Last night was the first night I slept through the entire night. I slept for 8 straight hours! I probably could have slept more but I woke up to one of my dogs snoring in the car next me. I thought it was pretty funny so I didn't mind.
I had my typical foods of blended cereal, mac n cheese, mash potatoes, apple sauce, V8 fusion, and a milkshake today. I had a tiny headache today and that was the extent of any pain I had. That quickly went away during an hour nap in the middle of the day. My speech is improving with each day. The swelling seems to have gone down quite a bit. It feels like I'm only swollen under my eyes and upper lip. At least I hope I'm swollen there and that's not the size of my cheek implants! I can actually feel the cheek implants when touching slightly under
my eye. They still feel so foreign!
My nose seemed to bleed slowly all day today. I also coughed up a massive wad of mucus and blood, mostly that thick, mucus-ey blood I have talked about before. It felt good to get it out, but it kind of worried me.
I still have all the same numbness but today I had a lot of tingling in those areas. This excites me for some reason because I think the tingling will lead to me regaining the feeling but the doctor never said anything like this. Once this numbness goes away, I will feel so close to normal (besides the mumbling) and I can't wait!
You sound like a new man! But...
ReplyDeleteJust remember that as fresh and lively as you're beginning to feel on the outside, on the inside you're still a sick and twisted soul with no sense of purpose or humanity.

Jakey explain what meds your on now. just Ibuprofen? do you have a scrip for something stronger just in case?
ReplyDeleteAllie I am taking nothing at this point. I mainly took ibuprofen the first week or so. I did take vicodin the first couple days if I needed it but I didn't need it too much. I mainly took it bc I thought it would help me sleep but it actually does the opposite so I stopped taking it.
ReplyDeleteRyan-You couldn't possibly compare me to the grinch! haha
