I haven't been updating as often, but that's a good thing! I'm doing great on day 16(?).
The last few days I only have a mild constant headache and sore throat (though today I have been headache and sore throat free).
Today I made myself chicken, potatoes and carrots for lunch. Solid meat, dark meat especially, was wonderful. Slightly crunchy potatoes were delicious :) And now some ramen.
Tonight, we cook more chicken. And green beans. And more potatoes.
Greg is still sick, but he's not as bad as the other day. Seems a cold is going around and because of his immune system being comp'd from the surgery he managed to catch it. I'm taking vitamin C chewables our friend brought over.
I'm pretty much off the percocet, still weening myself to very small doses once a day. I'm sure in another few days I will be off it completely, thank goodness.
Tonsils are still foamy and healing but there's no pain, no itchiness, no discomfort at all today, not even in my ears. I feel much much better. There are still scabs and the "death breath" will haunt me for a few weeks more. But after that I should be done with all of that!
I also want to say that I will continue to keep up with this blog well after the 6 week mark when the bad breath is suppose to go away. I want to see whether it disappears entirely, and make certain I don't have any regrowth of tonsil tissue. All I know, is that today, with no pain or anything, I feel amazing (aside from general fatigue) and so far feel the last two and some weeks have been absolutely worth it.
