Day 5

Aug 10, 2015

Sorry I haven't updated in a few days. It's mostly been more of the same; a lot of resting, drinking, and whining about how I want to eat solid food (cravings have included, mashed potatoes, pizza, and tuna salad). 

I actually feel the best I've felt this whole time. I was able to cough this morning without significant pain (although sneezing still sucks) and I even did some light housework (just straightening up the kitchen--nothing bad, just a lot of puttering back and forth). I'm currently laid up on the couch watching Netflix and snuggling with my cat. Today is a good day--it's really nice to have the house to myself. I love my husband, but he's been a little overbearing the past few days--he wants to make sure I don't do anything I can't handle, which to him is ANYTHING. It's nice to have a little bit of autonomy.

I was even able to take a quick sponge bath, which helped make me feel a bit more human. Protip: If you don't have a handheld showerhead, I would recommend you get one--it makes washing a hell of a lot easier. ALSO, I would recommend that anyone who has trouble sleeping on their back go to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and purchase a foam wedge pillow. I was having such a had time sleeping until we purchased Mr. Wedge, and now, I can't imagine going through this without it. It's so much easier to get up and out of bed, as well as reposition myself in the night. 

Other than that, it's mostly a lot of the same old, same old. I'm so, so happy I did this for myself. I can't wait to go to the doctor tomorrow and see what he says--I'm hoping he'll bump me up to the next stage in the diet.
