Day 4: Stuffy Nose

Image
Sleeping upright is giving me a crick in my neck and stiff shoulders :( I wonder how long I have to wait before I can have a massage? Kids went back to school today so I had a nice calm house. Husband went off to gym and shops for a few hours and I took a lovely long bath which helped relax my aches and pains. Still can't stand the thought of protein shakes so slurped down a soup instead which was MUCH better and felt almost like proper food! It was just a normal fresh soup, but I blended it and diluted with some milk to give it a lovely sloppy consistency. I drank it like a cup of tea - classy. Still keeping up with the ice packs as much as I can. I bought three of them so I have a steady supply. My nose is annoying me, it's very blocked and trickles with blood a lot. Grim. I have had 3 operations to remove polyps over the years and it's reminding me of that, you can smell the blood in your nose but are told NOT TO BLOW. I have decongestant drops which help a l...

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 3: Black Eye

Image
Woke up a few times in the night in a lot of pain and forced down a paracetamol, woke up feeling very swollen with my eye very closed. Dozed on and off for most of the day, watching a steady stream of 'Friend' re-runs (which have always had a calming effect on me) By the afternoon my eye swelling had reduced sightly and a nice black eye was starting to appear. I am completely sick of milky drinks and the words 'protein shake' make me gak. Had a miso soup instead as I had a salt craving. Swelling : Lots Bruising : Mainly on left Pain : Bearable, if I keep up with the meds Mood : Tired and weak
