Day 5 post op and yep things are looking up

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

Well its day 5 post op now and when I woke this morning I thought

today is gonna be a good day and so far so good I definitely feel

an improvement from yesterday, still have the mask like feeling

across the front of my face but the tingling has subsided and the

swelling gone down, best of all tho, I made a banana smoothie with

eggs this morning and it slid down nicely and in good time so the

swelling on my palate must be on the improve. I definitely have a

ways to go but yeah I am certainly on the other side now!!

If there are any concerns I have still it would be that I still have

some bright red clots appearing from the back of my throat (sorry for

the gory details) which must mean there is still some fresh bleeding

going on in my sinuses. The other thing that bothers me a little is

the dark bruising showing on my soft palate, not sure if thats normal

or not but I visit the oral surgeon this afternoon so I'll run that

by him.

I guess if there is any one mindset that I found made it easier to

get through this this is it " this is managable just get through the

next hour " if I thought too far ahead I found it disheartening. Sleep

was a godsend although I found I slept whenever necessary and not

necessarily through the night. My wife tells me I snore now, but

thats just too bad, all the years I have put up with her snoring, lol

(just kidding)

Anywho time to go do, ummm ummm what??? oh yeah, rest (see there is

an upside to all this, lol)

Bye for now

take care and stay safe

Phil
