Home is where my bed is

DAY 02

JUNE 13, 2014

last night was pretty rough; I couldn't sleep all  that well due to the discomfort. I, of course was woken every chance i got to slip into slumber by nurses that took my vitals. The swelling has gotten so bad it feels like my nose and cheeks have pieces of lead hanging off them, but the discomfort in my throat has gone down quite a bit. I was able to swallow the thick viscous liquid ibuprofen with ease
I am also able to drink snapple, which my aunt was oh so gracious enough to send bottles of during her visit.
but of course I need more than snapple to fuel my healing, and my mom pushes me to drink more

on a happier note,

THE DOCTOR HAS CLEARED ME TO GO HOME

discharge felt like hours but after a while I was in the comfort of my own car, safely homebound. It was here in this car that I had come to the realization of how cold I was. I was cold all the time, no matter how many blankets I had, which is why I spent as much time in the hot shower as I could.

Anyways it was here in this car that I took the best nap of my life, and after the hour long commute home, I drank hot homemade soup which was the best thing id eaten since the surgery. 

breathing is all the more difficult as the swelling rises, and it really bothers me that I cant do much about it but tonight, my father is going out to get a humidifier which will hopefully help that out.

Everyone is being really supportive which makes things a lot better. I find that i feel a lot better having family around and people around me; it distracts me from the discomfort and pain and makes me feel normal.

now I'm going to have another hot shower in hopes of clearing my sinuses and then maybe I'll watch some grey's anatomy.
