Ice pop shortage

Weight- 143 lbs. Pain- I'd say 9 at its highest, but right now it's only around a 6.5, thank God. Calories- Around 800, amazingly. There was a point where I didn't think I would top 300. The first thing I ate was half of a mashed banana and it made me cry the pain was so bad. You know, I can actually deal with the sore throat end of the deal, it's just the relentless 3-day long earache that really gets me. Lunch I forced down a small bowl of mashed potato with some butter to make it soft. Hurt like a bitch... took me 45 mins to eat. Afternoon snack with the pills I had one of those organic baby apple & strawberry purees (ironically picked out by my mum) and for supper, I've managed to eat half a massive quiche which is very surprising to me, but I guess the pain went down for about half an hour and I seized an opportunity to wolf down the protein & carbs. My body needs this stuff to heal and I guess I just really want to get better asap. It's awfully tiring being in this much pain and not even being able to stand up for long. Reminds me of how I was in February and that's just plain depressing.

I NEED ICE POPS but all our local shops are like, out, because it's been so damn hot in London over the last few days. In all honesty, I'm glad to have avoided it. In true vampiric style I loathe the heat when I'm in a city and have to walk around with other people looking at me... I hate it all, the clothes, the sweat, the fatigue it gives me, the way it forces you into tiny tops and shorts you'd never wear in your right mind. *Shudders* I can't wait for winter. 

I don't know whether my weight will continue dropping a pound a day but right now it looks to be that way. -6 lbs since surgery and tomorrow marks day 6 post-op. It would be fucking lovely to be back at my nice comfortable 142 weight and know that I'm not going to mess it up by bingeing.

A note to a question I received in an earlier comment (I think. Unless I'm imagining things due to all these marvelous painkillers). My friends visited me a lot at the beginning, but over the past 3 days I have felt too unwell to see anyone besides my mum (and my dad, who visited yesterday). Alfie is getting a little impatient as to why he can't see me but it literally hurts to move right now, for most of the day anyway, and I can't even bloody speak! What would I say to the guy? It's a real pity people aren't made to learn sign language at school. It would be so very useful in circumstances such as these.

  2. I think your weight will keep dropping,don't worry about it. If not,6 lbs in 6 days is still awesome!!

  3. Ice pops must be the most amazingly soothing things for such a sore throat. And earaches are the devil, I used to have one a week when I was younger - we were at the doctor's constantly. I'm so sorry you had to suffer through this. :(

    Also, winter clothes are my favourites. I live in long sleeve shirts, which makes summer really unpleasant, but winter amazing. I hope now that it's mid-September already (how did that happen?!), it's getting cooler, even in London, and you're less uncomfortable.

    Love,
    <3.
