So I'm finally able to write a little and wanted to give you some update... I've never been through such excruciating pain in my life before. I haven't been able to eat much at all since Monday, I have already lost 8 pounds since 4 days. I am in constant agonizing pain even with the morphine ever since the residual effects of the anesthesia dissipated. My head swelled up sooo much, and I am weak and sweating and I constantly pass out. When I do manage to stand up I have powerful nausea. Today seems to be a little bit better? I remember 1 or 2 days ago I spent the entire day focusing on my breathing to avoid puking, I was so scared to pop all the stitches if I did. I want to cry but it hurts too much. I successfully ate 2 poached eggs yesterday and it felt like a victory. I was less nauseous after. I try to drink water but opening my mouth is almost impossible and shoots jabbing pains throughout my jaw, teeth, and head. I'm starting day 5 now and I think it's the first day that I woke up without a worsening of the pain, so that's a win in my book. I pray that it starts going down now because I'm going to lose my mind. I'm a bit shy about how I look right now. I wasn't able to snap a shot at the worst time, I was almost delirious in bed. So here's a snapshot right now in bed, I'm finally becoming conscious again. Thank you for your support and messages and you can stop worrying now, I think things are looking up 🥵
