And at midnight it finally clued in there will be a complete lack of solid food for about two weeks. My hunger also kicked in at that moment of clarity that, for the next three days, I will really only be drinking liquids. I will try to force myself to take down some good veggie and fruit juices. I'm more or less hoping that my throat will heal as quickly as my mouth tends to do when I accidentally take a chomp at my cheek.
An epiphany occurred to me earlier in the day that it would be a good idea to buy one of those little spray bottles to use to gently mist my mouth. Granted I will still choke down whatever I have around me to drink, but during the times where I have had enough, I'll mist my throat. I seriously doubt I will be opening my mouth much more than necessary.
I brushed my teeth for what feels like will be a very long wait before I can garner the courage to do so again. I'll miss that calming feeling of brushing my teeth >.>
Genesis sits in my lap, she probably knows I'm worked up. OH, for anyone who doesn't know, go visit Genesis' blog. I will update it one day, I promise!
I will be logging my weight.
Currently, I'm 105 (which has been an undertaking in itself over the last several years. I am not happy about the reality of having to lose weight at all considering how long it's taken me to put the weight ON!)
We arrive at the hospital at 6:30am (my time), Greg's is at 8:30am. I'm already turning into crankybitch-9000.
Tell Mom to get you some Ensure or some high protein drinks of that sort.
ReplyDeleteYou will both do fine! HUGS

I'll have mom get me the CVS ensure since it doesn't have any milk :3
ReplyDeleteWe're off! *hugs*
Hope you two make it through okay! Is Greg going to be off work for a week or so then?
ReplyDeleteAlso, we watched How to Train Your Dragon, and Nikki kept saying how much Toothless reminded her of Squeaky.
