Hey guys. I am better now, and haven't felt a little hurt today. I am not sure if I am now fully recovered or not. It takes actually about 2 weeks to recover and I was just ending the second on Tuesday. I will get a check up before that though. On Tuesday also is back to school! I am very excited to be back in school and start out new things.
So for the record, here is a timeline of my week and a half post surgery care.
December 23- Day 1. I woke up really late. My throat was so dry. I didn't eat anything except puddings that day, and spent the day on my laptop.
December 24- I let myself eat mash potatoes. Not lots. Popsicles and ice chips were also served. I think that was too early for Day 2. It didn't hurt, but I was sick of eating cold foods and water!
December 25- Day 3, I started eating mac and cheese. I am a law-abiding person, but I think I broke a rule by this one. But it didn't hurt.
December 26- Day 4 I can see a lot of white scabs in the spot where my tonsils use to be. The area that surround my uvula seemed to be infected and I wanted to go to the doctor. But I didn't. I presumed it was normal just to calm myself.
December 27- Day 5...uhmmm...I had a grand meal of fried rice with veggies and those soft meats. I don't know what they are so don't ask me. My throat hurt a little after home, and my ear also began to hurt.
December 28- My ear hurt more! I suppose it was just part of the recovery process though. I ignored it. This day I began to eat ice cream--that I didn't eat on the first 5 days of surgery.
December 29- That morning, I had a soft film on my mouth that usually forms when you eat dairy after tonsillectomy. There were also some black spots on my scabs. I swallowed harder and harder but I couldn't get off of it. It's already gone now. More ear pains.
December 30- Wednesday. Oh, God! I had the biggest meal ever. I ate a whole plate of beef and broccoli, fried rice with it, 2 siomais, 1 buchi, jellyfish salad, and I forgot I ate a fortune cookie! Gosh, I was awfully full! I didn't realize that. But when I went home, I had 124 pounds. Still.
December 31- Yesterday. Of course, we had media noche (midnight meal) so there were a lot of food to be eaten. We had spaghetti, bread pudding, egg rolls, fried rice, fruit salad, and buchis.
We stayed at home as we were expecting some snowstorm which didn't came. We had a nice New Years eve though.
HAPPY 2010!
Today, feeling much better. I feel like there's no more pain. I can swallow normally, no ear pains when drinking, and everything's so normal. But still expecting some changes to that.
It's like I had a really fast recovery! Let me finish the whole box of ice cream I bought. Oh, I have some more popsicles, do you want some?
