It feels like it has been so long since surgery but it's only day 3! Unbelievable! Well I'm at my mom's house and not doing too bad. My goal for today may be to take a shower, but idk if that will happen. Some things that are going on with me:
-I'm not wired/banded shut! It's great! I can drink out of cup and eat/drink anything that I don't have to chew, but I also talk a lot, which makes my jaw very sore lol.
-I have an arched splint on my top teeth, so no chewing obviously. It's pretty annoying and makes it very hard to talk, but it's not too bad. Getting used to it.
-surgeon cleared out like a ton of non-cancerous polps out of my sinus cavity, so my breathing should be so much better now.
-the first night after surgery I basically slept all night and the nurses were all amazed. It's because I could breathe so well! Lol plus I had my own room with jonny there helping me so it was fairly quiet.
-pumping and dumping sucks. But I didn't have much of a choice because I was leaking everywhere! Lol jonny was crucial in helping me get it all setup and cleaning it every time.
-My nose stuffed up yesterday all day until I got to use the nasal spray and vaporizer. Slept very well last night.
-all in all my surgery went very well. My cheeks are really swollen and my nose, too. Been trying to clean it out as much as possible, but I can breathe so I don't want to cause any nose bleeds. I had one when I went to the bathroom for the first time, none since though. Boogie wipes are amazing.
-been eating soup, cream of wheat and ensure. Pretty satisfied so far! :)
I just want this swelling to go away. Haven't really been able to clean my teeth yet, hopefully will try today. Just took some pain medicine because if the dull lower jaw ache.
That's all!
