Update

Came through surgery just fine. deepbluemermaid got me home safely and I spent the rest of the day either napping upright on the couch or asleep in bed. Broken sleep, but that's to be expected when on codeine and changing the ice in the pretty halo headband every three hours or so.

Yesterday, I managed to be awake and relatively alert for two hours at the longest. Spent the rest of the day napping in bed. Eventually had longer gaps between using/refilling the pretty ice halo headband as one of the sides leaked noticably more than the other. One less codeine to sleep than Thursday night.

Today I was awake for the morning; up bright and early around 8.00am, even. Read a book (which I am going to have to reread because my concentration is shot), and have been dozing for most of the afternoon. The bits when I am awake I've been watching my way through season four of M*A*S*H.

I've been mostly eating KFC's potato & gravy and (and, not with) scrambled eggs. Definitely don't want to be eating anything more solid yet. The potat & gravy is finished, but there are plenty of eggs left and cans of tomato soup...

That just about does it for being awake, I think.

Very glad to hear you are doing okay at this point and sounds like you are starting to be on the mend, too. Teeeeeeeeeth, urk. *sends medium-distance feel-better vibes!*

Glad to hear it went well. It all gets better from here!

BTW, have you thought of milkshakes? I lived off them for the first couple of days after I had mine out.

Hmmm. Hadn't thought of milkshakes - the weather the last few days hasn't been suggestive of cold foods. I'm getting to the point where I can eat more than just mush, but not anything particularly chewy.
