Making progress!!! Looking way better, feeling way better and bloody tramadol thank the lord. It literally made me feel so shit, I don't understand why people would take it for fun. EW EW EW.
Now i'm just on Paracetamol, ibuprofen and traumeel and feel great. In saying that I still am tired and get worn out easily. I went for a few walks which felt like marathons because my bod is so fatigued. I saw a movie with my friends and it was very nice to get out of the house. My hip is feeling a bit better still rather sore and I can't sleep on it or move to quickly. My entire top lip to the bottom of my nose is numb. My chin is so sensitive and when it touches cold water it feels like ice is burning me. The face is still pretty swollen, tender and numb. It constantly tingles and has pins and needles which drives me crazy especially when trying to sleep. Inside my mouth is sore as there are soo many stitches, rubber bands and surgical hooks which just continually irritate my gums and mouth. I'm very sensitive physically and emotionally it is weird how a surgery can really take it out of you. But I have great friends and family supporting me. You wouldn't really understand how draining this surgery is unless you have had it or have had a major surgery of some sort, its hard to explain but it is so exhausting. My family have had to deal with loads of tears, moods, tantrums and many more unpleasant experiences around me. Its safe to say that everybody including myself are extremely over this and I wish I could just fast forward 6 months and be fully recovered. To anyone getting this surgery this is not meant to scare you, everyone is different and already I feel the surgery is worth it. I visually look like a chipmunk but having my top teeth over my bottom teeth is rather amazing and if given the choice I wouldn't go back and change anything!
