Playing With My Food

I've been prescribed some penicillin by the Doctor, and it seems on first glace that things are getting better. I definately have less pain. My tonsils have gone less swollen, and I can drink water fairly easily now. I still have big problems drinking anything else though, and with most foods.

I tried the following today:

Breakfast - Croissant and Scambled Eggs, cup of tea. I could only eat the soft jammy bits of the croissant and had to swallow about 5 times fr each tiny mouthful. I tried the scrambled eggs and bits kept getting stuck. I swallowed over and over but it was too hard and i gave up. One mouthful of lukewarm tea made my mouth explode in pain so I gave up on that.

Lunch - Had a go with a tin of heinz soup. Didn't go well, it was too sugary or sharp or something.

Dinner - Soup - Again. Covent Garden stuff. Very nice, but too much pepper which hurts my throat, and I can't eat it.
I manage to eat a rice pudding when it's been heated up and let cool for awhile. Frustrating to eat, but I got there. Two pieces of chocolate too, and a spoonful of honey I mixed in with the rice pudding. I licked the honey spoon though and something made my throat explode in pain. I'm not sure what - it was fine inside the rice pudding.

I wish I could get back to eating normally, it's making me miserable. It might start to help the tiredness I'm feeling and get me better quicker. On the bright side I have needed lots less painkillers to stay feeling ok today, so I'm glad about that.

I think I've lost quite a bit more weight and I really don't have any fat on me now. Unfortunately I've lost muscle too, but that's what happens when you are ill sometimes I guess.
