Big fat crybaby!

Yes, I've been a crybaby the past few days. Yes, I had surgery. Yes, I'm on an insane amount of meds right now. Yes, I have very good reasons to be crying my eyes periodically. But, that doesn't mean I want to be crying. I made the mistake of looking inside my throat/mouth this morning. If the scabs and scars from a tonsillectomy aren't the grossest looking things ever, I don't want to see what's worse. This is only day 4 since the surgery. I thought I was having trouble keeping up with my days of the week. Now I have no idea what day it is unless I look at my medicine chart. Thank goodness Daddy and Mama labeled everything for me. P took off today to help take care of me. Starting tomorrow, though, I'm on my own. I guess this is forcing me to relax and not feel the need to be going and doing nonstop. It's also making me feel an insane amount of cabin fever. I'm sure next week will be even worse. The strangest part of this entire episode I think is trying to chew gum. The doctor said for me to chew Super Bubble (the pink stuff) to get my muscles back in working order. There are more muscles involved in chewing gum than I could have guessed. I'd say there are roughly 4,398 muscles that you use when you chew gum. As of now, about 7 of those muscles are working on me. I know I'm losing weight already because my wedding rings aren't fitting like they used to. I'm wearing them on my middle finger today. The pain meds make me so dizzy that looking from the screen to the keyboard on my laptop is almost too much to handle. I think that means it's time for yet another nap!
