1 Day Post-Op


Day 1
Overall pain: 2
Discomfort: 4
Swelling: Has increased 
Weight loss: N/A

I was released from the hospital this morning after breakfast. Katie and Dex came to get me, which was very exciting since I got to leave AND they're my two favorite people! We picked up my medications and some more food. I brought a lot of liquid type foods with me but since I'm able to get a spoon in my mouth I wanted food that was a little more filling. 

I got to see Dr. Parker and Dr. Ochs this morning before I left. He was happy with how things looked and said my back teeth with start to touch again as the swelling goes down. Swelling is pretty bad today, but it still hasn't peaked. I'm not in very much pain today. My face just feels really heavy from the swelling. 

I've been pretty tired and felt weak earlier today but then I ate a lot of food for lunch and dinner and have a little more energy. I only slept about two hours last night, and took two long naps today. I'm hoping that tonight I get a little more sleep since it will be quieter. 

Overall, all is well though!
