So, I am now at that "week from now" point I wrote about last Sunday. I've finished my finals, said my goodbyes, had my tonsils removed and driven home right after the surgery. Thankfully the dosage of drugs I was on made the first two days okay, but I'm trying to wean myself off those narcotics now and it's proving more painful than I thought. Not that I'm addicted, just not being doped up means I feel a much higher level of pain. Probably a 5 on the scale to 10. Endurable.
My uvula is pretty swollen, and that plus the pain meds going down kept me from eating much of anything yesterday. Gahhh, I'm really hungry. I may go back to a fully narcotic dose of meds and then just scarf as much food as I can, but that's probably not the best idea. I'm just gonna have to suck it up.
I'm hoping that this pain getting worse is the scabs falling off and healing quicker than expected. I just really have no clue. I'm not in as bad of pain as many of the stories I've read, but I'm not just fine like other stories I've read. Just resting and hoping for a quick recovery. Luckily, I can talk decently, which is nice for when friends have visited.
I just am ready to be back to normal - also, I want to SING something!
But really, I have nothing to complain about.
Just needed to vent a little bit of frustration.
