On day 4, I ate jajangmyeon and boiled dumplings, on day 3, seaweed soup and Sulbing strawberry shaved ice (I melted the strawberries in my mouth to eat them), and on day 1, I cut up pho and drank it. Lolololol is this okay... Only the jaw muscle area felt numb? throbbing? so I ate slowly. There are no issues around my cheekbones. I also don’t have black or red bruising, only yellow bruises, and they’re fading. Right now, it just feels like one of my lower teeth is being squeezed. Other than my face feeling heavy, there’s nothing difficult.
Right after surgery was seriously so hard. My face hurt like crazy, my nose hurt like crazy, the drain was uncomfortable, and I couldn’t breathe. Even then, I was curious how much blood had come out, so I kept checking the drain lol For the bathroom, I just tied my hair up tightly, wore my compression band, and dragged the IV around, trudging back and forth by myself. I think I recover pretty well. From the day of surgery through day 3, I did cold compresses 24 hours a day, to the point my face felt ice-cold. Aside from almost dying because not being able to breathe through my nose made me panic from the nasal packing, I’m honestly doing pretty livably now. I walked for 1 hour yesterday, and on days 2 and 3, I walked 20 minutes each. Also, my boyfriend kept talking to me so much that since I talked often, my facial muscles have come back a lot. There’s no pain.
