Day 2: Sleeping Beauties, Good food, Nurse Kitties

(That is a cold pack around my neck, it stays there to keep as much swelling down as possible)

Once I was finally able to get some sleep, I slept alright. Until I woke up after not having enough to drink and felt the burning rage of hell fill my throat, I know that's not the worst since I rated it about 4.5-5 on the scale of 1 to 10. We've both been napping off and on throughout today. I finally had my first hour long nap and it was fantastic! Woke up feeling fine.

Starting to cut my pain meds back to 3-3.5 hours though.

I've also been having coughing fits and hiccups, and those totally suck. The coughing is when I wake up and have a buildup of phlegm- but it feels good to get it out of my chest. I only have this tingly fear I'll cause my scabs to tear and bleed out all over the place. 9_9

Greg has been flushing his sinus'. First time I heard him in the bathroom I thought he was making friends with King John of Porcelain, but what I really heard was the sound of general discomfort of having to blast saline up his nose. Something he'd never experienced before. Currently his nasal cavities are full of clotted blood and all that mess.


Greg's mother has been making delicious food. My current FAVORITE is the entire chicken she cooked in a pot, I got to sip down so much chicken stock I felt in 7th heaven. Not to mention having some applesauce and banana baby food to boot. Lots of vegetable and fruit juice also.

On a final note, we have 4 cats, all of which I treat like family. They are my kids. Two of which have stayed in the bed with us this entire time unless they have needed to potty or eat. They come right back to keep watch over us. Bob and Genesis generally don't get along, but they seem to have come to an agreement that right now is a time to cooperate to make us feel better. They'll switch spots, share time, give me purrs and lay on me. Bob who is probably the mouthiest cat I've ever known has been exceptionally quiet and gentle and has really only made noises of concern for me. Especially if I wake up feeling cruddy. Genesis smashes herself into my chest or finds some way to be as close as possible to my head without touching my neck. Cats really do deserve more appreciation than they tend to get, I can't say how special it is to feel the love they give you.


I weighed myself today: I'm 105.6

This morning I tried yelling to Greg for something, and I was reminded of the Hyperbole & a Half Blog: "Party" . I literally sounded like a retard, "GREEEOORRGHH"
