For now, Crazy throat from the breathing and stomach sucking implements is the biggest discomfort right now. As long as you remember to relax it's all good. NOT a fan of the pressure bandage~ ITCHY! and does some weird shoving and lump and bump making.
This is about 6 hours post-op. Made Jonathan stumble around behind me on one of many short jaunts. Looking fruity but up and at em pretty good.Trust me, I felt swollen here, but now I can reassure you it hadn't yet begun!
I'm crazy looped on morphine and percocet right now, but wanted to reassure all went well and made it home okay. Will catch up soon :)

Junk: Throat feels tight, hard to breathe, swallowing the "lump"
Assess: It's Early, but feeling way better than I'd of thought
Wow: So good to be home!

Yay, you're home!! You look so darn cute!! Yeah, my swelling set in about Day 4. That was definitely my worst swelling day. Isn't the morphine great? LOL That is the first time I had ever had it and oh boy, did I like it. Get lots of rest!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear everything went well and you are at home resting.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to sharing our experiences! Thanks for the shout-out on your page by the way! Whoo hoooo c'mon Monday!!!
You do look really cute! Especially with you little lady bug (or whatever that is - hehe) :) Anyway, so glad you are home and everything went well. Look forward to hearing all your updates! :)
ReplyDeleteLooking good Kate. Swollen cheeks and everything. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to hear that you have gone through the worst and that you feel relatively well. Can't wait to follow your updates.
So the Brumwell imagination is alive and well (I totally pictured you looking like a truck had hit you head on! & instead you look like you kicked Rocky's ass!) and even if the swelling and bruising gets worse before it gets better you are looking DAMN HOT for someone whose face just got rearranged!!!! Enjoy the percs and the gatorade. Your kick ass soups are only days away now! EEK
ReplyDeleteHey, glad you are home and feeling pretty good. You look great. Take advantage of everyone helping you out. Believe it or not, it makes them feel good to help you. Many blessings for a great recovery. : )
ReplyDeleteYou got those cute 'Angelina' lips too! Enjoy them now 'cos they don't stay! :(
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it through and home OK... Speedy recovery!!! xxxx
I'm so glad everything went well! You're looking good, too! I know you're glad to have this past you now and you're going to look AMAZING:)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it all went well and you are home safe and sound! You look fantasticly well in your picture! The hardest part is over now....hang on in there x
ReplyDeleteI just have to ask... how can you look so gorgeous right after jaw surgery? It's just not fair! I'm pretty sure you sound better than you feel. My sore throat was the worst pain, too! I guess from all the movement and pressing on the throat area, with the tubes in, really makes the throat raw! Thanks for letting us know you're home and doing well. We'll keep praying. I just kept counting down 5 days... that's what I heard and that's when the swelling started going down and I started feeling better!
