Healing after having tonsils out

 I had my tonsils taken out about 3 weeks ago. Was very lucky to have a good team to work on me. They were an amazing bunch who took care of me for the short time I was there since it was outpatient surgery. When I woke up I felt so yucky. I wanted to puke so bad and when I gagged it hurt so bad which made pain go through the roof. I still have some pain. Yawning, sneezing, hiccups, coughing, and things like that are  painful. For the first two weeks all I could do was eat soft foods. My diet has mainly been pudding and cheesy mashed potatoes. I ate lots of popsicles. Had some sherbet and went through some ice cream. Didn't like applesauce much during that time or yogurt as much either. I ate lots of cheesy broccoli soup and could only eat it because it was more like a broth in a way. Towards the end ate mac -n- shells. Drank lots of Gatorade. I tried eating chicken nuggets with ketchup and this is at two week point and the ketchup doesn't feel good going down. I tried sipping on a coca cola two weeks after and it didn't taste right and it wasn't feeling great going down. I've had to sleep a lot because it is taking everything out of me. I'm slowly getting back to normal. Still have to rest a lot. Will be happy when there is no pain when swallowing or eating. I will keep you updated.

We should celebrate the lives of those we lose

 When we lose someone it's like a nightmare we can't wake from. Some will tell us they know how we feel and they truly don't know how we feel because they aren't us. They can only have an understanding of it. We all cope and handle it differently. Not one person handles it or goes through the same motions at the same time and it can cause people to butt heads. There are days you just want to be numb and feel nothing. Days you don't want to get out of bed. Sometimes eat your feelings or self medicate. Days that you just want to blow up and it doesn't take much. The days where you want to cry and wonder will the tears ever stop. People say it gets easier and it doesn't really. You learn to cope. Telling stories of the ones we lose is what keeps them alive. It is about the stories and pictures. Sometimes we feel like we are going to forget them so we do everything in our power to keep their memories alive. Some of us light a candle in memory of them. Others cel...

Christmas at the Ranch that won’t be Forgotten

  Chapter1   It's a few weeks before Christmas and I am getting ready for the last-minute details before Christmas gets here. My mom keeps asking if I have a date for the Christmas party and I don't have one yet. All I do is keep busy with my 2 kids and work. I have my own Ranch in a small town in Colorado and I run it. I have a teenage son and daughter. My son is 16 and my daughter is 17. We live in a Ranch house. I raise cows, chickens, sheep, pigs, goats, and do gardening.  I also have lots of horses. My husband and I divorced when the kids were 5 and 6 years old. He didn't care for ranching life, and he had been cheating on me for most of our marriage with his secretary at his law firm.  We were only married 7 years. He barely has anything to do with our kids. I have dated on and off over the years, but nothing ever worked out. Lately my mom has been trying to play match maker and I constantly tell her no. She's tried setting me up with men at her church, tol...
