Sunday - 6 Days Post - Best Day!
Feels like a big turnaround today. I took a Unisom OTC and had the most wonderful nights sleep! The prescription meds just haven't worked for me so I gave it a try. Bruising is not pretty (right??) but the neck feels slightly less uncomfortable and tight today. Swelling seems to be improving in my face. Stitches out tomorrow hopefully!

Friday - 4 days post
Called the nurse and she asked the doc who said the sore throat is normal and would resolve. In the meantime I should just suck on some lozenges and take pain pills as needed. Its feeling a lot better tonight after lozenges so holding thumbs. No pain meds today so far. Neck swelling seems worse today. Cleaning the sutures is much less painful today. Hubby has been amazing and cleaning them for me. Says they are looking much less inflamed. See the pic.

you poor thing. It sounds awful. Your hubby is wonderful. I hope in a few days you'll feel much better. Please keep us posted. By the pics you're looking so much better in terms of before photos. I think you'll end up being very happy. Will be interested to see how your scars heal xxxx
Thank you! Yes I am very lucky to have such a wonderful patient and caring hubby! I told him I would never have put up with me if I were him lol!! I am in awe of the women who do this alone. I will keep posting pics. I do think things will improve after the stitches are out on Monday. I am trying not to be such a baby and tough it out a bit - after all it is "elective" surgery and I am lucky to be able to have it.
I ate popcycles, frozen rasberry fruit bars, along with lime sherbet.
Sounds like a great idea! I'll give that a try. :)
i drank just cherry juice 2 days , the dr told me it helps against bruising and i used straw for drinking
Thank you!
It looks so much better now... be patient .. it will look Great!!!!
Hang in there!! The worst is over and every day will get a little better! Just think about that pretty new face right around the corner!
Thank you! Too true and today is a good day!

Thursday - Pounding headache and heartbeat - Just hoping to get some sleep
Spoke to the nurse and apparently the pounding headache and heartbeat can be caused by the nitroglycerine which had been applied 3x on Wednesday. Now doing 2x daily and resolved the issue. Took Vicodin in the afternoon to get rid of headache and get some sleep and that really helped.
Took another Vicodin at bedtime but didn’t sleep because my throat was hurting really badly when I swallowed.

It's been 5 days. It will get better!!!
You're right! What a difference a day makes! How are you doing with your TT and lipo etc?
It's a slow healing process. Every week is better. The lipo is the toughest!!
Bless Your Heart! Oh! My!
I would love to see your results! You are a brace Lady. I am feeling some of your pain!

Thanks for the supportive comments! Definitely improving now! Didn't feel brave - more like a big baby compared to some of the women on this website that go it alone in places far from home lol. Amazing women!
