Day 10 - Weaning

Well today was a long arduous day, pain is starting to settle down now but I have been told through the grapevine that when you have your elastics put on it really hurts so I am making the most without them up until Wednesday when I am supposedly having them fitted.

This is me today doing my best effort to close my mouth, I now have a lot more movement in my jaw however have no idea when my lips are together or open so therefore most of the time walk round looking gormless.

My face is still slightly swollen on one side then the other and therefore I look crooked and my smile is a strange one lop sided sort too.

Pins and needles

This is the most annoying, frustrating sensation ever, constantly my lips tingle, not so much painful then inconvenience and frustrating. I think I have actually got more numb in the past few days, meaning I am missing my mouth a lot more however my energy is slowly returning now staying awake all through the days and sleeping most of the night. Also have managed to cut codeine out of the medications so hopefully this will stop my tummy hurting as it does seem to have that side effect.

Tonight for dinner: Delicious cottage pie!!!! Yes so be it with a lot of gravy mixed in to make it more like slop but it was heaven to my pallet, and this has opened up my world to all sorts I am still banned from chewing but finally am weaning onto something more sustainable then soup.

Tomorrow is a long day, up at 06:30 so toodle pip for now.
