So, it's gradually healing up. I'm able to eat things like scrambled eggs, yogurt, some pastas (I have to cut up the noodles into smaller noodles), soup, and I can eat ice cream again. I couldn't the other week because cold stuff hurt me. It still hurts, just not as much.
I've been drinking Vitamin Waters like crazy, I've been taking vitamin supplements now that I can swallow pills again without too much pain, and I've been trying to eat healthier than I have been. My appetite still sucks. I'm eating three times a day, but the equivalent of my three meals is probably the equivalent of one of yours. That's how bad off my appetite is.
I've lost a total of 14 pounds over the past two weeks, which is extremely unhealthy. The weight that I'm at is pretty close to the minimum that is considered healthy for my height, as far as army standards go.
In addition to everything described above, I still feel weak. If I exert more than the required amount of energy (for example, I tried to dance today just to make my friend giggle) I feel like I have run a marathon.
My fevers have reduced themselves from the 102 range to the 99 range. I still sweat off a fever every night.
Also, I feel like if I had the chance to, I could probably hibernate if I wanted to. I feel like I haven't gotten enough sleep at all. Right now I'm still awake thanks to a little bit of a caffeine shot I had earlier to help me stay awake in class, but pretty soon, I will pass out, and when I wake up, the first thing I'm going to want to do is go back to sleep.
My biggest concern is that there could be scar tissue near my larynx. It feels like that's a really big possibility right now. I might go to the doctor sometime next week if it still feels the way it does to get them to do a scope of my throat and see how well it's healing up.
Other than the few concerns, I'm feeling a lot better than I was at the beginning of my two weeks of hell.
Thanks for your kind words in the process of my healing. :hug2:
