Tuesday-Thursday Post-Op Day 5

It's been a few days!

First I just have to say: SNEEZING! I sneezed more this past week than I have the entire year. Through my mouth, no big deal. Felt really good to sneeze, oddly enough!

Between Post Op Day 3 and Monday's picture post I was so exhausted from the Vicodin and remaining anaesthesia that I basically pooped out for the past few days. The Tylenol was wearing off way before I could take the next dose. So I used my ice pack on my cheeks to get through the remaining hours. Also, coughing at night and throat sore. Teeth definitely hurt really bad. Black eyes (more like really, really dark brown and yellow..no blue). 
Can't see extent shiner but they're there!

Re-Cap:

Post Op Day 4: Tuesday was still difficult for me pain wise since my throat really started hurting and my teeth felt like they got whacked with a hammer.  My appetite was on and off, seriously sick of blah foods. Craving salt. Bruising is very yellow now, as is tip of my nose through tape. Nose itching. Going exactly 5 hours without Tylenol before pain returns. Still had drainage, reddish/yellowish but inside of my nostrils much clearer. Felt air through my nostrils for the first time in my life...surreal and amazing! <3



Post Op Day 5: Wednesday, lasting 9 hours without Tylenol. Took Last dose of Tylenol at 4 pm. Felt way better, tried walking around the house more. Still felt weak. Much less drainage from nose. Throat getting really itchy. Wanted to rip cast off...and tired of sleeping upright!
