I'm starting to get tired of liquids, can't wait until I can eat real food again. Tried some pasta blenderized but wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Think I'll stick with soup for a bit longer.
Swelling continues to go down and the bruises are changing color. Starting to feel like I look more normal again.
Pain has been okay, got bumped in the face today, not too hard luckily but it still hurt. Because my cheeks are swollen the most uncomfortable part is the elastics rubbing and digging in at rest.
Numbness is similar but I feel like I'm getting occasional twinges of feeling/pain, hopefully a good sign.
Tomorrow hubby will be back to work and my daughter back to day care, will be nice to have the place to myself for a couple of hours.
Check out the bruising on my neck!
Kiddo wanted her picture taken too....
My pretty flowers from hubby :D
flowers are gorgeous! and you're looking great too! It's amazing you haven't had that much numbness from the get-go and yes that's a good sign you're experiencing those annoying twitches. I've still got a good bit of numbness and worry about going back Friday for surgery again because of the risk of numbness again. Oh well, guess it's best just not to worry about things we can't control right!!?
ReplyDeleteYou're looking really good! Can't believe you're on the other side already! It's all downhill from here...
