2 Day Post Op

I was a lot more swollen on this day. Most of the swelling had moved to my cheeks and under my neck. The doctor said that it was normal and to expect more swelling into day 3. By that time, he said it should plateau. Thank god bc I'm not sure where else I can swell! Besides the swelling, I'm pretty much numb from my lower eyelids down. I seem to have some sensation on the side of my cheeks, but that's about it. I remember this is par for the course at this point. I can move my lips some, but don't think i can manage a straw just yet.

The discomfort was definitely heightened with the increased swelling. I was able to eat some today including a yummy shake my mom made and some pureed black beens. Still trying to stay on top of the hydration. I've found I can knock one or the other out, but doing both is still kinda tricky right now bc of how much time it takes.

I had a few friends stop by and it was nice to see their faces. Not sure they would say the same about mine just yet lol. But, it was nice to have something to do, but sit here. I also went on a little walk with my mom just to get outside and try to keep up some energy. It felt good to get outside, even if it was 107 out.

Took a few pictures of the day....The lighting wasn't great, but you get some of the idea. The white stuff on my lips is a prescribed steroid cream...make sure you have it bc your lips will become insanely swollen and it helps medicate them when they start splitting. Also, I think I mentioned this bottle. It is a game changer to drink out of and eat...makes things so much easier and quicker!
