Day 5

I think there is something jinxed in an announcement. Things could be going great but once you acknowledge that out loud, POW,! you get sucker punched from behind.

Last night was the worst one I've had since Tuesday. My alarm on my phone is set to go off every 3 1/2 hours for my meds and I woke up before that due to pain. I think I may have been breathing through my mouth and/or snoring because my throat was so dry. I felt dizzy and sick to my stomach. I sat up slowly, ate some bread with lots of water and got an ice pack back on my neck. i still had to wait to take the meds but I was able to fall back asleep ok.

Then early this morning the itching started again. It feels like there are little bugs in my throat and it makes me want to cough but I don't I just drink. It's probably the scabs I'm feeling.
Today has just been really slow. I've been in bed most of the day, with an ice pack on my neck. It helps a lot. I'm not eating a lot today either but I have to make sure I eat some bread when I take my meds.

I have to admit I was waiting for this day, and hopefully it's the worst and things will only get better from here. But I'm not going to announce that they are going smoothly again, at least for a couple of days. .haha.

Aside from that. My husband has been lovingly packing the freezer with treats that I can't get the nerve up to eat more than a few bites of. My kids are getting a tired of seeing me like a zombie and keep asking why I'm in my pajamas and there are little medicine cups and pieces of bread with the middle eaten out stashed all around the house. How does the McDonald's commercial go. "dahdahdahdahdah, I'm lovin it." NOT! LOL.
