11 Days After My Surgery

Hello!

I think this will be my last "after the surgery" post. My throat is almost all healed, only slight pain remains but it is not bad at all. I don't even need pain killers any more. Worst part is actually yawning because that stretches the muscles in my throat and it hurts. All in all tonsillectomy wasn't that bad for me. 

Here's my recovery time in numbers:

-10 days of pain that needed medication

-9 popsicles

-2 liters of ice cream

-about 50 ice cubes

-30 liters of ice water (*doctors recommend 3 liters/day, and I'm positive that I drank that*)

-1 darling husband to bring water at all times

-1 bottle of honey

-1 really bad movie (*Twilight Breaking dawn, part 2*)

-2 ok movies (*That's my boy and Project X*)

-2 great movies (*Argo and Madagascar 3*)

-season 2 of Drop dead diva

-2 pairs of mittens that I knitted

-2 hats that I knitted

-1 voodoo doll that I made

-10 magazines

-3 manicures

-2 weeks of no exercise (*or sauna*)

-1 cute dog to cuddle with me

I hope my posts past 11 days can be helpful to others who are searching information about tonsillectomy. If there is anyone who has any questions about the surgery, I'm glad to answer any of them. Just e-mail me and I'll help the best that I can. 

Anyway... Today has been kinda quiet day for me. Just chilling at home, knitting, watching tv and taking Jinx for a walk. For dinner I was craving spaghetti and mushy peas. I know it is a bit weird combination but that's what I felt like eating, so that's what I made then. I also had country style bread with lots of butter.

I'm excited for tonight because I can actually watch The Oscars. I usually don't get to watch them because they are shown here middle of the night due to the time difference. Since I don't have to go to work tomorrow (*I'm still on a sick leave*), I can stay up as late as I want. Too bad I probably will fall asleep as soon as The Oscars start because I'm used going to bed early (*giggle*).

Have a nice night!
