Last night I got in the shower again for a few minutes before I started to feel unsteady. I was able to get a majority of my chin dressing off, and am only waiting to get the last part off after taking a shower tonight. It is extremely sticky and is like trying to pull off a band-aid that goes across my entire face. I didn't expect it to be this difficult to get off.
Whenever I go to sleep after taking my percocet, I have the craziest dreams. I wake up and tell my mom about them which is usually good for a decent laugh, or at least an eye roll.
Today was more of the same: eating and drinking from my syringes, sleeping, and trying to move around a little bit. I am probably going to try some chicken broth for dinner because I feel like I need to eat something besides smoothies, ice cream, and apple sauce.
My lower lip and chin are still pretty numb, but before I left the hospital, my surgeon said that he expects everything should eventually go back to normal because there didn't appear to be any permanent damage done to the nerves.
I can actually pull my lips back and start to smile a little bit today :)
Looking pretty swollen here
I want to get this last piece off tonight.

ReplyDeleteThanks...meghan appreciates everyone's interest and loves to see your comments!
I agree with your mom Meggie!! This road you are on is a bit long but I believe in the end you will feel it was all worth it!! Remember what I keep saying...it's all downhill now!! I hope to see you again before we leave on Thursday but if I don't, I will touch base with you by text. Don't forget to try my favorite smoothie recipe...I have to admit, though, that Tommy invented it. 1 frozen banana, 2 blobs of peanut butter, a scoop of the chocolate protein powder, and enough milk to cover everything. You COULD add yogurt but I am guessing after your 'delightful' yogurt experience the other day, you might want to pass on that! ;-) By the way, nice movie video!! Got a good chuckle out of it!!

Hey girl hey!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey it's Tay thanks for everything you have done for me at camp when I was sick. It made me feel better that someone was actually looking out for me and comforting me when things got bad. I also want to congratulate you on your new job in mishawaka. Thanks for everything and I hope I see you again whether at miss gradeless` basketball game or somewhere else. I'll miss you so much.
ReplyDeleteIt's Abby. I like chocolate .... Bye
ReplyDeleteIt's Taylor again I just wanted to let you know that I'm still sick from camp but the doctors finally figured out what was wrong with me I just want to thank you again for your support and I hope I see you soon. The doctor said that all of my intestines were inflamed and its going to take a month before I start getting better. Thank you again.
ReplyDeleteHi Taylor!
ReplyDeleteI hope you end up seeing this! I'm so sorry to hear that you are still not feeling well, but I am glad that the doctors were able to figure out what was wrong. I missed seeing you when I stopped by school the other day, but I'm sure we'll run into each other at some point. Feel better soon!
