It was a beautiful Saturday. I ate a delicious soup, homemade by my mother with leftovers she found in my fridge. Yeah, she's amazing. It was the first time since the surgery that I felt like I ate "real food". Yay me! Also....dun dun dun....I went to the Dollar Tree!!!! It wasn't so bad. Sometimes some people take a second look at me but, not really. Besides I kinda had a "who cares?" attitude about it today. It was nice to be able to get some Easter stuff. I also went for a walk in the evening with my HH and BB and it was so refreshing. I love walking around my neighborhood and I've missed it. During lunch today I made my BB a grilled cheese sandwich and ohhh myyy god I was drooling over the smell of toasted bread, butter and melted cheese. I wanted a bite SO BAD! Boooo I may gain 10,000 pounds once I'm able to eat again. Is it bad that I'm mentally planning meals already?
The swelling went down even more. Little by little but thank God it's consistent. When I brush my teeth the stitches on the roof of my mouth (yup one of many, my surgeon cut my upper arch clean through and expanded it about 7mm) tickle my gag reflex and it makes brushing my teeth even harder but I'm hoping that they dissolve soon. Other than that, same old, same old with the recovery for today.
My mom has been an indispensable source of help during the days that she is here. That woman is amazing. She can wash my dishes, clean my bathroom and play with my son seemingly all at the same time. It's really hard to not be the primary caregiver for my son (makes me really sad actually) but I'm grateful that my mom is here to step in. He loves her so much and she loves helping out. I'm blessed. As for my HH, he took a two hour nap today. Much deserved.
