Post-Op Day 7

DAY 7   (1 Week)
Pain Level  -  6/10
Discomfort Level  -  8/10


UHG! so what can i say about today… or SHOULD i say about today… or what should i complain about today that i haven’t complained about in the last few days or week thats passed already :)
albeit the swelling has finally decided to take a hike and bother some other poor soul after his or her jaw surgery… but its still sticking around as long as humanly possible just because.
IM PRETTY SURE I HAVE MANAGED TO BEAT JayZ in the lip department though... which i mean i can't complain too much about that right?

i think the one thing that is driving me mental is the sheer fact that all i see.. everyday… is food.
Burger King commercials.. McDonalds commercials. pizza commercials
take a trip on good old Facebook and its all damn food recipes that make me drool. MORE THAN I DROOL AS IS, WHICH IS TOO MUCH!
I SWEAR ITS LIKE HAVING YOUR OWN PERSONAL WATER FOUNTAIN OF LUKE WARM THICK WATER THAT TASTES LIKE ENSURE OR WTV GARBAGE I FORCE FED MYSELF SHORTLY BEFORE.

i can’t seem to shake this little ache of pain i have on the right side of my face, from jawline through the ear and into my temple.. its almost like a headache but simply not.. magnify it by 1000 and add a ticking time bomb to it just for extra satisfaction. ice packs seem to do the trick for a short while but my go to of course would be drugs…. drugs drugs drugs and MORE DRUGS.
i got to say though as much as I’m not fond of recreational drug use these puppies have been a life saver. I’ve managed to control my pain in smaller doses of Oxycodone throughout the day than was originally prescribed.
i will on the average day now take a half painkiller right before bed to keep me asleep pain free for a few hours, usually wake up 4 hours after with the thought that i had just been dropped on my head from the Eiffel tower, take another half and sleep for another handful of hours. after that i dabble with Tylenol 3s throughout the day to keep the pain at bay.

THIS WAITING FOR THE DAY I GET TO ENJOY A FULL SLEEP WITHOUT BEING WOKEN UP THOUGH…. OH BABY WILL I BE A HAPPY YOUNG LAD WHEN THAT HAPPENS!
