I Survived!!!

Hello again! I'm once again back amongst the living! I had my tonsils taken out on Feb. 17th and let me just say...I'd rather give birth than go thru the pain of the last 2 weeks! They said it would be a "rough recovery" for about a week to 10 days and they weren't kidding! "Rough recovery" is quite an understatement! 2 weeks and 1 day later, I still have a sore throat, but I've been off the percocet for 2 days now. I'm also able to eat real, soft foods now, ie. pasta, refried beans, baked potatoes, etc... no more jello, pudding, yogurt and slim fast shakes! Needless to say, I should have a big advantage in our family's next weigh in for our Biggest Loser competition, I lost 7 lbs. during the last 2 weeks. I guess that is my silver lining!
