Yesterday was the longest day because I couldn't sleep very well and I had to have all sorts of tubes removed, which was not pleasant. My sinuses also were still full of blood from the procedure, so every time I got up to use the restroom, I would have a nosebleed! Hot mess express over here.
My mom stayed with me all day yesterday and we watched lots of movies. Then dad and Jared stopped by until about 9. Dad let me keep my iPad with me overnight, so I watched Mad Men until I fell asleep around 11.
I woke up today feeling chipper because I get to go home today!! Hooray! I am also cleared to drink solid-ish liquids like smoothies and blended soups. The chicken broth was getting a little old.
I'm still pretty dang swollen, but Dr. Elliot says that I look way better than some of his other patients. I also have quite a bit of bruising on my wrists because they stuck me so many times during surgery! But apparently I still look better than most, so I'll take it.
I'm having raspberry sherbet this morning... It really is the little things :)
I know I don't look very happy, but I promise I feel better than I look!!
