Well I am on day 5 of my recovery, last night was the worst so far. I couldnt sleep, I took more pain meds like I was told to and its still horridly painful. My bruising has really started to take place, my left eye is about to have a shiner, my whole chin is starting to change color and my neck and behind my ears is fully bruised. I called the doctor to see what we can do about my pain, they decided we would just move my post op a day earlier. So I guess stiches will come out tomorrow, not sure how I feel about that. Every surgery I have ever had used the kind that just dissolve.
That was me 2 days after surgery, I was super puffy and had no feeling in my chin or near my ears. Swelling has gone down a decent amount, I still have no feeling, so we added the bruising. I do have 10 stiches total and 6 permanent screws, not to mention the loss of some hair because they had to shave some for the surgery. I am still on a liquid diet, I eat a lot of mushy malt o meal, drink lots of juice, i have boost to keep up my vitamin levels oh and lets not forget all the soup and smoothies i have.
Here I am today, top stich by ear, then one below my ear lobe then the third on my cheek. The other stiches are inside my mouth and my screws are inside my jaw. They took a good inch or so off of my hair, which I am very sad about!
Here is a front view, still very puffy, i have a chin though, which is nice. Well, now its time to get some more liquids in.
Hope everyone has a great day!
