Day 8: Part Two

So after this morning's drama, I'm feeling REALLY great! Also turns out I do not have thrush, according to the office lady at the ENT. She stated that everyone about this time gets the "white mouth syndrome" where the tongue gains an interesting white coat on it. As long as it doesn't start to spread away in flecks all over the rest of my mouth, I'm good to go.

I've been eating all the yogurt my college friend brought me today, and I've even been eating slightly chunky egg drop soup! She made normal EDS for me, but I wanted more egg and I was too hungry to wait and do it right, so I added an egg into the soup, stirred it a bit, cooked it in the microwave, and stirred it up again. I'm loving it! The yogurt is a nice change of pace for sure and feels good and "solid". Chewing the egg in the EDS also helps feel like I'm really eating food.

I've been talking, and the talking feels almost normal. It feels good.

On an odd note of discovery: I've been watching Travel Channel with all the food shows and strangely enough, it's been keeping me sane. I mentally pretend I am enjoying all that good stuff, somehow it works.

Another plus is that I get a refill on my percocet, I am sooo glad. I am about to run out and it seems now that nights are worst for random acts of violence in my throat. I have about two runs left on my current bottle. I don't have to freak out now worrying about having to crush my tramadol for relief. My tramadol is specifically for my dysmenorrhea x_x

The left tonsil hole is fine. The right side is a bit more tender and easily irritated.
