BUT I slept a solid six hours last night which is more than the two previous nights combined! It was amazing! I also slept horizontally for the first time since surgery which felt awesome. I've been weaning myself of the meds as well- no more tylenol with codeine and onto just motrin! I'm still very sleepy despite all this. There's a lot of pressure in my sinuses which I feel behind my eyes and in my ears. My skin's been really flaky also- aquaphor is a must! But at this point, nothing's unbearable- just inconvenient. I can't wait until I can talk and smile and laugh again! I feel like I appear to be an emotionless, speechless blob.
I've been a little more daring with my food choices! My parents have been trying to blend turkey burgers and pasta which are a nice change from soup, which is still my preference. Liquid muffins are definitely an acquired taste. This morning I had hot chocolate through my syringe, yum!
My swelling's started to lessen a little although I still am a Michelin man:
My nose turned up a little which I'm not sure I'm happy about yet, but my profile's looking way more balanced!
