1 Week

Well well....

1 Week is now complete. Crazy right? I am starting to see some semblance of a real face here. Most of the pain is gone, the only real true discomfort I have from the procedure itself is when I try to lay down/Sleep. I think it has to do with the positioning of my bones and the ravaging that occurred in my sinuses, which still have not FULLY healed as of yet. Of course the amount of erroneous metal in my mouth is incredibly inconvenient let alone uncomfortable, but I suppose I can make do with what is in front of me.

My sleeping pattern is all out of whack. I can't sleep more than 4 hours at a time. I used to be someone who required AT LEAST 6 hours a night to function fully and properly. I suppose when you have nothing to do the next day you don't need as much sleep? I don't know.

I met with the surgeon yesterday. He said I look good, actually better than I should, and that I am ahead of the normal healing schedule. He'll see me in a week. Damn it Jody. You have to be an overachiever at everything don't you? I'm only happy when I'm on top hahahahahaha

I am going to take my walk today, the leaves are pretty. I have some things i have to drop off at the office and according to Channel 9 right now, it it going to be a lovely afternoon for a walk. So now i have to somehow find some sneakers in my closet of heels and head on out.

Things I have learned in this last week of recovery -

~ I don't get along well with over the counter pain killers. This is the second time I have been prescribed a pain killer and it has made me sick. Its either the big stuff or nothing.

~ The Elliot hospital is a weird weird place. I don't know if its the meds they give people, or just people around here are just weird period.

~ Betty Crocker is my hero

~ Maury Povich does nothing but paternity tests now. Seriously!! But it's funny cause they are all super trashy and ghetto. I love when the "alleged" fathers dance when they are told they are not the father.

~ Naps are not just for kids.

~ Bacitracin does not heal busted lips despite popular belief. I have a super secret Mexican cream that has worked like a CHARM.

So that's all I have for today. Thank you all for reading my jibberish/rants/miscellaneous whatevers every day. I will continue to entertain for as long as I am home.

Talk to you soon!
