Hello,
Friday was a really good day. I did wake up with a trail of bloody drool running from the corner of my mouth (lovely) and apparently my snoring was quite something to behold but I managed a bath in the morning (the shower is still a bit scary in case it goes on my face), breakfast (milkshake) and lunch (runny soup with a baby spoon) all without too much hassle.
Getting my bands on and off to eat is also becoming much easier along with eating, breathing (my nose is beginning to clear and the swelling in my throat is going down). I am starting to get quite sore headaches behind my eyes and very weird pins and needles in my cheeks - I'm assuming this is just my nerves waking up. Pain is still minimal and all I'm taking is one dose of codeine before bed. Swelling is slowly reducing .
Jake (my boyfriend) took me for a wee walk around my garden in the afternoon and - although it was tiring and the last thing I wanted to do - I felt a lot better after it! I have slight yellowy bruising on my neck now from the surgery and I look really thin, I know this was to be expected but when I weighed myself last night I have lost a stone between Sunday and Friday evening. I know it will take time to build myself up again but looking in the mirror isn't exactly fun right now. I'm really pleased with how everything is progressing.
The hamster cheeks are getting a bit old but they are slowly starting to go down now.
