It took my mom about an hour of slowly peeling off the dressing to get it all off. Then a while more to get all the sticky stuff from the tape off. I can't say I am really sure yet what my chin looks like because I am still so swollen. I do have one small stitch on either side . I had asked prior to surgery about an external stitches and Dr Taub said it was a possibility to put a few of the plates in. I cannot really feel my chin or bottom lip at all. They said the chin would take the longest to come back and could be up to a year to get complete feeling back.
Andrea stopped by with some chicken stew she made for me. She had it all blended up and strained for me and it was delicious! It was so nice to have something with some flavor other than chocolate protein drinks. I had a little more soup in the evening. I still don't think I am hitting my calories at all but eating soups will definitely help. I am very lucky to have such a good friend!
I don't really have a picture today since the dressing was removed and I really need to clean my face up underneath but I will definitely have one tomorrow.
