Well I am happy to finally say that I feel human again. This is the first time I have wanted to sit in front of the computer since my tonsillectomy on 12/26. It will be 2 weeks tomorrow, and I have to say that it was the worst 2 weeks of my life. I never imagined the pain would be so much, even though the ENT doctor told me I would probably need 2 weeks off work. "It will feel like an extreme case of strep throat" is a gigantic understatement of what you actually feel. Plus the older you are, the worse it is....great, remind me again why I waited until I was 33!
I spent the first few days recovering at my parents house with no babies. Aaron went and spent a few days down at Grammy and Pap's with the kiddos. I have to say that I slept away the first week in a vicodin haze. I can look back now and say that I at least got to catch up on some sleep that I have missed over the last 3 years.
I tried to eat ice cream the first day and got sick, so I am not sure if I will ever be able to eat ice cream again (or at least vanilla ice cream). So there has been a lot of soup and yogurt in my diet. I have been able to eat more solid things (with some pain - but I am tuff, yeah right) over the last few days.
The good things that came out of this is I lost 10# and I am completely off caffeine now since it hurts to drink anything but water.
Would I do this again, HELL NO! but hind sight is 20/20
