It’s day 55 after surgery
First, because my home is far away, I picked exactly three hospitals, went for consultations, paid right there, scheduled the surgery date, and had the surgery. 1. Transportation)) I was worried about coming back after surgery if I took the bus, so I brought my car, parked it for one day, and planned to drive it back the next day, but there was absolutely no way I could drive. It hurt so much that I called a designated driver
2. Day of surgery)) Ha.. I arrived 1 hour late ㅠㅠㅠㅠ; I had to pay the remaining amount, but there was a daily card payment limit, so I had to go withdraw cash, and that delayed things a lot ㅠㅠ;
3. After surgery, waking from anesthesia)) At first I was so out of it. I didn’t even know it hurt, I was just like, where am I.. Then I arrived at the hospital room where I would stay for one day, and after a few hours the anesthesia started wearing off
4. Postoperative pain)) Wow, this is hard to describe;; I was really sooooo—— much in pain that I couldn’t calm down. Even though I was getting pain-control medication, it was intense. It felt like my face was being smashed. I truly felt extreme pain for the first time in my life I vomited a lot until dawn the day after that surgery When I got the pain-control medication, my stomach churned and I kept vomiting blood, and when I turned off the pain-control medication, the pain got worse. It hurt so much I thought dying would be better, and I felt nauseous and miserable
5. Review from days 3-5 after coming home)) Honestly, until almost day 5 it hurt so much. It hurt so badly that I cried a lot, couldn’t talk, couldn’t drink water, had trouble moving around, and kept thinking, why did I do this, I should have just lived roughly as I was, I want to go back to before.. this is too hard, I want to die
6. Food)) Seriously, people who say they eat rice around day 7 are really amazing. I only drank milk until 2 weeks. Forget chewing, I couldn’t eat anything Even at 2 weeks, I ate things like soft rice and doenjang rice I started eating proper meals from week 4
7. Swelling)) Mine was really severe. It was so, so extremely awful. The aftercare was so lacking that I separately went to an oriental medicine clinic and got acupuncture. It was really expensive ㅠㅠ I’m not sure about the effect.. And for me, my face started looking human after a month had passed
8. Fat (weight) )) I dropped from 64 to 58 in 2 weeks. This was the best part. I got used to not eating, so now I started dieting and got down to 54. Maybe because I lost weight, I don’t seem to have sagging yet
Ask me if you’re curious about anything else
