No more syringes yay! I am getting better and better at using a cup and spoon. Spoon takes a while so I have mainly been eating things I can drink like my Ensure and soups. The syringes are so slow so I am glad for this. I have been pretty thirsty so I have been drinking a lot of glasses of water. I think it is pretty good progress. My lips are still numb, but not as bad as they were. It's good enough to drink and only get a few dribbles.
I am still very tired. I set an alarm to wake up early and try to spend time with Phil's Mom before she left. I was sitting on the couch and she told me I didn't look well. I did not feel well. I felt so tired. I went back to bed until just before she had to leave so I could say goodbye. I only got one walk in with the dog today. I know I need to walk more to gain my strength and I am going to work on it.
Pain is still there. I woke up a couple times last night and just waited until I could take my meds again. I read other jaw surgery blogs to get my mind off the pain and remind me I am not the only one.
