New Morning Routine

[sakon76]

Get up. Go to the bathroom and spit, rinse, and gingerly use the toothbrush to clean out as much of the overnight mucus and seepage as possible. "Gingerly" on the toothbrush because the bedtime painkillers have worn off and your mouth doesn't want to open very wide.

Put on bathrobe and slippers. Grab empty water glass, tube of chapstick, and melted but fortunately not leaking ice pack off the dresser, and sneak out to the kitchen, letting Wonderful Husband lie sleeping.

Refill glass of water. Locate spoon and fish container of yogurt out of fridge. Retreat to office and read e-mail and blogs while consuming yogurt so that you can take painkiller after some food is in your stomach.

Let cat (Sushi) maul your right thigh through the bathrobe with his clawful kneading. Eventually he will give up on it and play the part of a lapwarmer.

Ponder breakfast, and then another round of rinsing your mouth with brine (bleagh).

Take over world.

*sympathy*

Thankfully the horrible briny pain stage doesn't last too long.
You can take paracetamol and ibuprofen at the same time, and overlap them so as the effect of one is wearing off you're in the middle of the other's "every N hours" period; I found this knowledge invaluable...

They gave me hydrocodone tablets (500mg) and ibuprofen (800 mg) to overlap as needed. Since I don't like the idea of being on narcotics (though in practice I can't tell any difference between the two), I've just been sticking with the ibuprofen after the first day; it seems to work fairly well.

And today I'm back on non-soup foods! Hooray! And doing gardening, which is good since my poor neglected side yard hasn't been touched in a month.

And playing a little Minecraft. Cake update!

Hope you are totally recovered soon!
