Day 3

I knew this morning was going to be a challenge as the kids were going to school...Lee got up and got changed before me (surprise surprise!), woke me up and said that he has made sandwiches for Ramsey for play school and the others are nearly ready, just that Hunter hasn't had breakfast and Lewis is getting Ramsey changed and was going to drop Carlee off at school...by this point, I realised, I was going to be left on my own with the kids for a bit.

Tried getting out of bed and was greeted with dizziness so laid on my side for a bit before composing myself and stared at the one spot to regain consciousness, then got up, slowly walked down the stairs - which was definitely a challenge as it did feel like that I was going to fall down.

Lee had come back by then, kids were off to school and had about ten mins before taking Ramsey to school - I wanted my breakfast so tried to get it myself and almost lost my balance, as usual, I felt useless and got given a bowl of cheerios by Lee - bless his cotton socks.

My ear feels a bit better than yesterday, i feel more chatty, food tastes a bit better and have enjoyed my ham and cheese sandwich with lashings of mustard and definitely could taste the mustard!! Half of my tongue still feels and tastes metallicky, the scar isn't as sore but could feel a bit of swelling on the top and had a little feel around - I could feel the implant, it was a bit further up than I thought it would be but in a different place than I originally thought it would be (hope that makes sense!)

I keep touching it, but think I am making it a little bit sore so going to try and avoid doing it, the inside of my ear still feels like I have a needle stuck in it....countdown has started till the 7th March when the wadding can be taken out - I've been told it's a very very long piece of cotton/material so we'll see.....

My balance isn't still any better, I can't bend down without trying not to fall over, very frustrating for me when I am used to doing everything myself....

Hope I sleep better tonight!
