I'll rate my pain from level 1 (best) to 10 (worst). Currently I'm riding between 2 and 2.5, it's just the swelling that is a bit of a problem right at the moment and, I have another hour before my next dose of liquid percocet. I think this time I will up the dose to 1.5. They said for me to take 2 doses but it wasn't getting sore, and wasn't swelling. Depending on how I feel, I may kick it back to 1.5 doses every 3.5 hours, rather than 4.
I've been napping for the last hour and a half(?) off and on for thirty minutes at a time. Then, I wake up, drink some juice or beef broth, water, stretch my jaw and neck and go back to sleep for another twenty to thirty. I keep a pack of ice beneath my throat though it doesn't seem to be keeping the swelling down as much as I'd like. I mean, yeah, I DID just have organs removed so swelling and a little (for now) discomfort is to be expected. I don't want to think how I will be feeling two days away...
Another issue is I have some crud caught in my larynx that is really aggravating. I am constantly trying to clear it out because it tickles >:C Plus I have this one tiny spot in my nose that keeps stinging (dried out or something stupid). Oh, and my hand hurts where the needle went in for the IV.
Greg is sleeping.
And a note about this whole ordeal: If you're doin' it right, you're going to be peeing a lot. Every 20 minutes to every hour a lot. It all depends on how much you've been drinking your fluids and chewing ice.
Oh yeah, and hiccups SUCK.
