The swelling that had been puffing up like crazy
finally feels like it has stopped on the morning of day 4.
From day 2 to day 3 after surgery, it kept swelling up so much that even though I managed it and massaged like crazy,
it felt like I was getting beaten up nonstop.
I feel a bit relieved.
The bruising around my eyes and mouth started on day 2 and is still there,
and right now my face definitely looks like a chipmunk? an orangutan lolololol
It was extremely swollen around my mouth,
but today the lip swelling has gone down a bit, and I feel like my philtrum is appearing again.
The inside of my mouth is still uncomfortable,
and from day 4, my mouth opens a little more than expected?
Today I finally brushed my teeth with a baby toothbrush and toothpaste.
Because the inside of my mouth is swollen, it hurts whenever I eat something and gargle,
and sometimes phlegm wells up in my throat. (My throat hurts occasionally, especially at night when I lie down to sleep - water and a humidifier are essential.)
I’m praying hard for the swelling to go down by day 7.
Today, too, I got to 5,000 steps on the treadmill before getting off. I’ll do another 5,000 in the evening.
