Day Seven Post Op.

My Throat Day Seven.

 

 

 

Today my throat feels absoluetly horrible. There are two spots back there that feel exteremly dry and drowning them in water is doing nothing. It feels like when your nose is raw from a cold and it just keeps getting more chapped before it gets better. Even breathing through my nose is drying these two spots out. I'm pretty sure they are scabs and if they would fall off live would be worth living. Pain meds are a must today i feel awful! My Dad had been slow cooking beef and noodles in the crock pot, talk about tourture! I decided that a little bow tie pasta wouldnt be the end of the world; it's soft and mushy, right? I slowly cut up three noodles and ate them they were pretty delicious. About half way through my feast I accidently swallowed a piece of beef. You can tell from my picutre when it slid down my throat it took almost all the white membrene with it. I immediatly got a ton of ear pressure and pain for about five minutes before it subsided. The right side of my throat felt awesome! Absolultey prefect!! If it wasn't for the left side of my throat still hurting from the other scab I dont think I would need the pain meds anymore! I worried for a bit I knocked the scabs off too soon and bleeding would start but it didnt, i was in the clear. I visited with my grandparents and mother for a bit. It was hard to listen to them have a normal conversation, my ears were super sensitive and aching pretty bad. When I returned home I took a nap which intensified the ear aches. Thank god for my heating pad it can subside the pain in about five minutes. After waking up i decided that it was time for some more pasta and to give lefty the same freedom i did righty. It took a couple swallows until i finally felt the scab fall 1/2 way off. The pain was intense and i had to force myself to swallow again to knock it the rest of the way off. SCORE!! I felt the same intense throbbing for a few minutes and my pain was gone. I instantly felt better and was able to start drinking more fluid than i had been the other days. My Dad was nice enough to use our magic bullett and create a gatoraid slushie for me. Stoked i attempted a chocolate pudding cup to get something in my stomach but it was a fail, my throat started to feel super sensitive and everything bothered it, even breathing.  I decided to take my pain meds before bed just incase the ear throbbing wanted to come back in the middle of the night and to get rid of the sensitivity i was feeling. I woke up 30 minutes later with a horrible burning sensation in my throat. My meds were irratating my throat hard core. I was able to fall back asleep after drinking some water to get rid of the burning.
