What is normal?
Dr. Li told me to let him know if my throat still hurt on Friday. It’s 50 minutes til Friday and I’m not comfy so I wrote him an email. I mentioned I might be a wussmonster because really, what gives? When he looked in my throat on Monday he said it looked great. I would think he’d have noticed and/or mentioned if it looked inflamed still. Or maybe most people deal with this sore achey uncomfortable throat and don’t complain as much as I do.
Tonight I had a wonderful surprise. My friend David spontaneously came over, and then I got a phone call from #1 saying she’d gone to Ikea and got stuck this side of Santa Cruz so did we want to get dinner in Palo Alto? Yeahoo! David and I hopped in the car(pool lane) and met her at Nola’s (New Orlean’s fare) where I realised that in New Orleans…everyone eats SHELLFISH. hahah I got a burger.
I also found out that when there are 3 people at the table and the place is LOUD, my throat will hurt if I want the people I am with to hear me. But my burger was excellent…as were the beignets after that. Of course. When is deep fried dough smothered in powdered sugar with dipping sauces NOT good?
Tomorrow I am off to Murphy…wherever that is. I looked on a map and I still don’t know. I just know I should get water and gas in Stockton and not pick up any hitchhikers. My sister is going to a wedding on Saturday afternoon so I am to play Super Aunt Shelby while she is away. Can do. Have a great weekend, all! Revel in your non-sore throats.

Shelby, it has been six weeks since my MMA surgery. I just had the arch bars removed and I was disappointed because they said my bite was off on both sides. Also, I am really annoyed by my whole lower lip being numb and my chin being numb. The surgeon said that both nerves were damaged during the surgery, one was completely seperated. They repaired both, but said due to my age it was problematic as to whether feeling would come back to my chin and lower lip. This really annoys me as I have found I have food on my chin and lip they I don’t know that is there. I am also irritated that something will have to be done to correct the bite issue. Apparently they didn’t feel that leaving the arch bars in would solve this problems. I am supposed to go back Jan 19 and he present options on this problem.
I enjoyed your site.
