Day 6 things learned

Checking in because it makes me feel better. Here are things I learned days 5/6.

Sneezing is freaking scary shit! But I didn’t die so there’s a win.

I can stop a scary yawn by clenching my teeth.

Pureed Progresso split pea and ham soup is very satisfying.

Tap water is now better than ice water.

Mashed baked sweet potato and vanilla ice cream is a quality supper.

Pain is still tolerable with my celebrex and Tylenol. I contacted my doctor today to ask about diet moving forward. Cold or cool smooth/soft foods for the whole 2-3 week recovery here. It still baffles me how different recovery is in different areas of the world.
