Well, I'm stretched... I was fine until my nap (around 3pm) after waking at 6pm now my throat hurts. They must have had me on some powerful pain killers after my procedure for it to last until 3pm.
So now I'm definitely on soft foods until this eases up a bit. Thanks to Kaye's mom, Ming, for making lots of rice porridge (aka congee or juk [Cantonese]).
