Day 10

Morning all,

Not much to report today as my progress seems to be slowing down quite a bit.

I managed to go into town today and do a wee bit of shopping. (gold shoes were purchased for anyone interested). I managed to walk around for about two hours without any major disasters. We bumped into a few people Jake knows and I did feel a bit embarrassed talking to them but I tried to swallow my pride and get on with it - hey at least they can understand me now.

Sleeping was again not the easiest last night it took me forever to get to sleep and when I did I probably woke up about four or five times during the night. The right hand side of my face is the sorest (this is where I have the least numbness) and the place where they broke my lower jaw - right next to my ear - is so achy and painful at night. Paracetamol and codeine along with the heat pack are still my best friends.

I thought I would make a list of everything I am "eating" in a day for anyone that's interested:

Breakfast
Raspberry Crusha milkshake (250ml)
Yoghurt (peach, Activia)
Smoothie (200ml, the innocent "energise" one)

Lunch
Cream of chicken Soup (1 small cup, home made)
Chocolate mousse (I've found one that has 285 calories in it which is amazing)
Left over smoothie from yesterday (200ml, home made with yoghurt, milk, strawberries & blueberries)

Snacks
Lucozade orange (500ml)
Chocolate milkshake (200ml, Tesco's value chocolate milk - this has been a total life saver as its not too sweet)
Raspberry milkshake (200ml)

Tea
Lentil soup (1 small cup, home made)
By this point in the day I'm usually so done with liquids that I don't eat much more after tea.

(You can finally see my chin again!)
