I survived my tonsilectomy!
this is my second evening at home... until yesterday evening, i'd been staying with my parents since last wednesday when i had my tonsils and adenoids removed. from what i can tell, i was lucky... the recovery was rough, but it could have been much worse. it's day 10 now and i've been eating real foods for most of this week (in small quantities and very, very slowly, lol)... lost about ten pounds that i'm hoping to keep off... and i'm off all drugs but OTC tylenol (thank goodness.... the hydrocodone was an experience)
only weird thing is that even though i'm eating all normal foods... two of my big binge foods don't taste right anymore (they say it's a side effect of the medicine...?) but call me crazy - soda and chocolate taste more like metal. weird, huh?
oh well... just had to post something... I still have a week of doing nothing according to my dr's orders... looking to get back on the wagon with my new-found loss and keep on rolling!
