The much-dreaded, long-awaited day 3
I woke up in the morning, and compared with yesterday, the swelling and jaw pain were much less,
so I was surprised.. The pain that felt like I was going to die yesterday disappeared as if it had been a lie, so I was happy,
and after taking stomach ulcer medicine, my stomach felt better too. I ate rice for the first time in 4 days,
but maybe my food was too strongly seasoned ㅜ By evening it felt like it was going to burst again, like yesterday lol… Just burst already, burst, ugh Plain rice was honestly too hard and I couldn’t eat it, and I was a bit tired of porridge, so I crushed up kalguksu noodles and ate them almost by swallowing, but then I wondered if the seasoning was a bit salty, so I put it away and ate a tiny bit of tofu ㅠ Having the food I wanted right next to me and eating mere tofu instead..
Tomorrow is day 4.. I hope it’s better than now
For walks, I just sit outside for about an hour every day (°3°)
I stroll around lightly (classic homebody trait)
For compresses, whenever I rest, I alternate ice and warm compresses
Mouth gargling frequently!! (I rinsed often with water, and used gargle solution after eating or before bed)
Clean the incision site with saline and apply ointment twice a day
Wear the facial compression band for 2 hours at a time (I don’t remember when I took it off, I was dozing a lot)
Let’s all take good care of ourselves so at least the results are good ㅜㅜㅜㅜ
And lastly, after surgery, one side of my eyebrow doesn’t move at all,
but according to the doctor, this can sometimes happen from nerve compression during the dissection process, and they said it will 100% come back with time, so I’m going to wait!!
