Hey there!
It is day 2 after my tonsillectomy and it has been the worst so far. I have been super grumpy because I didn't sleep well. I kept waking up to a very dry mouth and throat every hour or so. I decided not to stay in bed since I couldn't sleep. So, there I was watching tv, sucking on popsicles and drinking ice water at 4am. Thank goodness we have extra channels like Discovery and TLC because Finnish channels don't show anything at that hour.
Well, I eventually fell asleep on the couch and woke up somewhere around 11am. Scott was a darling and made me a chocolate shake with protein powder and ice for lunch. It was yummy and I was able to drink it without any trouble. My belly was really happy about the protein and I didn't have to listen to it rumbling all day (*smile*). Maybe tomorrow I will ask for a chocolate-banana protein shake...
Even though I have been able to eat surprisingly well, the lack of good sleep is taking a toll on me. I look like I'm really sick. So, most of the day I have been just resting. Reading magazines and watching tv. I did go for a really short and slow walk around 2pm because my back was starting to hurt. My body just doesn't like being still for really long.
By the way... I can't wait to be better. The magazines that I have been reading have so many delicious looking recipes that I want to try them out soon. I have been pretty much drooling on all the pages (*giggle*).
Since there is no point for me to cook right now, I had baby food for dinner again. It is the best thing ever for recovering from tonsillectomy. Small amounts, no spices and meat is grounded into a mush that is easy to swallow. I just add a pinch of salt and warm it up a bit. My belly is happy once again. Oh, what was my tonight's flavor? Potatoes and Karelian stew with vegetables.
What's my day. What did you do?
