A Life Less Ordinary

Right, so my throat still hurts, my back and neck are killing me, my head is throbbing, and what goes and happens? I run out of meds. With no refill. So that means all I can take is Tylenol. Which actually seems to help a little. Not as much as the hydrocodone did, but it…

Well, I’ve checked the back of my throat and I’m seeing less white and more pink, which means the scabs are coming off! Woo-hoo! That’s the good news. The bad news is that so far, tonight has been hell. I just took more meds about ten minutes ago and they’ve kicked in, so I feel…

Ouch. My neck is killing me. Not my throat (well, not right now anyway. That pain will come later as the meds start to wear off), my neck. Why is it I can’t sleep normally anymore? Did my tonsils work to balance the way my head was positioned on my pillow? I expect my throat…

I called the ENT and they told me that the reason it hurts more is because I’m entering the ‘worst part of the procedure.’ Huh? How come nobody told me this before? I guess what’s happening is that the scabs are falling off. I really should try to get a picture of the scabs for…

I was disturbed, this morning, to find out that I only have a few doses of hydrocodone left. While the swill does little to actually kill the pain in my throat, it certainly takes a semi-successful stab at numbing the pain. At least I am able to find a short respite once every four hours.…

That word just about describes how I feel today. But you can’t say it fast, you have to sort of drag it out a bit, you know, make it sound gross. Ooblah. Yuck. I’m not sure why I feel the way I do. I’ve been drinking water all day. I thought it might be due…

Wow, I feel a lot better today. I think the swelling has started to go down. My neck still hurts, but I was able to sleep on my back again last night. I tried to see if I could last all night without the hydrocodone, but I woke up around 3a and decided that I…

Argle bargle. I feel so crappy. My throat hurts a lot. So does my neck because I have to sleep sitting up. I have to sleep sitting up because I can’t lie on my back and breath out of my nose at the same time. I can breath in and out of my mouth, and…

Wow. Two interesting things happened today and they both had to do with girls. First, and most importantly, Morah broke up with Bob. Which means she’s single. Which means the girl I’ve fallen in love with and who has fallen in love with me over the past few months is available. I can finally go…

So I got my tonsils out yesterday. Boy, was that ever interesting. It was terrible! The woman who was inserting the IV tried my left hand twice and failed both times (on account of my tough skin and the fact that I was nervous). It hurt a lot which didn’t help at all. She got…
