kjpepperDone with antibiotics as of today! Two less pills to worry about, happy dance.
Swelling is progessing down my legs centimeter by annoying centimeter. My feet and ankles are still all puffy and don't bend all that well, but it's mostly ignorable... or more has to be if I wanna walk places. Totally getting one of them thar girly mani-pedis once I can see bone in my feet again.
Cough mostly gone, and it no longer hurts to yawn or take deep breaths anymore. That and I no longer get totally winded climbing stairs. That's dance worthy.
VOICE IS FINALLY RETURNING. Thank the fucking gods. I still can't project worth shit, but I at least sound fairly normal at speaking volume. And even better I've got at least my lower range back, so I can at least sing Macy Gray again, lol. Good place to start - she always sounds like that. But yeah... remind me to never underestimate how comforting it is to just be able to sing along to whatever I'm listening to. Hell, maybe I can actually play Rock Band 2 this weekend.
Appetite is good, and as far as I can tell, the digestive process is functioning nicely. Still perfectly content to not be eating crap food and going to do my best to keep that up.
Raw bit under my nose still looks fairly nasty, but is on the mend.
belly scar is... interesting. Not bad interesting because it's clearly healing well, just interesting in terms of there's this fascinating complex biological process happening where I can see it. Now that I've pretty much lost any sense of the woogies regarding it, I must say I've been fascinated by its progress, in all its weird peely granulated glory. Parts of it you can't even see the seam already, and other parts are gonna take a long while to knit up and join completely. Pretty cool, in a sorta gross kinda way - I kinda feel like that moment in the Addams Family movie where Uncle Fester, Pugsley and Wednesday are gleefully exclaiming over the big book about scabs.
Status: recovering well.
Annnd back to work. :D
