Days 7
Overall pain: 2
Discomfort: 3
Swelling: Slightly decreasing
Weight loss: 8 lbs
I can't believe it's been a week already! I feel a lot better than I thought I would at this point. Swelling was about the same today and joint pain either wasn't bad or I'm doing a good job of ignoring it. I'm only taking Tylenol through the night now. I think everything is still numb because the stitches don't bother me either. I can't feel any of my lower teeth, chin, or lip.
I accomplished two goals today. I finished season 7 of Parks & Rec and went for a walk with Kier and Kathleen. It's weird going from intense boxing workouts to just walking, but I have to start somewhere.
I called Lori, the patient coordinator for Dr.Ochs today and she was surprised with how well I could talk. I wanted to check to see when I can go back to work and she said they may clear me for next week depending on how I am when they see my Thursday. That was exciting since I have never been so bored in my entire life.
The only new culinary adventure for the day was white rice with milk, sugar, and cream of wheat to thicken it up. My Pap used to eat rice and milk so it's a weird thing I picked up from him but tastes good when warmed up.
