I'm feeling better today. Still really swollen of course. My jaw is a bit sore. I got the tube removed today that was draining my stomach. I'm on all kinds of painkillers. I'm drinking liquids now but it's still hard. I'll upload better pics when I'm home from the hospital. I can't really see my teeth yet but when I can I'll show you guys. I feel like I'm doing pretty good for being just out of surgery. I was really calm going into surgery. They had some trouble with the IV but I still managed to stay calm. I had bloodwork done this morning and I had a needle in my hip for something..
I had two cysts removed from my nose that I didn't know about. This should help with breathing. It's hard to tell what I'll look like right now but so far so good. My blood pressure is low today so I'm a bit faint. The ice pack is a little uncomfortable as its heavy
You look so great for just coming out of surgery. I looked like a drugged animal. Here's to a speedy recovery. Each day will be better.
ReplyDeleteAwww you're so sweet. I felt like a giant balloon. Every day has been a little better. I miss food.

Thank you so much for following. If it wasn't for people who want to read my blog I would have no reason to post it. Your surgery will be great. I promise its not so bad once you get through the surgery. The calmer you stay the better you will feel and the time goes by fast.
DeleteYou're looking great! I bet you can't wait to get home. Thank you so much for sharing these pics, it really helps those of us who will be going through the same surgery...so we can know what to expect. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteterra you are going to be so pleased with your results I can tell already! You look really cute even with the swelling:) Your eyes look so big and beautiful! Wishing you so much luck for the next few days, you are doing sooo well xox
ReplyDeleteTerra!!! I hope everyday gets better for you. You seem pretty good for day 1. So, on what day do you stop regretting doing this? I'm starting to panic a bit:(
ReplyDeleteHi Tara, congratulations on your journey. I've been following your blog for a year - it encouraged me to go ahead with the surgery. I have an underbite and a crossbite. My surgery is coming up soon. I'm mostly nervous about going in the room and going under anesthesia. How did you manage to stay calm going in?
