Tonsillectomy Recovery Day 9

I feel as though the worst of the pain is behind me. I'm still taking my pain medicine regularly. And although the pain is decreasing, I am still having a hard time swallowing and the heartburn is not helping my throat much. I hate riding in cars because it makes me sick and I've only left my house twice. I've gone through cases of cold sweats and keep getting dizzy in the shower. After reading stories online I think my experience is nothing compared to some people out there. I would rate my pain no higher than a 6 and I've had cases of strep that was an 11 sometimes. Of course the medicine is keeping me asleep for about 18 hours a day. Unfortunately it's at the wrong time. I sleep all day and am awake for most of the night and even though I take the medicine at night its like it wants me to stay awake and get heartburn and crave foods I still don't have the throat to eat yet. It does seem as though I have most of my strength at night instead of during the day. I am out of jello and soup and don't feel like cooking this late at night when my mom is sleeping and waking her up. I REALLY WANT A DIET DR. PEPPER TOO!! I haven't had one since the Monday before the surgery. I always though that was what gave my heartburn, guess not.

On the plus side, I have cleaned out over 40+ hours on my DVR. I've caught up on Pan Am, Grimm, Eureka, Unforgettable, and a few other random shows and movies that I had taped. I will be starting Once Upon a Time tomorrow.

There are times when I think I am ready to go back to work but then I get to thinking do I really want to? and of course the answer is no! I wish I didn't have to work anymore. I need to be someone's trophy wife! Any takers? I am out of money though and am still trying to decide if I want to pick up a Sunday morning possibly night shift too. I won't be able to take my medicine though. So I guess I won't be working!! :-)

Tonsillectomy Recovery Day Three & Four

Well I have managed to clean out over twenty hours on my DVR so far by watching almost all of my Grimm episodes. It is a good TV show. Next I think I will catch on Once Upon A Time. I've only seen about 15 episodes.


For those of you who follow me on Pinterest I apologize for the food I keep posting but I'm hungry and can't eat anything. My mom just said, "I can tell you are hungry just by all the food you keep pinning!"


Today however was a very lazy day for me. I woke up at 7:30 and went back to sleep until 11:30 then I went back to sleep until 3:30. My mom came home from work and took me and Grant to Sweet Cici's for cakebatter and pink bubblegum ice cream. IT WAS AMAZING but I couldn't add my sprinkles or hot fudge or whip cream which is my favorite part with the cakebatter. I didn't feel to good after eating it and went t0 sleep in the car while my mom went soft food shopping for me. I do have a wonderful mom for taking care of me while I am in this condition. I came back home and slept until 7:30 where Gavin was waiting for me to wake up, don't get too excited he only wanted to play the Wii which is set room.


The pain these past two days has been a little more intense then the first two. It has been hurting more to talk which is why I am glad we have text messaging or else I wouldn't be able to communicate with any of my friends! Not like too many have tried to contact me anyways.


Well its back to sleep for me.
