10-days post surgery.
Goodbye forever to Thick It! My
advice to anyone thinking about surgery, buy the smaller size. I got to the point where looking at the
container made me gag.
I still cut up pills in half or quarter them. I am on my last day of a 10-day round of two
different antibiotics. The bad part is
the “nasty” Thick It was horrible and I could not drink plain water, so I use
applesauce to get the pills down.
I am not an applesauce connoisseur, but I can tell you that
after I used up the Seneca 100% Natural one, my sweet husband bought some Mott’s. After using it to take my pills I thought it
was disgustingly sweet, so after reading the label I discovered that it
contained high fructose corn syrup, which was listed second after apples. I don’t understand, does applesauce really
need this extra sugar? Well, jar will be visiting the garbage soon.
My voice is so much better.
Yesterday I went to church and several people commented that I sounded
good, though I was soft. It is easy to
get worn out at this point, it feels so good to talk, and so I do. It doesn’t take much to realize that my voice
is wiped out and I am exhausted.
I am able to eat just about everything now, though I long to
have big gulps of water! What can I
say? I’m a water drinker. I can now drink little sips through a straw
but not enough to quench my thirst or just feel like I am getting enough
fluids.
I am still very excited about my progress and having had
this surgery. I see Dr. Damrose for my
post op appointment on Thursday.
