Thinking the worst is over :)

Yeah, it's still sore and I have not yet learned to eat soft foods.  I'm still doing the brocoli and steak with ceasar salad and croutons.  Hurts to eat but the yum out weighs the ouch. 
Bought some cepacol throat things that numb my throat and some "Ricola's".  LOL Just reminds me of the actual commercial with that swiss guy standing on a mountain piping outta that long tube and singing RICOLAAAAA!! lol
Thing is, I'm quite sure I'm on my way to feeling better each day now.  I think the worst is over.  :)
