Day 4 - Quivering Lips

They said the worst pain I would feel would be in first couple of days at hospital then should be fine at home and should be able to use straw.

'They Lied!' 

The pain is horrendous, so much so that I cried today for the first time from it... so although be it a Saturday I managed to drag my sorry bottom over to the chemist opposite, not without a few stares from children, and asked if I could have some liquid codeine. Now this is a god-send apart from the known side effect of constipation but to be honest I could live with any side effect as long as this pain is reduced.

My lips have also started quivering, not sure if this is due to sensation returning or nerves reacting but is highly annoying. Probably also doesn't help that I still have a temperature so one minute freezing and next minute sweating hot. Quickly learnt that I am just going to listen to body and if wants to sleep will sleep as yawning is not a pleasant experience, however I have now discovered that when I nap I dream of eating one food in particular:

'Sausages' 

oh the pleasure of biting into some sausages, sorry this sounds so wrong... I am not sure why this is my craving as this is by no means my favourite food but for some reason the hallucinations of eating one are really getting on my nerves.

As you can see the bruising is really starting to show... which has entitled me the new nickname of Shrek. It is creeping down my neck as well giving a great shade of green. This should go darker which I am not sure is a good thing or not, might look like I have had a disaster with fake tan!

Anyway things can only get better.
