| Day 6: SMILE! |
Day 3-6: It’s getting tingly
The past few days have been brutal.
But again, this is temporary and I know it is all for the better. My surgeon
said swelling peaks at 72 hours. That was not true for me. My swelling peaked
at 96 hours. I noticed my swelling isn’t nearly as bad as the other people who
get to partake on this awesome adventure. I am very thankful for that.
Earlier this week I tried scrabbled
eggs. That didn’t go well. I am using my tongue and rubbing it at the roof of
my mouth to much the eggs. It took me about 2 hours to eat them. But it tasted
much better than soup. I also spent over an hour in the bathroom trying to
shower and brush my teeth. The inside of my mouth just tastes gross. I am
convinced something crawled in my mouth and died while I was sleeping. Sounds
gross? It is.
I am still completely numb on the
right side of my face. As for the left, I am starting to feel something. I had
a few tingly sensations while I was rinsing my mouth out the other day. I also
was trying to smile. The left side of my mouth kept quivering. It was
interesting. That just means I am getting feeling back! WOO!
Here is my mug shots for the past few days.

ReplyDeleteHaha! It's a family trait to have swollen cheeks after surgery? Or are you saying my cheeks are going to stay this way?? I'm just kidding. The swelling is really dissipating. Now if my right side would even out with the left, that would be great.
