Woke up in the middle of the night again for pain and needing my meds. Woke up early and went with Phil to take Eli to daycare. I didn't go inside because I felt extra swollen today for some reason. My face looked extra puffy. We went to Jamba Juice-again :). I was craving it again after yesterday and it is definitely a good change from my Ensure.
We hung around the house during the day. I got some laundry and dishes done which felt nice. We got some wedding planning done. For dinner, we went out to a soup and salad bar. While I couldn't eat any salad, I grabbed three bowls of soup and loaded them with oyster crackers. I was so happy. I love going out to eat, so this was a good substitute. I felt like I was treating myself to a steak dinner. I was thinking about all the kinds of foods that I cannot have today, so I was pretty down. I am finally missing food pretty bad. I will need to show some restraint when I can eat, or I am going to gain a ton of weight.
Brushed my teeth really well today. Still cannot open wide enough for the insides of teeth very well, but I brushed the outsides very thoroughly and it felt so good! The wax is helping allow the incisions to heal. I highly recommend as soon as you can after surgery, place wax on the hooks and brackets by your incision sites. Apparently my hooks kept irritating them and that's why they hurt so bad. They are starting to heal and it feels so much better.
