Had a fairly good nights sleep and feel a bit better for it. Swelling has gone down a bit more although strangely it feels much tighter around the front of my face today. Nausea still there but nowhere near as bad as it has been. I dread taking the painkillers. They are soluble but they taste horrible and trying to drink them back quickly through a straw is not easy. I'm still prone to dribbling a lot too. The problem being that I am still completely numb around my mouth and chin so my bottom lip just tends to fall open! It's really quite attractive ha ha.
Had to go back to the dental hospital for a check on the elastics they had fitted previously. They were fine although they thought it would be nice to add an extra one in which runs diagonally from my top right canine to bottom left canine. I have to take this out when I try to eat which is bloody awkward.
Have managed a couple of weetabix today and some milkshake but got on the scales and have already lost 10lb since going in to hospital. Really need to force some more food down me as I am feeling quite weak now.
Overall I'm fairly upbeat about things and how it's all panning out. I do get times during the day where I just feel miserable but I tend to use these times to have a sleep. I think it's just a case of getting through each day for the time being and not expecting too much too soon. Been nice to have some visitors as well, helps break it up a bit. Apologies if I've dribbled on anyone.
