i think i would say that today has been harder than yesterday was. i woke up just feeling groggy. but! i did get a lot of sleep last night. i slept for 3 four-hour blocks! woo. but, i woke up needing medicine very badly. the time in between my medication just waiting for the next dose has not been fun.... i felt a little more dizzy and foggy today! i don't know how to describe it. i just feel really out of it today, so i apologize though if none of this makes sense! my thoughts are not together. hmm, so i have been half watching house hunters on my hospital tv today alll day. this is the first time i could actually focus on a tv show though. progress! that is when you know you are drugged.. when you can't even watch tv.... haha. so hmm. today i feel like swelling is very similar to last time i posted a picture! although my lips are reallllly raw. so it is painful to move my lips, and food with salt in it burns. i still love tomato soup. let me just say that it is NOT fun being lactose intolerant through this process! hmmm, i am still completely numb except for my bottom lip. oh! i can actually breathe through my nose today. it has been glorious:)
overall though, today has been bad. i just feel super weak and helpless and swollen. i think i get to go home tomorrow. but i just don't even care. i don't mind it here since i get a lot of help here. hopefully i am able to have a decent night! wish me luck with continuing eating. that is NOT fun. why can't i just have normal food? :( anyway, take care all!

do have any idea why you had trouble breathing? I am about to have this surgery on the 4th of October and I have not been told about anyone having trouble breathing...
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same thing. She said something about taking a Sudafed so I'm assuming nasal congestion. Maybe from irritation of nasal passages during the surgery? Just my guess. My daughter is having this surgery in July 2017.
DeleteI just came out of this surgery (day 9) and the difficulty breathing is because the sinuses get disturbed by moving the jaws and can fill with blood. This too passes. I am down to decongestants twice a day (and my sinuses are always a bit grumpy).
