1 step forward, 3 steps back

*sighs* Well, everythign WAS going ok. I was progressing really well over the weekend and was up and about on Monday. Monday night, however, I threw up multiple times, ripped my stitches out because of it, and was sick from about 4am until 2pm on Tuesday. The nausea meds weren’t working so the doc had to prescribe me super-dooper nausea medication in suppository form (ewww). On top of that, I had to start all over on my diet. I went from baked potatoes, noodles and soups all the way back to 7-up and chicken broth. Clear liquids only, grrr. I’m doing better today, my teeth can finally touch (yay!) so I’m able to eat a few more things like toast and berries that need very little front-tooth chewing. Progress is slow, but I”m getting there. Probably would have been back to work on Thursday had it not been for my illness Monday and Tuesday. Now I’m not allowed back until the doctor sees me Friday afternoon. *sighs*

Getting really tired of being at home, my butt hurts from sitting in the same position in bed since Friday. At least now since the swelling is down I can sleep on my side.

Tonight is Paul and my 3rd year anniversay, what a great way to spend it! Guess we’ll have to go out to a nice dinner over the weekend or next week for my brithday. Obviously can’t eat any of my favorites yet. Bummer.

More later…ec
