Well, unfortunately, I was fairly ill again the night after writing this entry after overexerting myself by staying upright and having more than a couple of thimblefuls of chicken soup, so I was back on blandness today - a diet of chopped bananas, plain white bread and apple juice. But I'm undeniably getting better, and tonight it seems I'll be able to sleep without colossal pain for the first time since Monday night.

It must have been awful to have to confine yourself to liquids for any length of time - I'm just hoping that I can pace myself into eating relatively normally again soon.
