First Night and Day 2

Last night was pretty rough. The swelling and pain kept waking me up. I had to wake up twice during the night to stay on schedule for my antibiotics and morphine (which I have to eat a meal with every dose).
The swelling has increased DRASTICALLY overnight. I can no longer have liquid with a thickness more than water. Eg. I can't even have something like Campbell's Tomato soup. According to my surgeon's office, tomorrow I won't be able to see my eyes whatsoever.
Yesterday I could talk but due to the increase in swelling, I can no longer talk.
We also discovered that the latex tape the used on my arm to keep my IV in has caused an allergic reaction. The area of my arm where the tape was is now red, irritated and rashy but Polysporin is helping with that.


Guess who gets to look like an obese woman until the swelling goes down?!?!! Me!!


Day 2. Bruising is growing along with swelling.




Day 2 . Swelling is increasing. I can no longer talk due to it.



My neighbor was nice enough to bring some beautiful flowers over that have a small teddybear attached. =)




My orthodontist also dropped off a nice pot of flowers and beautiful greens. =)
