Today was better and worse all at the same time!
Better because I felt ABLE to get up and see the kids. I actually attempted to eat. Some things were not too successful...which led to part of my "worst"! But, it was nice to sit with the kids in small doses. It was nice to see my mom and husband OUTSIDE of my bedroom! It was nice when my friend Rachel brought dinner for my family, I was able to go out and talk to her!
It was worse in the respect that I am so exhausted. I am pretty sure it's because I haven't really had much in the way of nutrients. I am getting PLENTY of fluids (10+ cups a day)... but as far as food is concerned, it's so hard. So, without much food, I don't have much strength. So, today, I got dizzy a lot. While I was able to be out with the kiddos, I felt like I HAD to be in the room... I was so light-headed. I attempted to make a smoothie- a fruit smoothie with misc fruits, plus avocado, sweet potatoes, and yogurt... BUT I am pretty sure something somewhere had too much acid, because after only a couple spoonfuls, my throat was on fire. For about an hour all I could do was sit here and whimper! As the day progressed, I was able to eat a bowl of grits and a bowl of chicken noodle soup! I also had 1/2 of a strawberry milkshake for dessert! Wahoo!!
My throat is looking pretty bad. It's a black hole with white & yellow patches all over. I am told those patches are the scabs that should "fall off" at around day 4 or 5... we'll see how that goes! NOT looking forward to that experience! For now, it feels like I have a tiny sponge tickling my tongue constantly! It's the weirdest feeling.... and it hurts...not gonna lie to you, it hurts bad!
So, still looking forward to the day that I don't have to set my timer to go off to give me drugs... the day that I can say, "hmmm, it's not so bad today, I think I'll skip my meds!" BUT, til that day comes, here I am...still in bed... saying OUCH!!
Thanks for checking in! I feel tremendously loved by all the texts, messages, and Facebook posts! I appreciate the food that Rachel Bright delivered to my home today (Fritos, chili, cheese, hot dogs, and buns).... Wish I could eat them; it all smells so good! I am blessed with some really great friends!

Haha! Great minds think alike. I'm taking chili frito pie to a friend who had her baby today. You, my friend, get stuck with tater tot casserole. But I figure the kids will eat it and it's not something that you'll mind missing out on!
