beef burrito from Del Taco. Smooth enough for my throat but some protein. Give something like that a try.
