Chocolate > Codeine

Thank you so much, everyone, for all the good luck wishes!  They must have worked because I’m actually feeling pretty good!  My last post must have been a bigger distraction than I thought because the pain tapered down to a livable level.  When Adam got home with my prescription I actually turned it down.  I know from experience that the pain will be worse tomorrow, so I’m enjoying my comfort for now.

A few people asked about my foot so I posted pictures at the bottom.  It’s bandaged, but bloody, so don’t scroll all the way down if you are quesy!

The Spanish Spaghetti was mostly for Adam and not a dish I really enjoy (although I will be eating it tomorrow), and I just couldn’t stand the thought of eating it for dinner.  I have some pain, I’m using food as a distraction here!  Thankfully Adam was able to run to the bar downstairs and get me take out.

French fries and a turkey sandwich with 1000 Island dressing.  It hit the spot.

I keep forgetting to order sandwiches without butter though!  When something is on a bun I just eat the middle so it doesn’t usually matter, but when I’m eating the whole thing I need to remember to modify.

I decided to go with dessert instead of drugs.

The Amano company sent me two chocolate bars to sample – Dos Rios and Guayas.

I doled out about 2/5 of each bar but the flavors were pretty intense and I ended up only eating half of what I put on the plate.

I have lots of schoolwork I hope to get done tomorrow so hopefully I’ll be able to fall asleep early tonight.  I hope everyone else’s work week got off to a good start!

What is your opinion on OTC medicines?  Do you take them on a case to case basis, adamantly oppose, or say the more the merrier?!?  I am a full supporter of conventional medicine but I do try to take things only when absolutely necessary.

Below this line is for Edward Cullen types only!  Look at your own risk!

  1. Ugh!! I am so glad you are feeling somewhat better. And if it takes chocolate and fries, so be it. You can eat healthy when you’re foot’s not half cut off 🙂

  2. Oh hey sweet pea! I am just catching up–sorry I missed your foot surgery, but I do hope you are feeling better now! You are a trooper to stick it out with Bloody Marys and chocolate instead of drugs 🙂 I know what I’d pick! I love how your toenails are all prettified though! Of course! xoxo
