Re: Day 4-Much better than yesterday:-)

It sounds like you are doing pretty good. Each day you will notice

that you get more energy back. As the swelling goes down, and you

are able to eat more, then you will start feeling even better. It's

good to hear that you are starting to get feeling back already (even

if it hurts right now). Hope all continues to go well for you.

Thanks for the update, . It's nice to know what I have to look

forward to in barely over a month. Glad you're doing well. Luna

,

I know what you mean about your face being " tight " . Sometimes, it

almost feels like I'm wearing a mask.

You are NOT just " laying around " . You are recovering from major

surgery. Your JOB right now is to rest, take your medicine, and let

your body heal. If you're taking a nap before lunch ... then you are

doing a GOOD job!

Hang in there. We'll be here through the good and bad days.

All the best,

Carol
