sugerrrrrryyyy
Oh man....So last friday, I had surgery at Long Beach memorial Hospital. I had a tonsilectomy and a septoplasty. What that means is that I had my tonsils taken out and that I had a deviated septum and so they fixed that. But eriously, this has been like the shittiest recovery ever. When I got home to my parents house afterward, I didn't feel that bad. I was able to eat some piza and chill out. They gave me some like liquid tylenol with codine and an antibiotic to take. Saturday, however, things went downhill. I ended up throwing up a bunch of times and hardly eating at all. Will stayed with me every night except last night cause he had 2 finals today. But this week, I pretty much wake up likevery hour caus emy mouth is suuuper dry and it hurts like crazy, or the bloody snot from my nose drips into my throat and i can't breathe cause it's bck there, so I have to spit itup. It is rough....Really Really ROUGH. Tomorrow I have to go back to the doctor to have them take out thse tubes they stitche dinto my nose to hold my septum in place. So I have had bloody and smelly boogers all up in my nose, but luckily I can't really smell them that much. However, my throat is still swollen and my uvula (that thing that hangs down in the back of your throat like a punching bag) is suuuuper swollen and so it like hangs down into my throat and i pretty much gag on it like all the time. So baisically, this has been a rough week. But I did lose like 6 punds cause all I can eat are cinnamon rolls and eggs. I really really miss regular food. But I don't know when my throat is going to stop hurting. Cause it is hard to swallow even water. Oh yes, and I spit into a bucket because the only saliva I am producing is drool like so it sticks to my mouth. So i constanly am sptting out into this old ice cream bucket. And can I tell you how much ice cream I hace!? a freakin lot! My mom bought me rainbow sherbert, Ebony bought me some Ben and Jerry's chocolate fudge brownie chocolate ice cream, and will's mom bought me vanilla. Man, and it hurts to eat ice cream. i think it's the sugar. Who knows. I am, however, going to bring it home with me to long beach so that way I can eat it and enjoy it.

Sugerrrryyyyy

So yesterday...I had surgery. I got my tonsils taken out and i had a deviated septum so they took care of that. However, now i am freakin tore up. I have gauze over my nostrils to catch all of the blood that is leaking out, i have no tonsils but my uvula (that thing hanging down in the back of your throat) is crazy super swollen. I can feel it in my mouth right now, and i can almost swallow it and it makes me gag when i swallow stuff.
I am down in Elsinore for the week so my mom can take care of me. Will is here of course, and my mom's 2 dogs. One of who is like a 2 month old chiuaua and the other is like a year old pomernium mix. They are freakin cute as all hell, but a little rambuxious and sometimes too much to handle.
So far I am doing okay I guess. Sore, obviously, and a little uncmortable. I have to pee like every 20 minutes cause I have been drinking so much water. Interestingly enough, I can eat and drink whatever I want as long as it's comfrotable for me. I am just going to stick with water and soft foods though.
I got about 4-5 hours of sleep last night, but not consecutively. I went to bed around 11ish, and woke up at 12. Again at 1:30. Then at 2, stayed up till 3 watching the rest of little miss sunshine, and then played poker online. Woke up at 5:30 with Will, we went down stairs so I could take some more pain medicine, he had to help walk down the stairs cause my body was so weak. Both my parents woke up and then around 6 my mom made us pancakes and we fell back asleep on the couch with the dogs, which of course was the best sleep I had. It's only been a day and I already over it. Oh well, I just hope it was worth it in the end.
