Some things i learned from tonsil surgery...

Lessons learned:

* I love food. 

I never realized how much food made me happy.

I love drinking pop. juice basically anything but 

hot water which is all i have been drinking these past few days

I love chips and salsa and crackers and apparently everything hard

I thought i liked soup

until day five

i learned i will cry after a certain amount of days of horrible food

* I love the support system i have around me. 

For listening to me whine. complain. cry and get out of bed ten times a night

For rushing home from work when i spit up some blood and didn't know what to do

For bringing me drugs. popsicles. italian freezes. chocolate shakes and anything soft to eat

For eating soup with me for a week because i cried that other people were able to eat real food

*This surgery was no joke

i have had my fair share of surgeries

(wisdom teeth. two ACL surgeries and two ear surgeries)

nothing came close to this pain

the first few days are great because you are in drug land

but Bobbi is afraid of constipation so she tries to be hardcore

and doesn't take drugs

insert crazy amount of pain here

i woke up three nights in a row crying because the pain was so bad

i felt like they hit my jaw with a hammer and punched my ear drum while taking out my tonsils

*Google is good and evil

After this surgery i was comforted by the MILLIONS of forums 

it was nice to know what other tricks people used and what they were able to eat

and how each one of their days were progressing

it gave me hope 

that the next day would get better

until the internet did what it does to most people

it made me paranoid

i began thinking something was wrong because my mouth didn't look like the pictures

and i wasn't progressing like others

my boyfriend cut me off from google

haha


*Nothing lasts forever
at times you wonder if you will ever swallow without pain
or eat again
it is nice to know
in about 14 days your life will go through hell
but then you will be back :)

 I am on day 11. 

i had cereal today and that makes me super happy

if i cant eat anything else

i will settle with peanut butter captain crunch :)

So it begins...

Here are some pictures 

of christmas slowly taking over the house:

I just put random christmas things in a bowl
bulbs
bows
pine cones
glitter
and a candle

We tried having the presents under the tree
this only lasted for a few minutes
before the puppy opened her first present

Could my smile be any cheesier?

Ah funny story
i thought the glitter initial were genius
until i got home and realized
crap we have the same first initial

Trying to pose with our puppy
is impossible

Personal update:

I just had tonsil surgery

THEE WORST PAIN OF LIFE

(i haven't had a baby yet so who knows if its actually the worst pain)

i am on day three and i cant wait for day 14 when life is normal again

i miss food and swallowing with out making fists because it hurts so bad

but for now i love lemonade italian ice

Anyone have their tonsil removed?

any tips to make life less painful?
