On day 2 after surgery, from around 5 a.m., I stopped feeling like blood was coming from inside my nose when I swallowed saliva or water.
That alone made me feel much better.
Then the dark circle area under my eyes gradually got darker, and I started to feel bruising spreading to below the eye area.
I instinctively craved samgyetang abalone porridge from Bonjuk. It feels like an instinctive menu choice from wanting my exhausted body to recover quickly, haha.
I visited the hospital and got an antibiotic IV drip.
The weather was hot and my hair felt so unpleasantly greasy, so I paid 5,000 won at the hospital and got their shampoo service. I had to dry it myself.
The shampoo room was shabbier than I expected, so I was disappointed.
Days 3 and 4 were the weekend, so I just stayed still at home.
I did cold compresses, drank pumpkin juice, took my medication, and just waited for tomorrow, when they will remove the bandage and take off the splint.
I'm very curious and excited to see how my face will have changed tomorrow.
