on the mend and trying to resume normal life

so, i'm doing a lot better over the last few days. i still don't feel great, but i feel a lot better emotionally. i actually see an end to all of this soon. hopefully my doctor will confirm my feelings when i see him on tuesday for a post-op visit. today i'm gonna try taking only 1 vicodin at a time instead of 2, so we'll see how that goes for me. also, i've noticed that some things taste like absolute crap while other things taste normal. apparently that is a very normal occurance post-op. the general consensus seems to be that you fully regain your normal ability to taste after about a month, so every "new" food experience is an experiment as to how it will taste. finally, i am sick sick sick to death of my ears hurting.

andrew was in town for work on friday, so we got to hang out with him for 2 days. it was really cool to see him. the last time we saw him was earlier this year before shadow was sick, so it was cool to catch up.

today we're going to jay and karsan's house for a BBQ. it will suck because i will not be able to eat everything that everybody else will be eating, but it will be cool to see everybody.

in other news, i wish it would be less hot. i hate hot. hot sucks. bring on the fall/winter! i wish to wear a scarfy soon...
