Day 4

So I posted this morning, not sure if I would be up for posting again later in the day. I may be a good writer and could probably make this blog a lot more humorous, but to be honest, I feel too much like crap to be funny. So I'm going to be real instead.

This surgery is brutal. I guess I didn't think it would be this bad because other people who have had similar surgeries seemed to bounce back and keep their spirits up. Well seeing as how my procedure was more intense than most, my recovery is the same. I'm hoping that today is the worst and that the swelling won't get any worse tomorrow.

There were a few small victories today: I drank a whole 12oz of fresh juice (cucumber, strawberry, apple), used a water pick and got some of the gunk off my teeth, and drank 2 mugs of tomato soup.

A few random things I've noticed: I've lost 9 lbs, I burp a lot because I can't drink anything without taking down a bunch of air, I have a super bad headache because of the pressure in my sinuses and my stomach is constantly making noises because there's only liquid in it. I also have terrible breath! I'm not a rocket scientist but I'm pretty sure my dating life is going to go into hibernation lol.
