Day 5 was kind of a daze. I slept on and off for most of it. I have been having a really hard time sleeping the last few days & between the lack of sleep & pain meds I was starting to not be able to function. I would sleep for a few hours, wake up get my throat moist again & then take some more meds & go back to sleep.
I feel a lot better after having some good sleep. I got really hungry when I woke & soup and mushy food wasn't cutting it anymore. I wanted FOOD. I ate a few fries but but was like fire going down so I quickly switched over to original chicken noodle soup & rice pudding.
Everything taste like butt though. The scabs are nasty & everything I eat tastes like them. It's probably the hardest part of this whole thing. The taste makes me nauseated & I gag from the taste all the time. Luckily I haven't thrown up or anything like I've read others have.
I think I coughed up a part of a scab this morning. It was super gross and stung a little after. I am not excited about the rest coming off.
The best advice I can give anyone is try and eat as much normal food as possible. I have eat decent meals since I got out of surgery and I think that's why I'm not having the horror stories I've read.
Anyways I just took some more meds and I'm going to try and get some more sleep!! I'm excited to stop taking all these pills, be back to my normal self, and go back to everything being normal.
