Hospital Stay

When I got home, after 3 days of not being able to shower, it felt good to un-wrap the bandage on my neck and wash my hair.  Though the compression bandages are supposed to stay on through the weekend, I have to say they are rather itchy.


Food is boring now!  The apple juice the hospital dining room sent was pre-thickened and I had a choice of creamed carrot, creamed chicken and creamed tomato soup.  At home I had “Naked Green Machine Smoothie” which was just the right consistency.  I tried some canned chicken noodle soup but I could not swallow the noodles, even though I dumped out all the broth because I did not want to use the Thick-It stuff.


 
Certainly not a favorite picture (below) but this is just out of surgery, in recovery.  I have no idea why I am smiling- could be the drugs.
