5/27 - it's been a week!!

i can't believe it's been a week since my surgery. i've come a long way. i know i still have a long road ahead of me. but damn, i've come a long way. i am taking my pills easily. my swelling has gone down a lot. i'm talking better. i'm sleeping better. all in all i think i am doing better than i thought i would be doing. so yay!

i even had coffee this morning!! right from the ketchup bottle and thinner tubing top. it was yummy. haven't had any coffee since before the surgery.

great news... today is last day i have to take those steroid pills!

today mom made carrots. it was so yummy. the only problem is that we have been having trouble with the two big syringes. i had a little accident with the carrots. oops. 

for dinner i had roasted chicken and vegetable soup. threw it in the blender and it was great.

i decided to read one of the cool animal fact cards aloud and film myself. i will do it again next monday so i can see the progress. you can really see how the top lip isn't really working yet.

here's the video. enjoy.
