Today was good. I hardly used any pain meds at all. I massaged my face a few times today and my swelling seems down a lot. I walked on the treadmill for 2 miles at a faster pace and for about 45 mins. I was pretty tired and light-headed after, but nothing an ensure couldn't fix. Today was the 3rd day I've been home by myself and now that I've caught up with updating this blog with all the pictures, I'm starting to get bored and am ready to go out. The only bad thing is that it sounds funny when I talk so it could potentially be hard to interact with people. It's also funny that, because I'm home by myself, I haven't been talking much so when I call someone, I remember that my voice is all funny and that I'm talking through closed jaws. Every time it's an, "oh yeah, that's right; I'm banded shut" moment Seems like a strange thing to forget, but I guess people get used to stranger things...
The liquid diet isn't really getting to me very much right now. The only annoying thing happens when I open the fridge and see something I would normally nosh on while putting together a meal. I just can't eat it now and it bums me out for a second, but whatever. It's not for too much longer.
Oh! And today for the first time, I felt in the back of my mouth near the base of my lip and I felt a connection from my lip to my gums where the stitches had fallen out!! I'm almost all put together again! Very exciting :)
