Well I ain’t gonna lie. I was feeling so well Saturday and even went out (eating carefully of course) that by Sunday morning I was in so much pain. When I took my painkillers in mid-day my pain level was 9. I had tears in my eyes. I was sitting around a 5-6 most of the week until then. Sunday I spent a bit of time resting and trying to not talk (Saturday was more talking, too) and Monday was much of the same. I went from trying to eat Mac & Cheese back to jello, but for some reason now the acidic nature of the jello is burning my sutures, too. Every four hours like clockwork I am taking painkillers and Amoxicillin three times a day. I do not think I damaged anything and there still is no blood (Thank God) but I won’t speculate on anything until after my formerly schedule post-op appointment with my ENT on Tuesday morning at 10AM. I have two separate workshop conferences this weekend on Friday and Saturday where I am currently scheduled to speak 60 minutes for each of them. I also have to return to my full time teaching highschool gig in seven days. Wish me luck.
