Kidding Myself

Day of surgery: I AM WOMAN! I am amazed at what a breeze this is. I have a little more swelling on the left side of my face due to the screw being on that side. You can still see my cheek bones. I'm not even tired. The Vicodin is working great. I even get some of Andrew'sd room put together. The fam is surprised at how well I am doing. Daniel just wants his Momma. He keeps kissing my cheeks. That night: I can hardly sleep. Obviously the Vicodin is having that effect on me. Day 2: I have been hit by a bus. My face is twice the size and has begun to bruise. I have NO cheekbones. I am down for the count in bed most of the day. I can hardly open my mouth. That night: Wake up at 3:30 AM in extreme pain. Has gone up to my ears and things are even muffled. Decide to take 2 Vicodin. Feel that kick in within 30 minutes. Thank goodness. Day 3: Still ok with the 2 Vicodin...barely!!! Should be needing more in about an hour. Face is still swollen. I feel like doo-doo. Actually, I look like a gorilla minus the hairy face.....thank goodness for small miracles. Expecting another hard day. Part of my face is still numb. I am worried about this. ~sigh~ I hate anything that has to do with your mouth and teeth!
