Day Four Post Op.

My Throat Day Four.

 

The nights are really difficult, waking up with ear aches and jaw pain and havig to force down applesauce that goes down like a thick paste before being able to take any medicine. Its awful! I made it through another night and decided that I was going to try to take a shower before my boyfriend left this morning. I've been reading so many blogs that say weakness makes standing up in the shower impossible; I had no issues. Today I had the entire house all to myself and I appreciated it. I was able to spend the day not talking to anyone and resting my voice. I was able to talk but it hurt a great deal and i sounded like i had a mouth full of water so people had a hard time understanding me anyway. I was still in a great deal of pain but I laid around the house basking in the aloness.. until i spotted that i was almost out of my codeine (yes already) and i wasn't allowed to drive. Blast them all for leaving me home alone!! I decided that i was well enough to make the trip to target and I would do so after a bowl of chicken noodle soup. Okay in reality I could only take two sips of broth but i figured that would be enough to have the energy i needed on my big trip. I left my Pj's on and I hopped in my car and took off! The car ride actually made me feel pretty dizzy and really tired. By the time i Picked up my pills and made it back to my house I was ready for a nap, which I took! I deserved it haha! I spent the rest of the day laying around eating popsicles trying to stay hydrated. This is the first day I tried to Drink some soda. It made that thick salivia in my mouth even thicker (i have no idea how thats possible) to the point where I could barely swallow. I went back to water and waited until my boyfriend arrived back. I requested a trip to Rita's for some chocolate ice, it had been far too long sine I had enjoyed the taste of chocolate, and he gladly accepted. I got dressed for the first time in days and we were off! The car ride made me feel beyond sick and my throat was starting to feel worse. I tried not to talk as much as I could. We made a quick food stop for him.. and he ate another gigantic sandwhich infront of me.. the smell was making me feel even sicker by the minute. By the time we made it to Rita's i was feeling bad enough that I could only take a few bites of my chocolate ice, Blasted throat!  We got home and started watching the sequal to last nights movie which was hard to enjoy due to feeling generally unwell. I milked a back rub out of my boyfriend and we went to sleep.
