Day 3 - Pain

Oh the Pain!!!

1. My arm still hurts however movement is coming back
2. The pain is horrible can't manage to take my co-codamol tablets as too big and get stuck so surviving on paracetamol and diclofenac which is just not cutting it.
3. My head is still pounding this is what is hurting the most, lack of fluids probably haven't helped but try feeding yourself with one of these.

Apparently I am now at the peak of my swelling so hopefully from here on in it will start to reduce as right now the pressure on my head and ears is horrible.

I have managed to brush my teeth as well - yes - feel much more human and my breath much more minty fresh then smokers. Have to use a baby's toothbrush as mouth still so swollen inside but nonetheless feels great. The antiseptic mouthwash I was given taste's disgusting and stings like anything and believe me when you have no feeling in your mouth it is hard to keep the liquid in for very long.

I am still managing youghurts, soups and now branched out to custard as well a pleasant change. No luck with a straw yet. Having to feed via a syringe you do feel a bit like an animal in a cage people wanting to visit me just to see what I look like!

Decided I would venture out the house today so went to DFS with my mum to buy a new sofa however this proved wayyyyy too much and had to abandon her and sit in car. However tip 1.  If want to avoid sales people nagging you just go looking like this.... they avoided me like the plague.

Still needing to sleep during the day as not sleeping at night, pain is worse then. Beginning to be able to move mouth a little more and looking like I have more facial expression rather then just a gawping grumpy old lady. Thought I could spend my days reading however this once taken for granted hobby actually makes my head hurt even more so has been scrapped for at least a few more days.

At this present time I am still questioning why on earth I have put myself through this and why on earth celebrities would put themselves through cosmetic surgery? However as the famous phrase goes:

'No pain, no gain'
