post surgery day 2

its 7:54am. i woke up about 10 min ago. i slept on the couch so i could sleep with my head elevated.

sidebar: for various positioning reasons its been hard for me to type and i'm either typing at a weird angle, stretching to reach the keyboard, or typing with one hand as i've been on the couch since i got home yesterday. its been comfy but forgive my awful typing whether it be on here or ims. especially ims since i don't have the time or effort to keep correcting my spelling.

anyway i took a pain killer before bed. i haven't had any bad pain since i woke up from my nap yesterday which is awesome. and then i took a tylenol that time and sat up. i got a little pain with the feta but thats because some pieces weren't mushy enough and i had to work on them with my tongue and ended up doing a chewing motion even though there was no food in my back teeth.

thats another thing. i feel like there's who knows what in my mouth. i haven't been able to brush or rinse and i feel little things on my teeth that i wanna pick out but they told me not to go poking around with my tongue. i can feel my stitches. so i just have to let it be. i'm taking penicillin 4 times a day so that should hold back the infections till i'm finally able to rinse. i dare not brush though. that would be awful and painful.

anyway i'm feeling good now. i went to bed last night at 2am nice and tired. i propped myself on the couch. i'm normally a big tosser and turner. i've been hot since i came home last night. i've been needing it cold in here. but i think its because the leather couch gets hot. when i get up to pee i'm freezing. last night i slept with no covers and its 69 degrees in here. my top half feels cold to the touch but the warmth of my back half makes up for it and regulates my temp. today i'm not craving real food as much today so far which is so cool. 3 days is enough time to reprogram my body. so hopefully after this i get used to eating smaller (very small, pudding cup size portions) throughout the day. my body definitely feels better. :) maybe i can reprogram myself to stop sucking my finger and curling my hair. my biggest vice. i've been doing it since i was a kid.

today ed is back to work today. so i'm on my own. i should be ok though. however i'll have to actually get up from the couch today. lol.
