Four Days After Surgery

fun
Feeling a bit better than I did yesterday! Swelling is about the same, but today, I am also yellow due to bruising. I think I've also dropped a few pounds. I feel a bit weak. 

But I'm looking forward to the rest of recovery because apparently the third and fourth days are the worst. 

I was able to brush my teeth today with a little baby toothbrush and my prescription mouth rinse. I also drank some of a protein shake for breakfast. My appetite hasn't really come back yet, though. 

Thanks for reading!

  1. Aww I know it's not easy right now but so thankful you are okay and for goodness sake take it easy and lie down! Don't want you getting the big head about your new face;) Swelling that is! It's surprising to see you even though we knew it was coming...can't wait to see you back to normal and smiling and singing your songs ;) Love you, Aunt Angie

  3. Know this must be hard for you...hope you can get enough food in
    to keep you going. That was the thing I missed when I had my
    surgery years ago...was not hungry and could not eat much at one
    time, so I hoarded food to eat later. Love you, Grandma Lu
