throat update

yesterday evening, i was finally able to drink and swallow with less trouble than before. i proceeded to devour three pudding snacks and a semi-melted sherbert pop, as well as most of a quart of water. muuuuuuch better.

today i am still doing okay -- i've been taking little tiny sips of water all morning and as soon as i finish my antibiotics, i'll go take a shower because i'm kind of skanky.

protein!

i seem to be tolerating lukewarm chicken broth, so i'm getting some protein, finally.
