March! As my godson likes to say!
The drugs are helping tremendously. I can swallow! (No dirty jokes yet. I'm not prepared for them. Maybe tomorrow.) Seriously, I had no idea how much it would freak me out to not be able to do that until it happened.
My throat is back to semi-normal size and because of the still painfulness of it, even the steroids haven't driven me to stuff my face like whoa. In fact, I lost two pounds since Sunday. And that's on a diet of ice cream, mac and cheese and soup. Yummy. Envy me that!
I'm, of course, starving today. My stomach won't stop growling and I had forgotten how badly the steroids affect hunger pains so it goes from 'yeah, I could eat,' to 'yeah, I could eat you, if I had steak sauce." (Again with the dirty joke warning. Ahem. Some of you were thinking it!)
I'm at work for now. We'll see if I make it the whole day. I'm definitely a space cadet, though, and I was about 10 miles further south on the interstate than my exit when I 'woke up' and realized it. I blame the pain pills for that. Oops? Then, of course, the way I choose to come into the office was blocked in one way by road work, in the other way by a car accident, and I finally had to drive really far around to get here. But I got here!
I'm so far behind. I would weep, except that won't help me catch up. I'm going to go eat brunch now (pancakes should be soft enough, I think???) and then come back and work as much as I can for the remainder of the afternoon. With any luck, I may get semi-caught up.
Maybe. Don't hold your breath.
