Day 14: Second Post op

Image
Had my 2nd post op appointment today and all went well. They are really very happy with the bite itself and how everything is healing up, the only slight concern they have is the lump in my cheek which is apparently a haematoma, i.e. a sac of blood. Yum. Apparently it will start to soften as it dissolves and is absorbed, but if it gets any bigger or starts to hurt I need to call them. I've looked it up, they can be removed (drained) if they don't start to go on their own. Let's hope it doesn't come to that. They recommended light massage, and I read that heat compresses help too so I'll give it all a go. No appointments now for 2 weeks which is a good thing. I took a special detox bath last night to see if it would help with the swelling. Not sure it did anything to the swelling but I certainly slept very well. Also a stitch fell out last night, not sure where abouts in my mouth it came from but I'm expecting more.... Swelling : Still slowly going, a...

Day 10: Meh.

Image
Felt a bit ropey again today to be honest. My mouth is still bleeding slightly and I feel a little low. I had an Actimel, my meds, a coffee and a little later on a protein shake that was full of lots of healthy things like milled seeds, apple and cinnamon. The recipe looked AMAZING. The result wasn't that nice to be honest... Had a lazy day not doing much, a few chores but that was it. After a slightly more energetic day yesterday I felt it was necessary. Finished my antibiotics today, one less med to take. Still taking paracetamol and ibuprofen alternately and am now taking some heavy duty vitamins as I know my diet hasn't been providing enough of what I need. I was desperately hungry today, probably due to yesterday's walk, and despite not wanting to aggravate my stitches I ate quite well. I had potato, carrot and swede mash watered down with pea and mint soup, mashed up cod in butter sauce (which as way too lumpy and I don't ...

Day 2: Sore and swollen.

Image
Am now home and feeling quite ropey. When I woke at 2:30am I was very sick, then I suddenly felt a weird movement all over the left side of my face, starting in my nose then moving all around my cheek. When I woke again at 7:00am my left side was so swollen I could barely open my eye! Apparently I have bled into my cheek which is why it's so solid and swollen, but it's numb so not bothering me too much. Still felt very nauseous and sore and the nurses insisted I ate something so I could take pain meds. This was really hard. They said I couldn't go home until I'd had something, so I reluctantly accepted a chocolate milkshake which I forced down over the next few hours. It did make me feel slightly better I must admit, my blood sugar must have been pretty low. My husband finally picked me up at lunchtime and took me home. Although I really wasn't in the mood for visitors my friend called to say that she was at the hospital and could she pop over! She lives a ...
