This was taken some time after the operation, I'm not sure what time. I asked my husband to take it, but don't remember much else for a few hours into the night. See my nifty breathing tube? It was misting my face and pumping oxygen. It gurgled very loudly and made it hard to sleep.
Day One Post Op.
Taken immediately after the surgeon left after taking the bandages off the next morning. You see that brown crap? That's adhesive, and it took me days to get off. My lower lip will never be the same!
Day Two Post Op. Home and in my special Post-Op PJ's that my mom gave me. Felt like crap. Looked like crap. Didn't care.
Day Three Post Op.
Day Four Post OP. Took a shower. Gross, I know, but I could barely stand before to shower, so I didn't have a choice.
Day Five Post Op. Feeling better. Say Chubby Bunny! says my husband. Chubby. Bunny.
Day Seven Post Op. I forgot to take a picture until after I went to bed. And by going to bed, I mean I turned off a light and slept sleeping up on the couch.
Day Eight Post Op. I had my first appointment at the surgeon since the day after surgery, so I went into work. I had worked from home the day before, but off the Percocet, felt well enough to sit at my desk. Dr. L took out the stitches on my cheeks (which I forgot to take pictures of) and I was pretty pleased to be among the living again.<
YAY Cassie...you are looking so good (and not that you didn't look good before, I just mean you don't really look bruised/swollen). I'm glad that you're doing so well and that things are moving along so nicely! Keep me updated...I love reading about how you're doing!
ReplyDeletePS - in the Netherlands...just updated the blog with photos of our "probably" apartment (haven't made a decision yet). Good luck with recovery!
