To all the Dec surgery buddies

[Guest guest]

Hi all-

I'm one week one day post op and things and I am beginning to see

the light of day. The swelling is going down (according to all who

have seen me since day one) and the bruises have faded to a light

yellow.

I am still on liquid only even though the surgeon said I could

try " runny " things with no chewing. My tongue to still completely

numb so I have a hard time swallowing. Are any of you having that?

Is that normal?

I also scratched my cornea while I was waking up from surgery, so I

have a patch on one eye. So I tell everybody, I don't have pain

from the surgery, just one-eyed and numb tongued.

, so the speech isn't great. I try, but without lip sounds

everything is kinda mumbled. And laughing is no picnic. I am a

giggler and crack up at just about everything, so my lips aren't

moving in the right directions and I can't control the drool. It is

quite a sight!

Glad to hear Maddie and are doing so well. Congrats

on finishing your exams. I'm sure that's a weight lifted. Now you

can concentrate on getting well

Thanks for everyones posts, I look forward to hearing everyone elses

suggestions. You guys are great!
