today isn't so good. the doc told matt I was going to get worse before I got better. I think he was right. but at least I got some good sleep last night.
and I've agreed to let people from church bring me food. I was trying to avoid that, because I'm not a fan of imposing, but it seems like a good idea now...
oh and two things. did I tell you that my skin is yellow? it is. it's getting a bit better. when the doctor's office called to check on me they were a bit concerned when they found out my arms were yellow too, and I'm supposed to call tomorrow if they still are. and, my doctor didn't have to use stints. apparently he uses them about 95% of the time, but for some reason it seemed like they were unnecessary. so that's good. having them taken out didn't feel so awesome last time.
time for more movies, some hot tea and some sleep. and if anyone has suggestions for what to do for my throat--it's getting sore from my having to breathe through my mouth--I'd really appreciate them!

People are always telling me that gargling with salt water helps. That would be water that is "quite warm" out of the tap with a little salt, say, 1/2 tsp-1 tsp dissolved in it. Then gargle. However, this involves putting your head back and that maybe isn't your favorite position just at the moment. Ricola original flavor/natural herb lozenges are also good. Or ice cream. Or milk shakes. Anything to moisten. Bless your heart.
take care of yourself, carrie. i hope you get to feeling better. and if nothing else? try to enjoy a little break. : )
