Day 5.
Progress.
So even though I woke up feeling lousy again, I did begin to notice an improvement around noon today. I swallowed without wincing for the first time since last Friday. But I kept myself from getting too excited. I knew it was still going to take some time for me to be able to eat solids with no problem. I was able to eat mac and cheese for dinner. It was weirdly exciting. But I suppose it would be for anyone for whom the largest meal in 5 days was 3/4 of a small fruit smoothie.
