Day 1

Hands down, the hardest part of today has been swallowing - my lymph nodes have really reacted to this and are very inflamed. My tongue feels a bit tight, but have been keeping it moving as much as possible. Enjoying drinking very cold Clamato (tomato juice) as it makes me feel like I'm eating something savory. Was able to eat Mac and cheese, ramen, split pea and ham soup, a little popcorn (!), and some chocolate, in addition to water and some Vernors. Woke up feeling super refreshed, but needed a quick nap this afternoon and was a bit short tempered - probably just a side effect of being in pain. Again, mostly from my throat - if it were just my tongue, this would be no problem! Doing exercises and moving tongue through out the day, as opposed to "sessions," but have "stretched" the wound a few times with coconut oil covered fingers.
