Tonsils Day 4

I guess this is the beginning of Day 4.

My throat is starting to hurt more. Up until now it has only felt sore. Today for the first time I swallowed and it felt a little like razor blades. I've been expecting this. And I think it will probably get worse. There's a ton of mucus/scabbing at the back of my throat that I can't cough out and can't swallow. It just kind of sits there. And everytime I swallow water I feel it kind of shifting around, occassionally it makes me gag a little. It is so gross. It also makes it hard to sleep. Not that I've really been sleeping at all.

Last night/yesterday I took a couple of half-hour naps.

I'm starting to run low on my tylenol/codeine mix which worries me a little, but I haven't had to resort to my super pain med hydrocodone yet.

Also there's a constant bitter nasty-tasting film on my tongue that won't go away and I taste it all day and especially anytime I swallow.

Still staying hydrated, still on top of the pain meds, still trying to eat a bit everytime I have to medicate.

Am actually getting a bit of work done, reorganizing my hard drive and stuff. Wheeee.
