Tonsils out - Day two

So today is Day Two. I couldn't sleep last night at all. I ended up taking a few naps during the day. That helped me quite a bit. I was not as diligent earlier in the day with my water and ended up having some dryness and trouble swallowing. Ugh. Once I got back on the water basically all the time, I have been fine. I could even yell at Reagan when she was so restless.

I can definitely tell when my medication is wearing off. About 3.5 hours, I am looking at the clock because the water doesn't seem to work as well.  I also had a mistake tonight on food. I was holding Maddy on my lap while she ate goldfish and a few fell on her lap. I picked one up and just threw it in my mouth and started chewing. I stopped as soon as I realized I was not allowed to eat crackers. He hee. I spit it out in my hand. Jim said "you can't eat those". Just a habit. Love those goldfish.

I am starting to wonder if my request to not use Hydrocodone because of my concern about my Codine allergy went unheard. I am so stinkin' itchy it is amazing. My face is so flushed I feel like I sat out in the sun too much on a hot summer day. It is bright red. Jim stood in the bathroom with me tonight so I could take a shower (in case I was wobbly) and when the water hit my face, it felt like ice cubes.

When I got out of the shower, he asked me if I had been scratching my back. It looked almost blistered from the amount of scratches. We used a hypoallergenic lotion to see if that would help me any. If I am not better tomorrow, I am calling the doctor. I am 15 minutes away from my evening dose and my throat is starting to hurt a bit. Ick.

I did notice this morning that I have some white scabs forming in the back of my throat. That is good. Healing is starting. :)  I'm also noticing that it doesn't hurt as much on the sides as it does on the top. I'm also a tad challenged to drink straight up water. It feels like it gets caught.

Tomorrow is day three. So far, it really hasn't been too bad. I've been tired and worn out, but in general feel fine.
