After the hassle of hospital last weekend, this week has been pretty good. My burned tongue is a lot better, to the point where it isn't a barrier to eating. My throat is sore and varies day to day, but I have managed to eat some meals, albeit too small to take me off the supplements and feed, but the quantity has been gradually increasing so I'm cautiously optimistic that we're on the right track.
I finished the antibiotics yesterday, and am now hoping that the improvements continue and I don't go backwards. Overall my mouth and throat are drying up as they heal, which is as expected, though it does seem to leave me coughing a lot more (though not coughing much up, just coughing - I can feel how dry my throat is and I think that's the cause).
So yesterday I ate lunch of potatoes, carrots and a (very) little bit of sausage - the portion was probably smaller than Daniel's, but it's a start. And then an inch square of lasagne and garlic bread (sans crusts) for dinner.
Having worked most of the week (mainly from home, but a few hours in the office!) I'm a little worn out, but not overly so.
I'm crossing my fingers that the general direction remains the same in the coming week.
