Day Eight Post Op.

My Throat Lookin' Awesome on Day Eight.
 
 
To me the above picture is a beautiful one. Things are finally starting to look up, there's the light at the end of the tunnel everyone was talking about! This I woke up at 4 am and took my codeine as normal and fell back asleep. My next dose was at 8 am and I over slept it by thirty minutes. When I finally decided to get my lazy butt up my ears were throbbing the worst yet, but no jaw or molar pain. I decided to lay on my heating pad before I took my meds and soon the pain subsided. I felt pretty darn good. The throat sensativity went away and so did the throbbing. I decided to go back to bed and forgo the medicine in hopes that when i woke up it wasn't the worst decision of my life. I got up around eleven thirty and felt pretty good. I knew i we dehydrated so i made another gatorade slush and started to play around on my computer. Swallowing was pretty easy to do. I decided to ran sack the house to find some foods that i could shove down my newly healed throat.. DONT JUDGE ME!! haha.. My Father continued to be a food natzi so i put all the bad items away and made some soft carrots. I was able to make it through lunch and into the evening with out the pain meds today. I never thought I would be able to say that. At this point the pain in my throat is about equal to the worst strep i've had.. so its firmiliar. I'm hoping to be able to enjoy some mac and cheese for dinner tonight and start re-hydrating, im getting pretty dehydrated. The plan is to keep using the codeine at night to help with the intense ear aches. The funny thing is, I took the codeine last at four a.m and since about 12:30 noon i've been feeling super shakey, I think my body is reacting to not having it in my system anymore.
