Day 4

Day 4

Today for the most part was a really easy-going day. Appetite wise, I didn't have much of one, and only ate about 500 calories worth of food

• apple juice
• chocolate boost
• carnation breakfast
• fruit smoothie

Moving around was a bit difficult for me because whenever I got up, I would get a little light headed, and would have to walk around as slow as possible. Most of the day, I slept and the only time I would be awake was when I took my medications, to go to the bathroom, or to eat.

 Lynda, my neighbor, came over to visit and check up on me. She was really surprised to see what I looked like, and like my parents, had some difficulty understanding me.


My sister Nikki, who lives in Black River Falls, WI, sent over an order of flowers to help me feel better :)
Yay for orange flowers!
She knows me too well :)









Aside from sleeping most of the day, Dave came over to visit me around 8 at night :) Its always so nice to see him, and he has been giving nothing but compliments on my progress. We watched the newest episode of The Walking Dead and he let me use him as a pillow (as always) to help me feel comfortable.

When it came to going to sleep at night, it was a little difficult for me to get comfortable in the recliner. I'm so happy to have the support from my parents through all this. My mom and I are having a bit of a slumber party to make sure that I'm feeling well and can be helped whenever needed.

Here's what today looks like with swelling.

  Pain for today was at a 4.
I'm feeling like this is what I'm going to expect with my pain every day. Or at least around this range.
