Day 16, I think...

It isn't easy doing selfies!!  These aren't great pictures but it is the best I can do.... the swelling continues to decrease.  Some coworkers think they even noticed a difference between Tuesday and Wednesday.... I am pleased with the decrease in swelling.  I think my face was extra puffy over the weekend and that seems to be gone.  The bruises are almost gone.  No pain from the stitches that I experienced a few days ago... I still haven't gotten the nerve to look at them but the inside of my lip looks much better (but I would only look so far!).  I think my countdown should change from days post-op to days until soft-chew food!!!  I think I have 5 days left of liquid only. I already dreaming of chewing food again!!!  I feel for those people who can't eat for 6-8 weeks post-op.  I am lucky to only have 3 weeks of liquid!!!!   Amazingly, I have been able to maintain my weight, so that is great news in terms of healing.  Work is going well and I am able to make it through 1/2 days but I definitely feel tired at the end of my 4 hours.
