I Lied!

I am not sure if I was under the influence of anesthesia or what....but I am in PAIN! I have a constant sore throat, my ears hurt, my neck and shoulders hurt from trying to get comfortable. Every swallow (or attempted) hurts! I do have a reprieve for about an hour after I take the pain meds. It allows me not to just sit and hurt. It doesn't allow me to swallow any easier though. I have been trying to force myself to drink but it is more comfortable not to. I know, I know it will help in the long run! Hopefully this is the "worse before it gets better" part. We'll see.......
