Day 9 and 10 post-op

Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th April
Yesterday I went to watch my tennis club play a match - I can't wait to be able to play again! I ended up babysitting for a lot of it, which was exhausting, especially when even just talking takes a lot of effort. I said hi to someone who I went on holiday with last year and he just looked at me blankly - i'm assuming he didn't recognize me which is very weird! I had blended chilli for dinner - yum. I tried to suck on chips but it was not successful😒.

I still can't talk that well or smile, but the swelling is slowly going down, it's just puffy around my jaw. I'm also a bit worried that my face is lopsided but I'm hoping it's just uneven swelling. Pain levels still pretty low - except for my cheek keeps getting caught on my brace! :( I had Weetabix this morning and a cup of tea which was a first! I'm meant to be going to a waffle house with my friends later - think I will get someone else to order a milkshake for me!

The extent of my smile



Definitely lopsided!
Update: the milkshake was GREAT.

Nearly 2 years post-op!
