That was the biggest challenge, staying hydrated even when it hurt so much. Now that I have drugs in me, outside of a cough and I can talk and swallow.Funny thing, I've never liked the taste of yogurt. But I got sick on the codine in the cough syrup. It would upset my stomach. I was hearing all these gurgling sounds and it was a real mess. But my Physcian's Assistant told me that yogurt was good to quiet your stomach. Well I tried it and I'm amazed at how quickly it settled my stomach. I'm so amazed I'm making yogurt a regular part of my diet. But just to be perfectly clear...yogurt is not now, nor has it ever been a desert replacement for ice cream. So medicine yes, desert no.
I've also noticed that I've lost 13 pounds. Now I wasn't really trying but now that I've done so well I'm going to continue the diet. I'm almost to 20 pounds. I think the only thing is, I haven't been feeling well even prior to the streph so I haven't been eating as much as I was.
Now back to work and onward and upward. It's getting warm enough that I think I can try tennis again. I love playing when it's hot out.
