Hunger
So, the death breath, swelling, and most of the pain have gone away. And now, the only thing left to trouble me is my inability to eat anything.
I have an appointment tomorrow to get my stitches out, so I will find out if they are healing properly (they seem to be).
Like I mentioned, I have been eating chicken broth, instant mashed potatoes, and ice cream. I can only eat a little because my jaw gets tired, so I am constantly starving, because these things are not very filling. Then the combination of starving and not taking my antibiotics resulted in nausea the other day.
I've been having dreams about food, folks. It's all I can think about, I am so hungry! Yesterday I went to class, and all I could smell when walking past the Hauptbahnhof was the Burger King and Subway. When I got home I pleaded with Mike to take me to the grocery store, and I bought refried beans, taco seasoning, ground beef, and tortillas.
So now I am enjoying taco meat and refried beans, and it is the most delicious thing I have ever tasted. I have to chew it with my front teeth, and it still wears my jaw out to eat it. But it is goood. The tortillas are still a little too hard for me.
