Day 6: Back to Orthodontist

I can finally do a proper update now since I cannot really remember what had happened the past few days.

Went back to my orthodontist today and Dr Peck said that everything is well and we can removed the stitches on Friday. Woah, I'm afraid it'll hurt, but I've been through the worse already, right? My mom exposed me, she told Doc that I'm already having porridge and he said it's too soon I might infect my wound.

Sleeping: 
I finally slept for 6 hours straight. Normally I'll wake up every 2-3 hours because of the discomfort.

Swelling/Bruising:
Swelling hasn't really subsided as compared to yesterday but as expected, yellowness around neck/chest area has started showing up.

Discomfort:
Neck area still feels extremely tight, I can't breathe properly for nuts even though my mucous is almost gone. Bleeding in my nose has almost stopped as well. I just get specks of blood in my mucous but I can forsee it'll be gone in the next few days.

Numbness:
I get random tongue numbness all the time which is so frustrating. As I am typing this I feel like pulling out my tongue. I think if I walk around I'll regain some of the feeling but once I sit down/lie down, it's here again.

Numbness around the face area has subsided quite a bit, although I still cannot feel the bottom left of my face.

Diet:
- Ensure Milk
- Brands Essence
- Porridge
- Mash Potato
- Juices
- Pudding

Day 2: Discharged

After much rest, I am finally back to updating this space again.

A little disclaimer: this post was written on 10/6/14. I will try as much as possible to recall whatever that has happened. 

I woke up and I totally couldn't feel my jaws at all. For one moment, I thought it dislodged. lol wtf is wrong with me hahaahaha.

Swelling peaks today, thankfully. My face was about to explode, it was sooooo tight. I showered for the first time after the surgery, imagine the grim on me. EW. My blackheads have also doubled in size wtf, it was so gross. So thankful I could shower.

After discharged, went over to National Dental Centre to look for Dr Peck for my review. Dr Peck washed my braces/wound area, took more xrays and explained to me that everything is alright.

HOME SWEET HOME. It feels so good to be home once again.

Drinking constantly still gives me hunger pangs. sigh pie.
