Hi guys 8 dyas post op today. Have to say this wk has not been easy.... took the flu, was very down couldnt stop crying and last few days lip has been very sore like gums inside to tight or sumthing.
Well today was a tuirning point for me.... ortho said everthing healin very well and she cleaned out splint and said it will be comin off next wk. Also talked to her bout pain inside lip and she agrred was very swollen and skin on lip breakin quite bad because of this. Surgeon came in and took one look and said it was was stich doing it. he nipped it away and straight away teh relief was fantastic.
Have to stick to liquid diet now as she wants elastics on at all time but really excited that splint off next thurs as means elastics can be taken out xmas day to eat sum mashed up dinner which im really looking forward too.lol
Tols ortho how i was feelin she said it is quite normal as it is all big changes in short space of time. After her wee pep talk i give myself kick up the ass and just told myself to get on with it.lol asked bout elastics she said 4 wks in total then will change to diff ones aftre that but they wont be as restricted...be able to talk etc...
So all and all very happy today and now looking forward to my baby food xmas dinner.lol xox
