Well, I must say that today has been my best by far. Dr Finn literally said that each day would get a little better, and it really has! Felt pretty good today. Was a little rough waking up though, struggled with sleep from around 4am but had only woken once before that around midnight to take some panadol (a lot better than the previous nights).
Selfie (drooling at it's finest!):
Today I've been up and around; doing housework, walking a little around outside, talking to my neighbour. Feeling great. Weather has been lovely and sunny. Not too hot either. Unfortunately, for Levi though, his back is in a fair bit of pain from sleeping on the couch with me, so he snuck into the room around midnight last night to lay flat and catch some z's. He napped a couple times today whereas I did not want to risk being wide awake at night.
I think my swelling has reached it's peak (I hope!) Now the bruising is making it's appearance. It has started along the bottom jaw line basically symmetrical with my eyes.
My food diary today:
- Juice around 6amabout 1/4 cup (I was starving!) followed by a little sip of water to stop me from passing out (dramatic I know, but that's how I am usually)
- Protein (choc flavour) shake about 1/4 cup around 7am took my antibiotic
- ice cream & milo around 8am (around 2 table spoons of ice cream)
- lemonade hydralyte (I think I was a little dehydrated last night)
- Massaman curry & rice 1 piece of beef/potato each 3 tbl sp of rice and sauce
- Followed by some more ice cream and milo (same portion size as earlier)
- lemonade (1/4 cup)
- strawberry jelly cup around 4pm
- kfc potato and gravy at 6pm
- ice cream w milo around 8pm
- Every day I salt water rinse 3-4 times and also brush my teeth thoroughly. I've lost 2 stitches so far, and felt another one loose today, but didn't manage to move it with my tongue. Maybe tomorrow.
Ice-cream & milo (just to get an idea of what I am eating and also the portion size). Basically, the equivalent to 2 tablespoons of ice cream. I'm eating with a teaspoon.
Gotta love KFC Potato and Gravy!
Watched Bridesmaids movie today, although I had already seen it, I forgot how funny it was in some parts. When the funny chick farts and burps at the same time after they ate bad Brazilian food; I lost it. It actually hurt my mouth so much, I had to pause the movie and walk away to stop...
Overall, a good day. Am definitely on my way to a good recovery. I must admit I was regretting my decision a little for a few days... the whole vomiting, hallucinating, not feeling well thing just doesn't float my boat. But things are looking pretty bright.
Jumped on scales tonight. Down 2kg from 66 to 64 kg. In 5 days. Last time, I lost 4 kg's in 7 days, but I think last time was worse. This time I am eating a lot more...! Very happy with that. (Still hungry though, don't get it twisted).... :-)
Nose still bleeding a little.
Looking pretty funky! But what I do love is that my bottom teeth can actually be seen now. That's never been the case of times past! :-)
