Feeling really good today. So good in fact, decided to do some house cleaning to keep me occupied. Went for a walk around the garden and checked the neighbours place as they're away. Got a little light headed so came back inside. Did dishes, swept and vacuumed floors, cleaned off all the bench tops throughout the kitchen and living area. Felt like I accomplished something. Energy levels pretty good. Usually I want to sit or lie down and rest. Must be on the mend :-)
Bruising is really turning yellow. Not much change in swelling...
At bed time, I laid propped up with a cushion before I finally decided to go to sleep. When I removed the cushion and laid my head down flat on my pillow, oh boy, did my head spin! Like never before...! Was quite scary really. If I was standing up, I think I would've fallen over. Composed myself and went to sleep. Light headed feeling stayed with me throughout the night and early morning as I noticed whenever I was awake and turned my head form one spot to another.
Breakfast : 1/2 glass choc-milo milkshake
Lunch : roasted sweet potato (mashed), lemonade
Dinner : chicken noodle soup
Snacks : jelly
Medications :
Still on antibiotics, took panadol before bed only

Day 5 - This is as best I can smile!
Saturday 14th February 2015 (Valentine's Day)
Nothing special about today, being Valentine's Day, although I'm feeling really great ! Levi had to work. Swelling is going down a little. I have started putting ice packs on my face again (gave it a couple days rest), which I think is improving.
When I clean my mouth (meticulously) I noticed today that I have stitches right along my upper inner lip where it meets my gum line.. Hmm... I didn't realise that was cut, but that makes sense as to why I have so much swelling on my upper lip. Mum said today (when she delivered me some groceries, thanks mum!) that my overbite seems more prominent now... Levi said it's because my top lip is so swollen it's protruding.
Thinking I'm really going to have to get myself in the right head space before my next operation because in the current frame of mind, I don't want to go through with it.
Finished antibiotics this afternoon! And not taking any pain killers. Woo hoo!
Let's hope tomorrow I am feeling really good and my light headedness disappears altogether!
Day 6 - Swelling down quite a bit, bruising appearing under eyes
Day 6 - Purple bruising appearing under chin
Sunday 15th February 2015 (Day before I return to work!)
Today I had a bit of an off day. Energy levels down. Head felt cloudy and just wasn't feeling great. Happy when Levi came home early from Church. Just knowing he was there in case anything did go wrong. (Terrified of vomiting - not that I felt 'that' sick).
Face still swollen somewhat. Was hoping it was all gone by tomorrow, first day back at work, but unfortunately not. But thats okay. Bruising I can try cover up with make up.
Ice packs on tonight hoping swelling will subside.
