Tonsilectomy... Day 6 & 7
Honestly, yesterday and the day before can be summed up pretty simply:
*waking up SUCKS. ESPECIALLY if you accidentally leave your mouth open. Holy. Shit.
*the first few swallows are the worst. Eventually that wears off.
*other than that, when the throat decided to hurt, annoy me, or STAB ME IN THE NECK WITH OUCH seems frustratingly arbitrary. The oxy no longer stings when I sip it, which makes me believe that the pain is different because the cause is different.
THE GOOD NEWS is that for the most part, I feel much better. The normal pain is a dull ache that (except when sometimes its OMYGOD) is is fairly ignorable.
S.O. put some chicken through the food processor, and I have actually been able to eat this. Meat, how I have missed you. He put beef through the processor last night: not as good! For whatever reason.
I am almost certainly well enough to leave the house now. But I've gotten kinda used to being near cold liquid at all times, so going out to run errands happens infrequently
