Day 11- holy sh*t.. pun intended

26f T/A 4/22

You don’t need the full picture. Just know the title means that part two of my number two saga completed today and it was awful. But god my anxiety is almost completely gone but I do need a poop knife for the toilet (if you need context, pm me but I’m sure you get the idea). I didn’t even have time to call and get mag citrate it all happened so fast but I’m so glad it’s done.

I slept all day again today.. I’m really disappointed with myself and the mental side of this surgery is definitely catching up to me. However, I know this “flu-like symptom” thing signals the last leg of recovery- thank goodness. I will blame my husband a little that my sleep schedule might be a little screwy since he returned to work and his work schedule is a little screwy.

As for pain, it’s almost completely just head and ear pain and some muscle pain and chills- it feels just like I have the flu until I take meds and then 30 minutes later I’m totally fine. Is anyone or has anyone experience this during their recovery?

As for food- I ate a two cheeseburger meal from McDonald’s and damn was that some good eatin’. I’m trying to test the waters to see what I can and can’t eat prior to the potluck I’m attending on Friday. I do taste a little blood in my mouth, but nothing major (I’m finishing my fries as I’m typing this). I think (I hope) the only thing off limits now are chips and chip-like foods.

Thank you again for your support of me and those around you! You guys are awesome
