Critical Care Unit

I am currently operating a CCU out of my house as I help nurse SpyC back to health. She had all four wisdom teeth extracted this morning, and, needless to say, she's not comfy. I am tasked with the job of repacking her gauze every 30-45 minutes and making sure she's nourished and takes her meds. Things seem to be going fine... she's eating little bits here and there and drinking lots of fluids.

Thank goodness for Campbell's "Soup at Hand" soup. It's in a micorwaveable container and you drink the soup right from the can. The design makes it very easy for SpyC to consume her "when I'm not feeling well I like to eat tomato soup" soup. I bought one with plans to refill it from the old fashioned can... the ready-made deal is nearly three times the cost of the traditional can. SpyC's diet also consists of mashed potatoes, strawberry milkshake, cranberry juice, raspberry, peach and key lime yogurt and water. Hopefully by Sunday she can tackle a more substantial diet tackling solid foods. For now, it's baby steps.

I had a root canal yesterday and can happily report I don't have any pain. My gums are a little tender where the needle entered, but other than that, I feel peachy! Thank goodness for that. We only need one of us down and out right now... two would not be good. And although I am trying my best, and SpyC says I am doing fine, SpyC still wants her mommy. And I don't blame her. When I'm under the weather I still want my mommy too.
