Day 4: Woke up with the biggest headache of my life. I wanted to stay in bed and sleep all day. I watched a bit of tv ad took some Tylenol. The swelling had gone down. Im finally starting to see some change (:
Day 5: I woke up and my right eye was bleeding. It was a few drops, cleaned it out with a cotton swab. That same eye is a bit sore. It hurts when i blink and when i move it from side to side. Im not too worried because it stopped. If it happens again thats when i might freak lol. I feel a lot of pressure on my forehead and the top of my head, im thinking that its because of the swelling around my face. The swelling has gone down a bit more, and the bruises are yellowing around both eyes.

Day 1, 2, and 3

Day 1: My surgery went great. I went in there and don't remember a thing. I came home a few hours later and felt no pain at all. The anesthesia didn't affect me at all either. I was on a juice/soup diet for the rest of the day, just in case. I iced all day in hopes of keeping the swelling to a minimum.
Day 2: I woke up, felt no pain. The swelling is crazy. I didn't know my face could get this swollen. The bruises aren't showing yet. I am dying of boredom, i read reviews that said to stay away from tv, and computers, and reading. I think that's the hardest part of this, that i have nothing to do besides sleep and eat.
Day 3: I woke up and my head was pounding and felt a little light headed. My eyes were glued shut by this white discharge that was coming out of them. I didn't know if it was normal so i called the doctor just to make sure. My face is more swollen than day 2, but the swelling isn't as high as it was before. It seems to have moved to the rest of my face. Instead of just having swollen eyes, now my whole face looks fat lol. The doctor office did call me back to let me know that everything seemed normal. My head hurts more when i try to move my eyes. The pain is coming from behind the eyes. I haven't taken any pain medicine at all but i think i might just give in today and take some Tylenol.
I think the most uncomfortable thing is just having to sleep with my head elevated. I cant get comfortable and my neck hurts because I'm not used to sleeping like this.
