I love cheez-its - I think it's almost safe to say it's an obsession. And even with my lactose intolerance and my mouth sore I can not pass them up. They bring me happiness with their cheesie goodness. My mouth hurts like you would not believe after I've eaten about 50 handfuls of them, but I am full of the cheesie wonder of cheez-its so in my mind, it's worth it! I love the ones that are slightly burned / brown / overcooked. They are my absolute favorite! It's the mega jackpot when you get a box with a bunch in there. Followed by the ones that are puffy - which you don't get too many of and then I love the ones that are stuck together!
I wish I could better convey my obsession here recently with food, but I don't know quite how to put it. I'm obsessed. I guess it's because I can't really just go out and eat whatever I am craving, that I have to eat softer foods and suffer when I eat harder chewy food.
I still have a week and a half before I hear anything about my biopsy and I'm not looking foward to the wait, but I'm not really looking foward to the appointment either...I don't know what to think.
I've started rinsing my mouth with salt water, which I expected to burn like nothing I had ever experienced, but surprisingly, I can bear it. I guess with all the damage and stuff from the sore and biopsy, I can't really feel anything on that side of my tongue - which is a scary thought. Plus, my taste buds are really screwed up / nonexistent on that side of my tongue now, so the salty taste doesn't gag me or make me want to throw up like it has when I've used salt water in the past.
Today I've felt pretty good. Since Tuesday morning, I've had a really hard time on my meds. I stopped taking the steroids for two days because they made me feel aweful all the time - which was a big mistake. I guess I was having withdrawals coupled with the pain meds, but I took a pill Tuesday morning at 830 and couldn't hold my head up until 300 that afternoon - I was super dizzy and nauseous and I threw up once. Then I took a half a pain pill Tuesday night at 830 to help with the pain so I could sleep, and it was the next afternoon before I wasn't dizzy and nauseous. And I took these pills on a full stomach, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't the hydrocodone's fault. I started taking my steroids again Tuesday afternoon and for the most part have felt better - I still get slightly dizzy from time to time. I'm not taking it 4 times a day like I was before the biopsy - I just couldn't handle it. I couldn't sleep and I couldn't walk up and down the stairs or around the apartment because my knees and ankles were killing me.
I think that's all for an update right now...
