Day 8 - A field trip

I decided I wanted to get outside and do/see something today. I am getting energy back every day (even though my sleep is diminishing with the discomfort brought on by returning feeling) and wanted to do something today. So mom and Mike took me to a little boardwalk on the Riverview side of the Petitcodiac and then to the Victora Park Craft Fair. We had a lovely time and while, yes it was tiring, it was rewarding to get out for a bit.
We also made a point of hitting Walmart and Sobey's in our quest for variety in my menu choices. We picked up a fruit/veggie cocktail that claims to taste like strawberry/banana fruit punch and two kinds of soup. I'll review them when I try them.
I think the only other big news of the day is that I have successfully drunk from glasses all day today (meaning, not only did I consume it, I didn't wear any of it either!!) The swelling in my cheeks went down quite a bit again over night. The chin is still swollen and tingly, but it seems to be coming around gradually as well.
Before I go, let me tell you a fun story....about an itch you can scratch. Not your regular every day unscratchable itch though....nay nay. From what I gather, the feeling in my chin is coming back in layers, maybe from the outside working toward the outside layers of skin. Well, my chin is itchy, but no amount of scratching on the outside is relieving that itch. It is lost somewhere in limbodermis, irritating the crap out of me. So, those who are simply scrambling to reach the center of their back, consider yourselves lucky ;)
