Thursday will be the one week mark since having my jaw wired. My medication is a form of liquid vicodin and tylenol which I’m supposed to take 3 syringes of every four hours. I’m trying to wean myself off by not getting up in the middle of the night to take the doses. But, when I wake up in the morning and take the dose along with the antibiotic, I’m certain to crash for a few more hours. Pretty much everytime I take a dose I’m ready for sleepy time within half an hour.
I did get to talk to a couple friends on Sunday. Thankfully, they were able to decipher what the hell I was mumbling about. And it was really nice to know that they weren’s going to let my inabilty to converse get in the way of something so normal. I felt human again.
We went to Schnuck’s yesterday to stock up on soups, ice cream, fruit, yogurt and everything to make smoothies. Nothing like being in a candy store when you’re a diabetic, right? I made chicken and noodles which Rob tells me is pretty good but I’m not quite ready to try and blend that. The dentist told us that he’s never suprised at what people will blend: pizza, hot dogs, lasagna etc… I really haven’t reached that point yet though.
mumble, mumble
