Ok, so since it's Wednesday, I don't remember everything blow by blow. So! Sunday I was still feeling gross - still had no crazy pain that I was expecting. I however was drinking a lot more, which is a good thing. Justin and I went out to eat, I ordered french toast and ate TWO WHOLE SLICES! Drenched in maple syrup of course, but I ate it! Oh and I stole Justin's cup of Chicken Orzo soup which felt very nice on my irritated throat. Later on we went to a friends house to watch some movies. We watched Coraline and Push while I fiddled with my ice pack and tried to gnaw on some cheddar ranch pretzels.
Monday (Day 6):
I finally removed myself from my crutch: the ice pack. I was told that I needed to lay off because too much ice can result in inflammation too. Grrr. I was pretty grumpy for awhile, just didn't like having my neck numb - but I got used to it. Justin and I watched the Watchmen in the afternoon. I went out with my friend around 5:30 to go to Mr. Lemon for some slushies, the bead store, and to Chelo's for some supper. Chelo's was an interesting trip. I ordered a soup and a chicken pot pie. I had three bites of the pot pie and had 3/4 of the soup. I took home my blueberry pie dessert that came with the meal. I was hurting after that.
Tuesday (Day 7):
Still had no ice pack! And I'm waking up at my usual times now, and not between 6 and 7. I've even cut down on my medications. However, I did notice some classic signs of thrush. I called my ENT office and they said they couldn't do anything till Thursday. If that travels down to my throat someone is going to PAY. Move forward...I met my friend Appun for lunch at Gourmet Heaven. I'm still not an active person in conversation seeing as though when I told longer than a couple of words I get all gurgley. I ate most of my food, which was a hodge podge of everything that looks easy enough to eat. I wound up watching A Haunting in Connecticut with my sister (a let down). Went to get more slushies at Mr. Lemon with my mother later in the day, I got root beer float this time. I was certainly busy yesterday, because after the slushie trip I went to Borders with Justin, stopped at Office Max, and then Shaw's for some ice cream and a movie rental. Later on, I was awoken by a boyfriend amazed at how fast I fell asleep again. Perhaps I'm not 100% still. hehe. Oh by the way, I finished the rest of my pot pie and attempted to eat a french fry. The french fry got stuck and ripped off a scab on my right side. Hands down, that moment was the worst pain of the week.
Wednesday (Day 8):
I woke up really late today. I guess I woke up around 8:00, didn't move...and then fell back asleep around 8:45 to wake up again at 10:30! Justin and I just moped around the house all day. I made him a tuna melt and some broccoli soup for myself. We watched the movie we rented last night, Knowing (also a let down). I read the rest of my book: Need by Carrie Jones and started reading Gentlemen by Michael Northrop. I forced him to watch Kung Fu Panda again and spent the rest of the afternoon on the internet. Now it's 7:45 and I'm eating some macaroni and cheese, drinking fruit punch, and watching Golden Girls. Shortly, I'll be at Target with my mother and sister. I've only taken ONE Tylenol today. Hooray!
