Still had to elevate my head somewhat.
Woke up really sore. Some blood
under the stent, probably because of brushing last night. Gonna have to wait
for the stitches to dissolve to brush that side. The face seems to be less swollen today. I think the pain is only at the actual areas
of shots and incisions. Still cannot
chew with the stent in. Tried to eat
some silken tofu, but only kept smooshing it against the stent and swallowed in
chunks. Still pureeing everything. Canned pears with tofu anyone? Stocked up on
more pudding. Good news - I can use the
straw with the stent in. Feels ok. Weirdly just noticed some yellow bruising on
the right side of my face in the coffee shop mirror. Very slight, no one probably notices it. The barista could not understand anything
that came out of my mouth. The Mint
Chocolate TomNccino was ridiculously thick.
Should have eaten it with the spoon.
Hopefully, the palate healed up enough to not pull out any
stitches. My lips and tongue are super
deformed inside. Tried to go without the
stent for a long as possible today. The
palate is still swollen and feels all cut up.
I can feel the incision and stitches from the very front of the mouth to
the very back. Super close to
the teeth. Started bleeding pretty bad
at night. Not exactly sure what caused it.
Probably eating without the stent (it was only jello!). Maybe going without it was a bad idea. Will keep the thing in for another
night. So much for being
adventurous! Feels like the caulk is
starting to disintegrate on the left side.
Let's hope the situation is better under there. It still hurts to move the lower lip, like
pursing lips together. Another addiction I am mourning - chewing gum.
:( Before this ordeal I could friggin' chew up a
pack in one sitting, especially if trying to concentrate really hard. Yes, a pack of 15! Maybe this endeavor will cure the nasty habit.
