Monday, June 26:
| My first day completely on my own after the surgery. I still tire easily, but seem to have a little more energy than last week. |
Tuesday, June 27:
| Hooray! Today I had my name legally changed!
Some more sutures began dissolving during the day, causing a little nausea. However, the pain level seems to have died down completely, so I have switched to Tylenol. |
Wednesday, June 28:
| The sutures are still dissolving, but the nausea is going away. I'm starting to take bites of soft foods, and there doesn't seem to be any discomfort. I think apples are still a few weeks away. |
Thursday, June 29:
| My energy keeps coming back a little bit at a time. I still don't feel like doing anything strenuous. The swelling is still going down, but the rate of descent seems to have slowed. |
Friday, June 30:
| I can open my mouth much wider today...nearly twice what I could last week, and almost back to normal. |
Saturday, July 1:
| I don't look my best in this picture, but it's another one without makeup to show the extent of the bruising.
I found a rogue staple in my scalp earlier today. I had felt it before but thought it was a scab. Luckily, the area was still mostly numb, and I was able to remove it without too much hassle! |
