Not Out of the Woods Yet

Today is the first day that I'm feeling a little better. Every day before I was feeling worse. Once I came home on Thursday from the ER, I just assumed I'd be better in a day or two. Nope. I actually felt so much worse. I did learn one thing - I am never taking Vicodin again in my life. That stuff messed me up. I itched all over, felt so nauseous and threw-up a few times. My stomach hurts so much from that and all the Motrin I took in-between doses. I pulled out the ear wick today. I couldn't stand it anymore. Four days was pretty good. The last time I had an ear wick it only lasted a few hours before I pulled it out. I think it caused most of my pain and discomfort. I still can't open my mouth. I've been on a soft diet for five days now. I'm hating it. While I'm having applesauce and soup, Charlie brings pizza or McDonald's home and eats it right in front of me. The clinic is not open again until Tuesday since Monday is President's Day. So I'll have to wait until then to be seen again. There's no reason that I should still be sick. I'm looking forward to my appointment with the ENT in a week and I'll let you know how it goes.
