Here is a little shot I took after my shower last evening:
I tried to perch myself in front of my flowers sent by my girls and orthodontists' office. Once again, I look possessed or something. But, the big news of the day is that I called the doc b/c I am running low on oxycodone. He seemed a little shocked that I had been taking them every 4 hours since I left the hospital. Well, that is what I was instructed to do, and I didn't dare take a risk with the pain. Now, he tells me not to take any oxycodone today, just ibuprofen, and to maybe take oxy before bed. This might prove for an interesting day, but I am hoping that I will be pleasantly surprised and not in too much pain!
I think the swelling is going away quite nicely, but I definitely look different. I look pretty good from the outside, but the area under my lip where the stitches reside still looks pretty gross. And, I always had this habit of popping my ears before my surgery to be able to hear better-maybe from where things weren't lined up properly or something. Now, I cannot pop my ears, so I am a bit hearing challenged, and I have a lot of pressure in my ears.
On to the day without major pain meds.
