The only blueness allowed is on those lovely cheeks, haha.<br /><br />Everything will feel like a struggle, and just a bit harder than you think it should.... push through it...this time next week you'll already be blocking alot of it out. Drinking will be easier, the sore throat will be WAY better... <br /><br />Oh my goodnes YES those liquid meds SUCK! At first I was all "oh, what pleasant childhood nastalgia!" which quickly turned into a battle of wills: Hubby coming at me with the syringe and me hollering "NO! You can't MAKE me!" (though to be honest, probably not so much holler and a lot more mumble/gargle/sputter/hack).<br /><br />So good to hear the hospital experience was smooth and well-organized! Definitely a good bonus, right there. And Motrin controlled? Sweet! Really is awkward to explain the pain vs overall discomfort feeling, no? And no puking? AWESOME!!<br /><br />Hope the hip isn't giving you too much grief. Are the meds able to help with that? Did you find out where they put that graft?<br /><br />You're doing awesome, Steph! Hang in there through the next few days while the swelling does it's craziness. So cool as it starts to receed and you're introduced to the new bone structure beneath~ so cool :)<br />*xoxo*Katherine (Kate)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01197376634270850417noreply@blogger.com
