Day 8
I've only had to get the ice pack out once today, and been able to take the pain meds every 4 hours instead of every 3 1/2! Slowly making progress. My husband told me today to watch it that the meds I am taking can be addictive. I can't imagine anyone wanting to feel the way those meds make me feel (woozy,dizzy, out of it, tired, ect.) or craving that nastiness that I've grown so used to tasting every time I put it in my mouth. But it does do a great job at taking away my pain! I still have not looked at my throat yet. I think I might get light headed when I see so much space back there. I'm getting the nerve up to do it though. Maybe I'll post a picture for you all. (: I actually took a pic of my throat before I went into surgery but a little monster named Wyatt erased my pics from that day. Go figure.

I'm so glad you're getting better! Hang in there you're almost done!
ReplyDeleteSo have you peeked at your throat yet? :D I'm glad you've made it through the first week. It sounds like it's been tough but you're a trooper (and thank goodness for great support!).
ReplyDeleteBTW, your husband is probably thinking of people like me when he mentions the addictive potential of pain meds. I've only had them once, when I had my wisdom teeth out, and it was a really stressful time in my life, and it freaked me out when I realized I was taking the pills not because the pain was unbearable, but because the disconnection from all my problems was so desirable. Don't worry--I threw the rest of the pills away when I realized it! :P
