I am now 5 days post op....I am still waiting to get over the hurdle of the worst part of recovery...I hear it should be coming soon.
It has been a very uneventful few days so not really much to report. Wayne says the swelling is definitely going down every day. I do still need the pain meds and even wake up when I am sleeping because of the pain...it is not excruciating..but the pain. Is still there...
I did manage to get down 2 whole protein shakes yesterday , which amounted to about 500 calories...definitely not enough but getting more every day. Today I will try to see if I can get a smoothies down...I dont't really have much of an appetite either... although I know I need to eat..
Wayne went to work today and my friend Andrea will cone spend the day with me..and my mom will be here later for a few days....nothing like mom taking care of you...
Here are a few pics...the first is last Nov right before my first surgery and the last from today...
Th chin dressing can probably come off today or tomorrow..they said 5 days and that it would probably com off in the shower. Excited To see what yew chin looks like!
Your looking good Wendy; congratulations. Sounds like you have a good support group. Everyday will get better.
